on the off chance you may want to put it back at some point in the future, I wouldn't favor vice-grips .... rather, I'd stick a thin screwdriver through and use it as a T-handle .... here again, if you meet much resistance, I'd stop and call Henry

i might just leave it. at least the annoying ring rattle is gone. on a side note, took it to the range today. only about 30 rounds cuz i had a number of other firearms to use. but its a blast to shoot. and no hiccups, so thats a plus

I asked Henry how to order a plain cover for my mares leg and they sent me one, problem solved. I love their customer service, I own four and have had zero issues.

Most times that rattle will stop with a piece of leather tied to it. I use a piece of leather shoe or boot string, cut to about 5" and loop it around to make a tassel that hangs a bit down. This keeps the loop from touching the metal and I think its traditional method of doing this. Not my idea. Original photos show this being the case on old western guns.

Ive added saddle rings to a couple of my Marlins and done this to them. My Rossi 357 came with that leather tassel so I took the idea from that one.
