Widder, SASS #59054 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Hey Pards. Attached is a video about 2 other modifications I have done on the Henry lever .22 rifle. If ya got any questions, feel free to holler back here on the Wire. I will probably answer on the Wire so that others can see my replies. If you are actually doing these mods and want to give me a call while working on your rifle, feel free to call me. 865 / 696-1996 Hope you enjoy the video. ..........Widder
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 Widder, you should send that video to the CEO of Henry. Nicely done OLG
High Plains Hud SASS#64232 Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Thanks Widder. It is very appreciated!

Thank you, Johnny M. Howdy JM. If you get into some Henry's, feel free to give me a shout on the phone. You may already know a bunch of stuff but if I can add any info, I'll be glad to share. ..........Widder (865 / 696-1996)
Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted August 22, 2021 Posted August 22, 2021 Widder, would the "speed loader" mod work on a Henry Big Boy? That would help out some of my club members who shoot that. thanks cheyenne

BUT, I honestly don't know the attachment situation of the mag tube on the big boy. AND, I have seen some rifles that the end cap won't secure at the end of the tube without some modification to the end cap. Proceed with caution. Call me and I can further explain about the end cap situation. I have used this 'speed load' mod on the Winchester 9422, Marlin model 60, and Henry .22 ..........Widder
Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Just got out of my brand new Golden Boy .22 (Henry replaced a failed GB on warranty, even though I was 2nd owner). Did the soft-stroke mod, blue-printed the bolt dimensions, and am creating a spacer for the lever to prevent bending, as shown in your latest video. What a great service you provide to the CAS community! Kudos and many thanks!
