Henry Lever Feeding Issues

[Mount Sweetness]

Has anyone every had issues with Henry rifles. I bought a .17HMR Varmint Express, 3 weeks old, only 30 rounds fired.....the rounds are no longer feeding up through the tube, they are getting jammed down in the bottom of the tube and are very difficult to get out. They will also jam when they come up through the receiver at times. I've tried 3 different kinds of ammo.
I'm looking for my money back as I don't believe this gun was designed properly for the .17HMR and should have never left the factory.
Of course, very difficult to get service on it due to repairs done in the U.S.

Anyone have Henry issues or feeding issues similar in levers?

I read a review on these rifles a short while ago. The only problem the writer had was misfeeding caused by shortstroking the lever. He said you have to be firm with the lever & the problem goes away.

Hopefully this will help you.

Sounds like the "Marllin Jam".

Never had any problem on my Henry 22... not a single jam.
You might try emailing Henry arms themselves and asking what they think about it. (Henry is known for some of the best customer service in the industry.
