I am jumping into the world of lever-action rifles, where the vast majority of my previous experience with firearms is modern semi-auto handguns and "AR"-style rifles.
I recently purchased a Henry Classic Lever Action .22, Model H001, from a fellow Cal-Gunner. I just wanted to relate my experience, as a newbie, and get any input from other CGers.
I field-stripped the rifle today, cleaned and oiled it, and got familiar with the design and function.
I already own a .22lr AR-15 "clone" rifle, that I have been shooting for several years.
My fist observation of the Henry is that the parts seem to be much sturdier and beefier than my other .22lr rifle. The trigger spring is thick and substantial, and appears to be either coated or painted.
The bolt and other pieces also feel very solid, and the action of the fully-assembled rifle is very smooth.
Disassembly was easy and uncomplicated, following a simple on-line tutorial.
I will update this after I shoot it for the first time. Input and Opinions are welcome.
