"Replaced magazine and adjusted lock up." I know what lock up is, but it's a mystery how one adjusts it.

as is the case with a Browning BLR, a gear driven system is used to operate a Long Ranger's bolt .... if gears don't mesh correctly, the action will be off .... with that being the case, properly locking all of the various components into place when the lever is worked one way or the other could be jeopardized

my best guess is they took it apart and put it back together with all the gears lined up as they are supposed to be .... if you take a BLR to a good, independent gunsmith and ask him to take it apart and clean it .... most won't touch it .... rather they will tell you that you need to take it to a Browning certified facility

If it works as nice as my .308 LR when I got it back from HRA service, you will be a very happy camper. Kinda sucks that this happens, but it definatly does not suck how great Henry customer service is.

They replaced spur gear, bolt assembly, magazine, and buttstock. Buttstock was for some flaws on the wood. My rifle would jam when cycling rounds from the mag, and wouldn't eject empty shells very good. My rifle had a late 2016 manufactured date.

Haven't seen any tracking updates since the rifle leaving Eagan MN. Got me nervous about maybe it has gone missing!
[update: ah, finally got a hit. Arrived in Spokane.]
