Inspect before buying
Here's my experience. Bought a 22LR lever. Looks nice. I should have inspected it more closely before taking from the dealer. Problems: 1) rear sight elevation ramp missing (called Henry they are sending a replacement) 2) scratch on receiver that someone had covered with bluing stain 3) forearm loose. I tightened the barrel band but it is plastic and I am afraid to tighten it more. I have contacted Henry about these problems, we will see what they do. I called them and got answering machine, no return call. I emailed. The rifle shoots OK, and it is cheaper than Marlin etc but it wasn't free...there should be some quality control.
