light primer strikes with my H003T
In the process of preparing for sihlouette competition, I have experienced some light primer strikes and accompanying misfires. I also noticed that I can feel the recoil in the slide handle when this happens. I thought it might be the ammo brand, bit I have experienced it with several different types. I fully field stripped it and cleaned it thoroughly, but it still happens occasionally. Seems that the position of the pump handle makes a difference. When I push the handle forward and maintain forward pressure it stops. It seems to have some difficulty coming fully to battery. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: light primer strikes with my H003T
based on the diagnostics you have already completed, I believe I'd collect a few of the misfires, call Henry and send the rifle back to them along with the misfires .... to me this sounds like a mechanical defect
