Wasn't sure if this should be here or in the lever action section but thought gunsmithing made sense.
So I bought a Uberti-made Henry 1860 for not all that much money but it is an engraved one so I'm quite fond of it. It had some trouble feeding rounds so I sent it to a gunsmith to look at and they said:
"the bolt does not go far enough forward to engage the extractor or completely close on the cartridge face. Being a 44/40 which is a low pressure round it is ok to fire and once fired the round do eject as the firing forces the cartridge back slightly taking up the play. If you put a round in and do not fire it it will not extract it."
I have shot it and there are no signs of excess pressure and the rifle seems to shoot very accurately it just won't extract unfired rounds which is not ideal. Has anyone had this sort of experience? The gunsmith said that some new links could be made to push the bolt a tiny bit further forward to fix the problem but that sounds like it might be difficult and expensive. Not sure whether to make it a wall hangar or not.
