Questions on a new henry

I'd love to see a picture of the rifle with that knobbed lever screw. How do you like it?

[JEBar]

good to hear the Hollow Ground screwdriver took care of it .... looking forward to hearing how you like the one with the knob

Good. I'd suggest painting a thin white stripe or dot on the edge of that knob so you'll know at a glance if it's backing out any.

So far I like that I can get the lever off with 0 tools, Im liking it so far. It has a great fit and a rubber o ring to stop the bottom of the screen head from hitting the brass. I was worried right after I ordered it that it would stand up and feel in the way but it's low profile and invisible when I'm handing the gun. I'm thinking range tomorrow

That's a great idea, so far I'm not worried though, I got my gun togather after a clean got a leather lever wrap on it and cycles some dummy rounds and its still tight as a left it but it's best not to leave it to chance and luck

I like the idea of the thumb screw. I am wondering if it will hang up on something.

It's very low profile. I will admit however that I cought the sinew on the lever wrap I was installing after cleaning on it, no issues. Just some slack outta control, it had me laughing a bit still.

So the take down knob was invisible on the 3030 at the range,and after 40 rounds the screw held firm, no movement. It's probably not saving the world's most time but I'm getting one for my marlin 1895 ( which has more options for some reasons ) I had a dummy round get stuck once and had to remove the lever to get it out. I'm pretty pleased with it.

An Allen head type shoulder bolt would be a better choice for a screw placement like that The Allen wrench would have less chance to slip. However to keep the rifle looking like vintage times they use slot headed screws.
I just snug up my screw and not try to really tighten it down.

I hear you there, that original screw was to tight, it shouldn't come apart but it does have to come back off lol
