Break open won't open
My H&R .223 single shot is empty and I can't open it. Any ideas what the problem is?

Sounds like something is jammed in the action or the release lever isn't working properly.Osoazul wrote:My H&R .223 single shot is empty and I can't open it. Any ideas what the problem is?
If it is the latter you will need to remove to stock to get at the release linkage. It may take a gunsmith.

I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Don't assume it's empty.Osoazul wrote:My H&R .223 single shot is empty and I can't open it. Any ideas what the problem is?

I don't know if it makes any difference on the side lever models, but have you check to see that hammer is not cocked?
