Large Loop Lever Exchange
Large Loop Lever Exchange
I am considering changing the lever on my BBS to a large lever. To those of you that have done this, have you had to add shims? Thank you in advance for your advice.

Re: Large Loop Lever Exchange
I went the other way and didn't add any shims. It's a bit sloppy like my other Henrys and I might just add shims to all three of them.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Large Loop Lever Exchange
I've done two, one BBS & one BBB, can't tell any difference between them and the original's.
I like the larger loops.
Thanks again forty on this last one.

Re: Large Loop Lever Exchange
I installed the large loop on my Henry 44 mag. I added the shims and like that better. Without the shims, it was pretty sloppy. I was a steel fabrication fitter for 18 years, sloppy, not good.

Re: Large Loop Lever Exchange
Mine is fine while up and locked. Smooth action..... But when the lever is forward loose, it is a little wiggly on the lateral. Doesn't bother me as much. Maybe it will I've time.
I'll wait to see what you decide and others have to say before I consider adding shims.
