Can anyone tell me how the Henry "takes down" (separates the stock/receiver from the barrel/forend)?
An/easy takedown is an important feature of any break action gun, and I'm thinking of getting a Henry and retiring my Win Model 37 (bought in 1951 for $23.50 + 1% sales tax in California yet!). But nobody has told me how to take it down yet....
Any info/experience gratefully accepted!

That "advice" is kinda a red flag for me. I have two T-C G2s and switch barrels all the time. I've also had several Savage 219s and both had a rifle barrel and a shotgun barrel and I used 'am all quite a bit.
Commonly I use the rifle barrels (.22 WRM and .25-35) in the morning depending on what's open, and then hunt birds in the afternoon with the .410 or 20 guage bbls.

An/easy takedown is an important feature of any break action gun,
Perhaps for you and some others, but I’ve never done it to mine. The smith that drilled my .410 for a base warned me about a little piece that can get lost or out of position when you remove the forend. Bellm has or had a similar warning and offers to do that for you at additional cost. If you want a takedown, look elsewhere I think.
I did remove the buttstocks on a couple so I could replace the mainspring, and then again to put the factory one back before sending them in for the recall. The action is very simple and robust. They should last pretty much forever. The nice lady at Henry CS sent me a branded soft case for free, well after I’d bought my .410.
What fresh Hell is this?
