Sounds like you don't need much leverage to bend them....sorry couldn't resist.

If you are strong enough you can bend them by hand. While we are talking levers on the H001 I would like to mention the locking arm of the lever. In this picture you can see the locking edge is rounded. This prevents the bolt from locking into battery fully.

Henry finally got back to me and they say I will have to send it in to them so they can fix it. None of my specific questions have been answered yet but if I can not get it back by early June I will shoot it the way it is because I have the first Lever Silhouette match on the 13th that I am not going to miss.
