Hello Gents,

Having a problem with my H-S HTR. When I fire a shot the 10 round magazine drops out of the rifle immeadiately after the shot. The magazines feed smoothly and the rifle is accurate. This only happens with the ten round magazines, never with the five (3) rounders. I'm beginning to think that the spring that is tensioning the magazine release lever is too weak and is being pushed back by the weapons recoil when a shot is fired but I am not a gunsmith so I don't know for sure. Any advice will be appreciated. I have tried to contact H-S by email but their website does not respond.

Thank you,

Keith Hanneman
