Dutch, look it over closely. My Buff didn't look like most H&R products, no junk in the action, no rough bits in the barrel, same thing for both Buffs and a target model my friend has. I cleaned it good, and put two boxes of jacketed factory ammo through it, cleaned it again and switched to lead bullets. It's mirror shiny and no problems with leading. Congratulations and enjoy yourself!
