Hello. Today while shooting discovered that the spring is stuck, recessed, inside the tube. Any guidance to spring it back out? Thanks!

You might just squirt some WD-40 in there and slap it around some.

Then if it springs free after the above recommendation you need to disassemble it and clean it entirely and reassemble with only the lightest lube applied.
I recommend disassembly regardless as it is most likely full of factory left grease & debris inside - as mine was.

thanks for the tips!

I punched the pin out and then pushed the follower back out. Had to literally pound the pin to get it out and back in.

how grubby was the inside of the tube .. ..does it now work as it should ..

Yep - ya gotta be careful with this part!

One good cleaning with light (to nearly no) lube and it should be good to go for a while.

You might also want to accomplish the chamfer on the mouth of the tube as I have previously posted on and you should be problem free.

Hello all. I did clean the tube very well but the follower continued to recess when I tried to load so called Henry to see if there may be something else I could try. I haven't had the gun that long, purchased sometime last year I believe, so they are just going to send me a new one. Nice! I actually shoot my Henry Steel .30-30 more but haven't experienced any issues with it.

Thanks again for all the feedback. Mike
