Custom Large Loop
Custom Large Loop
Have a First Generation Big Boy. Factory large loops will not fit. At one time on this forum or maybe another a member was modifying standard loops into custom large loops. Any contact info would be appreciated.

Re: Custom Large Loop
What is considered as first gen.?
I have an '07 Big Boy that I swapped out levers without any problem.

Re: Custom Large Loop
1st generation big boy rifles are drilled and tapped under the rear sight. Later big boys are drilled and tapped on the top of the receiver.

Re: Custom Large Loop
Well then, mine must be a 1st gen. as I haven't seen any tapped holes.
But I've never removed the rear sight either.
If this is true, then I don't see why the lever didn't swap.
As I just done mine a few years back, I swapped my reg. loop to forty for his large loop.
It fit like a glove, and have had no issue with it.

Re: Custom Large Loop
Confirm date of manufacture with Henry.
11/01/2005. I don’t see any tapped holes under sight. Description on Henry’s website called out loops won’t fit rifles before a certain Serial #.
I previously confirmed over the phone that the offered large loop will not fit my Henry.

Re: Custom Large Loop
Well, I just dug mine out of the back of the safe.
No holes under the rear sight of mine either.
I forget the month, I have it wrote down, but
believe it was Oct., or Dec. of, and I know '07.
Sorry, I can't help on a custom loop.

Re: Custom Large Loop
I can't imagine what changes they made in that area, or why ?
I would like to see the difference in the two levers.

Re: Custom Large Loop
My bad, I thought you were talking about straight stocked pistol caliber rifles.
Never owned a pistol gripped Henry.
All of my Rifle caliber lever guns are Marlin and Winchester.
