Henry Rifle Forums

Since I own one and have never taken it apart, I learned quite a bit from this extremely well produced instructional video. There's no off-topic chatter, just a straight-forward, clean and uninterrupted demonstration by a smith who knows the gun.

Very good video. Thanks for posting.

It's a pretty good video for sure, but I disagree about the position of the bolt when installing the lever.
He shoves the bolt to forward, I find that stopping the bolt a little more rearward makes installing the lever much easier.
If you watched how he struggled with that for quite a few seconds.
I stop it about where the large cut out in the rear of the bolt is just over the high spot in the hammer.
Other than that, excellent video.
One note, that seemed to be not a very smooth cycling rifle, looks like he's struggling a bit. My Henry's aren't anything like that.
Or, was it just me??

I think Henry assembly videos are very good. I like the fact that I don't have to listen to a 30 seconds of blasting music and gunshots to get to the part I want to see. It is also nice that it is professionally produced without having to listen to how they will have to change camera angles or be sorry about their large fingers.
