H&R .38 Top Break
My father-in-law, who has very kindly and trustingly given me several older guns over the last two years, gave me an old H&R .38 Top Break Model for Christmas this year that had belonged to his father. The gun was fired a few times a year up until three years ago. It was kept wrapped in a lightly oiled rag, unloaded, in a Hills Brothers coffee can up on a cellar rafter! It was apparently my wife's grandfather's daily coat pocket carry piece on the farm years ago and later went with him when he drove a bus in retirement.
It came with three boxes of very old lead cast .38 Specials. Will modern .38 rounds damage this piece? I'd love to fire it if only a little!
