Did not see a groove. Like previously mentioned, the tube had moved ahead about 1/4 to 3/8". I inspected after seeing the pin was still there in the band but did not see a groove.

When the mag tube went forward, it probably got pinched by the forward mag tube support/pin which in turn made the inner mag tube hard to move. Does the inner mag tube slide in/out freely now that you tapped the mag tube back in place? Resting on a bag or not, that mag tube should not have come out of that Henry like that. It may be time to give Henry CS a call....

Yes, the inner mag tube slides freely now. I will try to give Henry a call tomorrow. If not a call at least an email.

Cheers

I took the Big Boy out again today. Shot 10 rounds and below is the result. Appears that the half moon that the roll pin goes in is rounded on the back end. As I am "up in Canada", I have to find where to send the BB as I cannot ship to the US.

Hmmm....if you go on HRA site you can dealer search Canada. Not sure out your way.

Thanks RanchRoper. Even if I got to send it out to your neck of the woods, it will be done. Love the rifle but no much good if I can't use it.

Found the warranty centre for Henry. It's Grech Outdoors in Ontario. Might help out other Canucks on this site.
