update:
Gun shoots well and works well... except:
The feed tube will rotate from unlock and start to push out. You cant see the magazine telescope out when shooting and you detect it by not feeding the next round.
Henry doesn't have a back slope on their lock notch so this is bound to happen. I ground a half diameter detent with my dremel and found a thicker o-ring to use as the lock spring and it feels much better.
The rear sight wouldn't move for me so I need to oil that and get a bigger brass punch for the next range trip.
It seems to shoot pretty accurate for the crude iron sights so I will put a scope on it to test it out. I suspect it will shoot on par with my plain jane 10-22.
Downloaded the henry book and will order the 2 screws after the holidays.
So I am so price neutral on the gun and probably can sell it any time. Its a fun little gun that works slick and may be my goof around lever 22 when I want to pretend to shoot the opening scene from the rifleman!
I fear this may go down the road in a year or two because I think I just picked up a nice rem 121 pump 22 this week and that maybe a keeper.
