Henry Customer Service

[sspistol]

Bought my first Henry rifle in October. A Single Shot 45-70 with irresistible wood. I really like these Henry Single Shots. But, as I thought that it might, it had a fairly heavy trigger, and also had the initial creep or 'glitch' that others have noted. The glitch bothers me more than the heavier than ideal pull weight. With Henry's good Customer Service reputation, and having read a few posts about others getting the glitch resolved thru Henry or on their own, and having tried the triggers on a few Henry's that did not have this glitch issue, I took a chance on another Henry Single Shot with nice wood in 30-30 caliber ordered thru Reeds Outdoors. It has a perfectly crisp glitch free trigger out of the box; of course still heavier than ideal, but I was pleased with the crisp release. So, with a Return Authorization from Henry, I returned my 45-70 with a request to eliminate the initial glitch. They received the rifle one Friday, I received it back the following Friday. Glitch is completely eliminated, and both the trigger and hammer pulls are noticeably lighter; now in a head-to-head comparison with my 30-30, the 45-70 is much better. I now consider the 45-70 hammer and trigger pull to be entirely satisfactory. A buddy has a trigger pull gauge, I will check both rifles and update this note when I have a chance. I consider this overall Henry Customer Service episode to be excellent, and I am now on the outlook for a great wood 243 or 308 or ......

Welcome from the Show-Me-State, SS!
Would be nice to see some photos of that "irresistible wood." That's always a special part of a Henry-built rifle.

Welcome from Iowa. Glad to hear Henry resolved your stinky trigger. The crisp trigger break was just one feature that impressed me when I first inspected my H010 .45-70.

Thanks for all of the responses. I will add my rifle info to the other threads as suggested. I am attempting to show a couple of pictures here as was also suggested ..... but I don't believe my method for attaching the photos will work??? We'll see.

.... well, dang, what do you know, they did work!! Both rifles have Warne bases and low Warne rings .... not much spare room for the scopes in this configuration, but I believe they fit. Maybe we can get Henry to come offer us a lower profile hammer? ---
