rifle broke

Sending my Big Boy in for repairs. Trigger locking up at the range today. Gunsmith said in might be the trigger safety(?) and send it in to Henry. Three week turn around. Dang, that means I have to shoot the other ones more and out of rotation. I am sure they will understand.

How long have you had that rifle?

Trigger locking up at the range today.

Just wondering is the trigger locked up as in no movement I.E. 'stuck' - or is it just not resetting when the the lever is cycled?

I have had the rifle for a little over three years with over 1000 rds through it. Some times it shoots with a real hard trigger pull and then it locks up with no movement after the lever is cycled. Need to pull hammer back hard to release the trigger. Two on site elderly gunsmiths compared it with a .45 Big Boy that they had in for repairs and they said they could fix it but why when I could get it fixed for free from Henry. I like those guys. BTW, are there any young gunsmiths any more?

Got the rifle back today. Replaced Trigger Guard Plate. Seems to work. Will find out when I shoot it. Oh,wait.... The factory front sight is missing. Good grief!!! Called and they will send a replacement in 3 to 10 days What a bummer!

Yea - interesting thing is they weren't even working on the front sight....

Sure you got the same rifle back?......I'd be checkin some numbers.

Yea, it's the same rifle. I recognize the scratches and I had a peep site on it that I took off that left marks on the brass. Plus the barrel is dirty so they tested it and you would have thought they would have noticed it missing. Oh well, life goes on.
