My lever's "slide"

Post by solbane » Sun Jul 17, 2016 9:35 am

just got my new baby out of the box a few weeks ago.
after thoroughly cleaning the barrel, breach, and anywhere i can without opening her up.
a new quirk(just an annoyance i hope) has popped up.
with just about 100 rounds(all CCI)fired. when i drop the lever, it's smooth as the first day,bringing the lever back up to close however there is a mild grinding sound/resistance untill just before the action (click) locks.
is this something "factory new" will do and will work itself out?(just dropped a metal shaving or something) or do i need to take her to a gunsmith?
'cuz there's no way i wanna mess with the guts of a lever..

OP, a new Hemry should have a slick-as- snot action right out of the box. If a few drops of lube don't make the grit go away, call Henry CS and have them fix you up.
