Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Because many clubs have allowed .22 rimfire during the ammo shortage, I have been getting numorous contacts on how to set up the Henry short stroke rifle. I hope to produce a couple more videos about the Henry to help folks that want to do some easy mods to their Henry rifle. This video ONLY covers the short stroke mod and information on the bolt. The Video. I hope you like it. Please let me know if I could have done it different or better. Thanks! EDIT: at about the 4:30 mark, I mention 'width of buffer'. I meant to say 'Bolt'. sorri. ..........Widder
Derringer Dan Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Just got mine back from Slater. Sooooooooo smooth. Gunna throw some rounds through it tomorrow afternoon. Well done video. Thanks!!
Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Yo-Ho Widder great job on the video Mike & keep up the good work my friend. JRJ
Nickel City Dude Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Nice video. I don't have a Henry but it was interesting to look at.
Turkey Flats Jack Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Wow don't we all wished every short stroke was that easily accomplished! Thank you for the how too!

Gunna throw some rounds through it tomorrow afternoon. Well done video. Thanks!! Slater does an EXCELLENT job with the Henry 'Soft Stroke' mods. If I didn't have the know how, I would want him to work on mine. There are MANY areas of the Henry that are smoothed, checked for burrs, RECHECKED, and of course, his trigger jobs are something to brag about. My next video, I hope to share info about the hammer spring mod. AND..... I hope to show everyone a couple mods that I have rarely done. They are the 'Kiss of Wow' in setting up a Henry that I personally prefer. Hopefully, I should have that video prepared by next weekend. Thanks everyone for your kind words. If ya got any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If ya got anything bad to say..... call my PR man in Bucksnort, TN Williams, at BR-549. ..........Widder
Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Awaiting your next video Widder & thanks pilgrim.

Only to the point of smoothing it up. I've never short stroked one although I have looked at it before. I have one that I bought my daughter in 93, the week she was born. It basically hers and it still looks like a NIB. Doubt she will ever part with it. ..........Widder

Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Excellent! What a fine example of The Cowboy Way of sharing knowledge to make this game more enjoyable. Thanks ever so much!
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I don't get it...what does this video have to do with Soft Serve?

If you were only my neighbor, I could explain it to you..... I named it the 'Soft Stroke' mod because the buffer not only gives it a short stroke of 1.25" less lever arch, but it quietens the metal to metal contact of the lever and frame. The 'buffer' makes it soft. Red Knee wanted to name it the 'Quiet Stroke', but I chose 'Soft Stroke'. Everybody already used 'short stroke' for everything, pistols/rifles, etc..... DQ has Soft Serve. Widder has Soft Stroke..... ..........Widder

Eyesa Horg Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Nice video Widder. Thanks for doing mine for me as well as the Slater trigger. It's quite fun to play with. About 5 bricks through it now since you did it!
Middlefork Bob, SASS #53945 Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Got a link to get the buffers? I have searched power custom and Volquartsen and can't seem to find them. OK it seems you need to cut a 10-22 buffer to the lengths mentioned on the video??

Marshal Chance Morgun Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 From the title, I was a little hesitant to open the post
Doc Nelson #19958 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Just did mine last night, so easy, so much improvement, so much closer to my toggle link rifles. Doc Nelson
