It's a .357. I have not shot anything but Remington factory and some light 158gr jacketed bullets loaded on the low end of with CFE pistol for Lever silhouette. The crack goes right to the front magazine slot so I was thinking it could be caused by the magazine insert could have put pressure on a sub standard barrel but that is just a wild guess.

Wow! Never seen that before. I'm sure they'll make it right but it is an inconvenience. I had my BBS .327 shipped back three times before. I've only shot it once since I got it back so hopefully it won't have to go back again.

Wow. That's a serious split and in a strange place. I have no guess as to how that might have happened. I believe Henry will make it right.

Fourth. That seems like a pattern. Hopefully, this will be the last one.

Just like on the other forum, I think that you should e-mail the big boss at H.R.A. and let him know what is going on. I think that they should send you a new rifle as four barrels is getting a bit ridiculous.

I had the mag tube tear a loose on my 44 BBB, but never seen anything like that before.

I have had to send two Henry rifles back for barrels. One 22lr that the rifling did not go to end of barrel and a 45/70 that the receiver was drilled for a scope mount off center. Skinner sight was way to right when mounted. Bore was off center also, Henry just replaced that rifle.

I only have the one Henry in 45/70 steel now it seems good to go. No problems but makes me wonder how good their process is and material being used.

May I ask how old is your rifle?

My rifle is about 2 years old. I have have given up on this rifle when I get it back from Henry I think I will just put it in my safe and let it be. I'll start looking for another rifle to shoot pistol caliber silhouette.
