Pump

Nice looking rifle BAOM. Glad it shoots decent too. I don't have a pump .22, but used one a long time ago and loved it. Might just have to break down and get one, now that I read this thread.

Yes, she is a pretty sweet looking gun, show very little wear marks on the operting mechanism, doubt if it was ever shoot much. Most of the wear marks on the slide are probably from my use since we brought her home. Shot her very well with the irons once we got that fiber optic front set up to the proper height., not bad for old body and eyes. Been having a problem getting good groups with the scope on it, it all boils down to me not getting the rings clamped to the base tightly. This is the only scope I have with rimfire rings, all of mine have Weavers, where the cross bolt keeps the scope in position. Had this scope walk right off the dovetail while shooting it. Stopped at the gun shop and asked for an opinion on and hew checked the screws and took them up a half turn or better, now I know how tight they have to be. Well another range trip and we should be good to go.Yleefox wrote:Nice looking rifle BAOM. Glad it shoots decent too. I don't have a pump .22, but used one a long time ago and loved it.

Be careful around these guys, they can lead you astray. I know, they have me thinking there is something missing because I don't have a Henry and now they are pushing pumps.Yleefox wrote:Nice looking rifle BAOM. Glad it shoots decent too.

It even works pretty good for doing "Lucas McCain"portrayals wirh Fed bulk ammo. And I even hit the target a few time, need some more practice on the point and shoot program.KAZ wrote:A little destracted huh greenerThat little HENRY lever will satisfy quite well as it also has that great 15 round flawless mag. What a great way to rid ones self of hoarded ammo at a rapid rate

No, I always liked the old Rifleman series,Lucas/Chuck Conners could do it with either hand as he was ambidextrous. He did it better than John Wayne.greener wrote:Gotten to the John Wayne flip yet?bearandoldman wrote:It even works pretty good for doing "Lucas McCain"portrayals wirh Fed bulk ammo.

It is a small screw on the left forward of the receiver that put some pressure on the barrel shank to keep it tight, I understand but am not sure the early ones did not have it. It will have no real effect when using the iron sights as they are both on the barrel, but will haver an effect on any receiver mounted sight.KAZ wrote:I had confidence that you and BEAR would get things sorted out! You mentioned that the barrel was not tight,something to do with the dowels screw. I have to wonder if that was the reason why the one I considered buying at my range did so poorly.
