Made In America and Priced Right
carefully use a brass punch or nylon punch, slightly pointed but having a flat point appropriate in size to
properly engage the left or right end of the sight base where it slides in the groove on the barrel. Gently tap
the dowel with a light hammer and be very careful not to mar or damag
e the barrel or sight base. To help you
determine how far you have moved the sight, right or left, a soft pencil can be used. The front edge of the rear
sight base comes to a point where it rests on the barrel. At the point of the sight base, lightly make a small
mark with the pencil and ca
rry it straight down to make a small adjoining mark on the barrel. This will show
you how far to the right or left you have moved the sight base. When your adjustments are completed, the
marks can easily be wiped off with a lightly-oiled, soft cloth. To move point of impact to the right, tap rear sight
base to the right. To move point of impact to the left, tap rear sight b
ase to the left.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HENRY LEVER RIFLE
Make certain to clean your rifle after firing. We suggest that you purchase a current, name brand, top quality
rifle cleaning kit. Make sure that the rifle is unloaded, and open the action. Using a cleaning rod with a lightly
oiled patch, run the rod from the muzzle end of the barrel down toward the breech area, cleaning the chamber.
Use a cleaning swab to remove all debris from the chamber as well as the face of the bolt and breach. It is
important to make certain that there is no debris in the chamber or on the face of the bolt and
breach. The
balance of the bolt assembly and action are maintenance free.
IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RIFLE DOES NOT COME APART FOR CLEANING AND THAT
THERE IS NO REASON TO TAKE IT APART FOR CLEANING. WARNING! DO NOT USE AGGRESSIVE
SOLVENTS SUCH AS GUN SCRUBBER. USE ONLY MILD SOLVENTS SUCH AS BREAKFREE, KLEENBORE,
HOPPES #9 or a premium quality gun oil.
