I think there exists a means for an inventive chap to offer a drop-in trigger improvement for an otherwise nice gun. Mine seems to be semi-reliable now....but I have concerns about a FTF due to a...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Does that in any way decrease the force needed to pull that hammer back? That is nearly as big of an issue as the trigger to me.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
If I put the original springs back in the gun....there are not many of our youth and few women that can cock that hammer without allot of effort....I don't care how slick you make that trigger and...

I have the original large spring in my single shot....but removed the small spring. After replacing a defective scope....I fired the gun to sight it in yesterday. Five shots fired.....one FTF ...

Why no love for that one-piece tally mount and rings? Talley makes good stuff.

Some use the 10 gauge around here for geese. My BIL owned a double 10 for a time. I think some of it is macho talk.....as a good 12 gauge 3.5 magnum will get the job done at any reasonable...

Finally got back to MN (on Thursday) and my Henry Single Shot rifle. Today I messed with the spring(s) and the bolt that attaches the stock to the gun via the "spring tube". I counted nearly 18...

I have owned a hundred or more guns. I don't think I have ever owned a gun with as heavy of a hammer pull and trigger pull as this Henry Single Shot. Mine is awful. In a few weeks I will see...

Started coming to OZ for a month or two each year. Now up to six or seven months a year.....and growing. Not sure I can remain a MN resident much longer. No good reason to pay MN taxes each...

This issue is huge to me. Seems like it should not be this big of an issue.....but nobody has gotten to the root cause (and effect).....yet. While it may seem to be an easy fix....it appears...

I've had two of the Carlson/Henry hammer extensions fly off the gun. Why?....because they are made of aluminum and cannot withstand the firing process without working loose. I have a third...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Mega.....how is the hammer pull? Can a kid or gal operate it?? That is one of the biggest complaints I have with my Henry SS.....that the hammer pull is tough for me and would be for many others....

^ IMO.....before you opt for that 31# spring.......try just removing that smaller diameter spring which is contained by the 50# (guess on my part) original equipment spring. You just may find you...

I've owned a Browning Single Shot in 22-250 since the late 90's. Been fun to shoot....mostly at prairie dogs. I like the Single Shot rifles for their simplicity, safety, affordability and style....
Forum: Single Shot Guns
^^^.....and the variables continue. Do you have a hammer extension?....whom's weight will affect the hammer strike on that firing pin? Does the stock attaching bolt impinge on your...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Maybe so. But IMO this design has issues that are easily resolved. The design simply was not made for that smaller diameter spring.....OR it needs a deeper threaded portion in that spring...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
First of all.....the two "stock" springs as found in a Henry HO15 will both exert force collectively to the same elements......i.e. the trigger and the hammer are effected by the combined force of...

I won't be near my Henry H015 until May. But I was considering what I learned when installing various spring weights.....and wish I had tried the below described tests:
As MSM said....he...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Hogwash. Your jumping to conclusions IMO. I know you mean well....but this gun is not smoke and mirrors....and these guns are no different than any other. It certainly can be corrected. ...

Will the skinner sight work with the original Henry Front sight?.....or does it need to be replaced? I really like the simplify and good looks of those skinner sights....the ones I have seem to...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Yep, for me too.
I'm not one to go off-half cocked (pardon the pun?)......but I'm fairly certain that **** stock bolt may often-times be pressing on that dumb center spring..... and thereby...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I should have taken some more time to better evaluate the relationship of the Spring Tube and the stock attachment bolt....which engages with that same tube. I think there is about 1/4" to 1/3"...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Yep. I struggled with what to call that spring "tube". It really does a couple of functions....it contains the spring and allows provides a threaded end for the attachment of the stock. I had...
