H&R Premier .22 revolver

H&R .22 revolver
Have inherited one from my grandpa but doesn't cycle the cylinder after pull trigger.  I can move the cylinder but the push lever or advance doesn't work.  Any advice on a gunsmith in the Nebraska area or any information on the pistol or its' history would be greatly received too. 

Thanks Thor!

Does the cylinder turn when you pull the hammer back?  (single action?)
Go to;  www.e-gunparts.com and look up your model they have pics of it, if you deceide to take it apart yourself.  I fixed mine when it was the cylinder loc lever when the cylinder was miss algined.

I understand wanting to fire grandpa's old pistol but in terms of dollars and cents it isn't worth what a gunsmith would charge to fix it. From the late 18th through the early 20th centuries H&R along with Iver Johnson, Hopkins & Allen, Forehand & Wadsworth and others produced hundreds of tons of cheap revolvers in .22, .32 & .38 calibers. Most have been discarded because they broke down and weren't worth fixing, they were just a cheap gun not expected to last very long, the thinking was "use it while it works and when it breaks just get a new one".
