Weak ejection

Post by smike308 » Mon Jul 29, 2019 9:28 pm

Hi all— I have a Henry BBS in .327. I am experiencing weak ejection with fired cases. This is with vigorously cycling the lever. The cases barely clear the ejection port. Any ideas how to correct this, short of returning it to Henry?

Let us know what happens after you call them. My 45 Colt does that on the last round out at times.

When you call them, keep in mind that in order to replace the spring yourself, you must remove the bolt. It is not terribly difficult, but it does require some mechanical ability. There are videos on Henry's website that will lead you through it.

If you have already taken yours down a time or three, disregard.
