looking forward to hearing the results of those range trips .... a 243 single shot should be fun to fire .... please, be sure to revisit our How Many ? thread and add it to our community's total

This thread has been very helpful to me. I joined the forum today specifically because my new H015-223 has the same sloppy hinge pin problem addressed in this thread. My barrel slops side to side about .080" at the breach. The hinge pin is easily pushed out with light thumb pressure. I own a CVA Hunter in .44mag and know what a proper tolerance single shot is supposed to feel like. I arrived at the same diagnosis as this thread. Mine has been sloppy straight from the box without a single round fired through it. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 delays, my email to customer service has gone unanswered for the past week. I originally took it back to the LGS and they claimed that might just be how a Henry is supposed to function. I suspected that was nonsense because this fit and finish should be an embarrassment to Henry. It's a hassle to pay $400 for a new rifle and have it be this sloppy, but I'll give Henry a chance to make it right. Thanks for giving me hope this problem is a fluke that Henry can fix.

Welcome to the forum from CT. Glad you joined us. You might want to telephone CS in addition to your email. Regardless, Henry will make it right. No doubt about it. I hope it happens quickly for you. Please keep us posted.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you get your rifle fixed soon. I have 2 rifles that are going back as soon as Henry gets caught up with their backlog from the China virus thing. Both the Henrys I have bought are going to have to make a trip back yo the factory for obvious problems.

I have a single shot 357 and there isnt any slop in my pin area at all. Sure I can push my pin out but it takes some effort to get it out. Its to bad its that way and unfortunate you need to return it but I know Henry will fix it as I have sent 3 back myself.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Just checked my .44mag ss and noted no side play! As a result of these comments, I will thinly grease the side friction plates where they they meet the receiver. My guess is these surfaces are out of tolerance also. Thanks for the heads up.
