Is a Henry pump in my future?

Post by **Sir Henry** » Tue Mar 22, 2016 10:44 am

I have a couple Winchester pumps in .22LR and am thinking of getting a Henry pump. Any Henry pump owners here?

I love mine. I wish I could have more range time with it though.

Just remember that the stroke is a lot shorter than on other pumps and it takes a little more effort. If you work it like you mean business, you'll have no trouble. I love mine. Also keep you thumb out of the way when the bolt comes back.

What makes me think yours bit you?

Shall we say it gave a slight "brush up reminder" actually it was when I pushed the action release.

My brother-in-law shot a semi-auto pistol for the first time a couple years ago. He put his finger behind the slide. Not a good idea. It nearly ripped off his finger. Oh, he is a doctor and a very well educated man.

Just proves even a smart Dr can do dumb things like the rest of us.

I've had my round barrel pump for quite a few years now, and I love it. My eyes got to where I couldn't see the open sights, so I installed a Skinner rear aperture sight. An email to Henry explaining what I did and the serial number and they sent me a new proper height front sight, no charge. I can now shoot mini-mags into quarter sized groups at 50 yards.

Sure hope so. The pump looks like it is full of action and would be fun to shoot, too!

I retired after working for fifteen years at a university. How right you are!

go ahead and get one, they are a BLAST to shoot. I have had mine about 5 years now, added a brasslite receiver cover. just be SURE to keep the pump handle screws TIGHT. it is a good looking pump.man sized and heavy! stiff, pump it like you are mad at it, just like my 1960s Winchester 275 .22 magnum pump. my 2 Remington 572 pumps are a light stroke action, 1958 and 1974. I love a pump gun!!

Does it take the same cover as an H001?

yes, the same cover should work. the brasslite covers are no longer available, sadly.

I bought two of the brasslite covers a few years ago. I was thinking of doing the same with the currently available silver covers.

the only receiver problem has been an older cover that I stripped down and polished bare silver will NOT FIT my 2 year old big loop carbine, for some reason. it ALMOST fits!! I cant see where the difference is, but Henry has changed something in the shape of the main receiver. BUMMER, now I have a nice silver cover I cant use.

I had the same problem but found where it was hanging up and filed it down. I've identified three separate types of receivers on the H001.
