Re: Henry .22 rifles
I own the H001 and the H001M (22 magnum). Both are outstanding in every regard. Like any gun they have little ticks that can be overcome easily. Many have slightly loose forends and people just use a piece of elctricians tape to fix that. I shoot a lot of shorts in mine and it works perfectly except for one freak circumstance. There is enough room at the back of the loading bay for a spent short casing to fall into the action, causing the lever to lock up. When it happened to me it required removal of the reciever cover and bolt to retrieve the burrowing casing. This happened because I was sitting at a makeshift bench. I held the rifle on it's side, ejection port up, and slowly cycled the action. The casing ejected weakly and fell back into the port, and then down into the action. I've never had any issues at all if I cycled the action normally. Kids might have a tendency to do what I did though, and get caught. Just teach them to hold the gun normally and cycle the action smoothly and no problem. I shoot my Henries more than any rifles I own and LOVE them. The things I've mentioned are the worst things I've seen with mine. The good stuff would take pages. The folks at Henry RAC are as good as it gets for customer support.
