A few Q's on the new Henry..

[Schneeky]

So, what was Henry's response? Return?

They offered a return with them supplying the shipping. I've sent Jake in TS the pics and details. With Q's about mebbe me doing the parts swapping if that's all it needs. Tryin to hang onto my new rifle as long as I can. I'm pretty sure it's something piddly and stuff happens. They've been a pleasure to deal with. No complaints about Henry CS at all thus far. d:^) Schneeks..

Do you think you can get the bolt out without damaging the hammer? I am assuming you have already tried putting some type of lubricate between the bolt and hammer.

It's a fairly substantial bind. As pictures from Tractortad show it should have some clearance. d:) Schneeks..

I asked, because I was wondering how you be able to replace the part if you are not able to get the bolt out now without damaging it or the hammer.

I can't say for sure, but I'm thinkin that if I fully disassemble the rifle, I could get the bolt out cause the hammer would be out of the way. I'm trying to avoid having to do that every time I wanna clean it, tho'. d:^) Schneeks..

Oh. Okay. I was wondering about that. Yes, I can understand that. Thanks.

Talked to Jake at Henry a coupla weeks ago. Really nice guy. He said that occasionally there's a little bit of movement in the rear tangs on the reciever during a heat treatment. They can fix it easy enough but it hasta go back to be put in a jig to do it properly. And it's ok to do it after my piggin is done.
Sounds like a plan ta me. d:^) Schneeks..

Thanks.

If it won't come out, then how did it go in?

Doesn't seem likely they would force it in.

But then grandpa did say ... if it don't fit, push harder!

As Schneeky pointed out, the bolt can be removed by disassembling the gun. I did that this weekend with my H009 for a deeper cleaning. Was not too bad until I went to reinstall the trigger screw. Spent at least an hour aligning it. Even, rubbed out some of the bluing. It probably be awhile before I disassemble it again. It probably is a trick to getting the screw back in. But, I would rather do other things with my time like shooting.
