Henry 22 Lever

MrGunz22

I have a question for anyone familiar with Henry 22lr lever action rifles. I have one and absolutely love it except for one thing. The forearm wood wiggles a little. I can't seem to tighten it. Is this normal?

I have 4 of them. none of them wiggle on the forearm. I have had all mine apart including forearms for cleaning, and they still don't wiggle. make sure the forearm is slid all the way back and then tighten the forearm band.

Had a Marlin that did that, I shimmed it with a tooth-pick and it cured the wiggle [;)]. You may have to search around for the best location in the forearm to place it if you decide to try it.

MrGunz22,

If you read the "Henry" subforum, on another Web site, then you will see that your question is asked several times a year. If the overall fit & finish is alright, and you just want to stop the "wiggle", then take off the forearm, and put a short length of black electrical tape on it, in the barrel trough, like this (front & rear):



This satisfies most of the Henry owners that are concerned about it.[;)]

Now, my Henry H001L has this same condition, which is really just a small, back-and-forth sliding of the forend. My personal cure is to leave it, as-is. [:D]

Shoot some for me![:D]
