Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
tube feed
tube feed
I am sure is has been talked about but can't find a thing on it. have a H006m and love it but I have this thing with the tube feed , It is so hard to get the thing turned so I can get it loaded. The last time I was at the range I tried and tried to get it turned and just could not get it so I started using a pliers to get it turned. I know it's not the right thing to do but what should I do? I have only shot about 100 rounds and keep hoping it will get better but as of now I don't feel it's safe the way I was doing it.

Re: tube feed
It should be very easy. Are you pressing down while turning? That takes some pressure off the spring.

Re: tube feed
Try spraying the O'Ring with WD 40 or silicone spray. You can also take the o'ring on there to your local ace and get a new one.

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: tube feed
polish the brass tube with some metal polish. then clean with isopropyl alcohol and re oil.

Re: tube feed
the tube is what is causing the drag and that makes turning it difficult. Polish it, oil it, and push down when turning it.

Re: tube feed
The end cap is part of the tube. It does not turn independently.
This IS rather interesting though. I have never heard of anyone having this problem. Not that I can remember anyway.

Re: tube feed
The first time I used one it was difficult but once I figured it out it was easy. Push in, and twist. I can't figure out what happened the first time but it is not an issue anymore. Sorry I couldn't be a better help. You can always contact Henry or go back to the store where it was purchased.

Re: tube feed
And this is my only unfavorable about my H006M. The knurled end of the tube won't fully seat in the slot in the magazine. It's a slow loading, lousy design. I sat it on the floor on the butt yesterday and the tube popped out of the magazine tube like a jack-in-the-box. I'm trying to sell my H006M to replace it with an H006GM. The side gate loading just makes a bunch more sense.
