Col Del Rio Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 An office mate has problems with his 44 mag Henry. He says that spent cartridges are sticking in the chamber. Is this just bad ammo or is there something wrong with the rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Probably extractor problem. But Edited January 21 by BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Factory ammo or reloads? Use a .50 brass brush and clean the chamber. Needs a 'deep' cleaning to start with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilli GaHoot Galoot Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Any chance he (or someone else) shot a bunch of 44 spl and didn't clean the chamber afterwards. Same issue exists with 357 mag / 38 spl rifles and revolvers were the shorter cartridge leaves a ring or carbon that the longer case gets stuck on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Pictures of fired brass will aid in long distance diagnosing of unseen problem. Your responses will be closer to the scientific wild-assed guess end of the spectrum of possible answers, rather than the silly wild-assed guess end.

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Henry has a life time warranty on the firearm itself . Don't even bother working on it . Just send it in . If they can't fix it they will give him a new rifle shipped directly to his house . No FFL needed . Rooster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
