Replacing the firing pin in a Henry lever-action rifle is a straightforward process. Here are the general steps you can follow:
- Safety First: Ensure the rifle is unloaded and the chamber is empty.
- Disassemble the Bolt: Remove the bolt from the rifle. Some models may have a retaining pin that needs to be tapped out.
- Remove the Old Firing Pin: Carefully tap out the retaining pin that holds the firing pin in place. Be cautious of the firing pin spring.
- Replace with the New Firing Pin: Insert the new firing pin and spring into the bolt.
- Secure the Firing Pin: Reinsert the retaining pin to secure the firing pin in place.
- Reassemble the Bolt: Put the bolt back together and reattach it to the rifle.
- Test the Rifle: Confirm that the firing pin functions properly by cycling the action and dry-firing (without live ammunition).
Remember to consult your specific rifleās manual or exploded parts diagram for detailed instructions.
Always prioritize safety and take your time during the process!
