Henry PSA....
Tangs,
who wadda thunk they were so damn sensitive!! Tried to make my mares leg into something a tad more useful in the bush and made a Jam'O'Matic out of the poor thing. Every time the bolt coming back would catch the top of the hammer and lock everything up. I measured between stocks and there was a .1 difference with the new stock spreading the receiver tangs a wee bit causing the bolt to catch the top of the hammer. Some chisel and dremel work and all good, but even then - just the slightest out of parallel with the tangs on the stock and the rifle would jam. Looking at the stock now, I see that I will have to shape the entire front end properly so that the top tang resides properly but at least I know that I'm not crazy..... ier or something Now to reshape / refinish everything..... I'm not impressed how deep the top receiver tang needs to be in order to make this rig function and me trust it in Grizz country.. Dirk

Strange there is such a difference between a Henry mares leg butt stock and a Henry full size butt stock.
(Some adjustments needed) As for grizz country, that is a 45-70 size, "brush gun", right? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

So . . . . . . you're manufacturing a "SBR"?

Somewhere along the line, Hollywood has bastardized "short barreled rifles", so they need close watching / licensing here in the states.
Kind of like after they did the movie where the character used a (I seem to recall) a Barrett semi auto .50 BMG rifle from inside a van to snipe people, shortly thereafter CA banned the purchase of the semi auto rifle version. Followed a few years later with banning the sale in state of the bolt action one. Because there was such an uptick of sniper killings in CA using .50 BMG rifles...
