H&R Sportsman Double Action parts needed

I need a hand with spring (Gun Parts calls this the Lever & Spring) for an early production H&R "SPORTSMAN" Double Action 22 Long Rifle caliber revolver. There is no model number, just H&R Sportsman Double Action on the left side of the barrel. Serial # is L4646. Here are pictures of the part that was in the gun (not working) and the inscription on the left side of the barrel:

I ordered a lever & spring assembly (Part number 1598400E from gun parts corporation ( The only one they have available) and it does not work in this gun. Any help will be appreciated!

I will check to see if I have any left.
Just my 2 cents worth.

not enough rotation ?
too much rotation ?
no lockup ?
cylinder locks up before rotation ?
The hand and spring that was removed from your Sportsman is the correct part, and looks good to me. I suspect that the cylinder has been changed out, or the ratchet is severely worn. Does the hand protrude through the blast shield when the barrel is open and the cylinder removed with the hammer cocked in single action? If so, is there spring pressure on the hand when you push it back towards the hammer? Did you change the position of the spring like I mentioned in an earlier post?
I have restored dozens of these H&R 199 single action, and 999 double action Sportsman revolvers. I have found some to be real difficult to get indexing properly, and the list of reasons why they wouldn't index properly is a myriad of problems. It would take a book to list all the actions I've had to take to get some of them to work properly.
Good luck!
