But you didn't get to shoot the Henry this weekend because it was too cold?
I'm waiting for my Brownell screwdriver set to arrive before I adjust Minny. AnnieLee

I know what is happening but don't know how to fix it. A gunsmith already supposedly fixed it but it still does it. But my better half bought me a Lefever Nitro special for our anniversary, so I have another SxS until I get the Baikal fixed. I am now looking at a N. R. Davis mule-ear. I have some money left over from selling guns to buy the Henry. SlimBoth barrels at once get stylin' points. I do that a'purpose, when the stage says double tap, pulling both triggers at once (or as close as I can get). Works best with the loud smoky stuff. Cornfuses the scores though.

AnnieLeeWhat are ya goin' ta adjust on Minny?I took Henry apart for an inspection and cleaning. Yes, I have disassembly instuctions and schematic. It had a bunch of metal filings in the action. It is spankin' clean now. I even got it back together right on the first try. Slim

I just don't want to mangle the screw heads, or Manatee would mangle me! AnnieLee
Federals, and I'm almost out. But nobody within 40 miles of me carries them. I may have to switch to Winchesters. AnnieLee
<---------Thinks the inventors of single-trigger doubles ought to have been horse-whipped.
There is a reason that the English put double triggers on 99.99% of there doubles used for dangerous game. <They dont break very often and when the do only one side don't work!!!!!> "Scuse me Mr. Cape Buffalo with the bad temper, my single trigger double rifle has screwed up again. Can I make an apointment to continue this next week." One glarin' defect in the Henry, noted to Oliver Winchester was the fact that hands tended to stick to the rifle in winter and tended to get blisters from burns in the summer.
<Thwack Slim, I know you are goin' ta fix it right, but him lookin' fer Federal Primers cause Henry won't fire CCI's all the time. If one of his children was sick I hope he would find out why. >
Please make note, "No hat twackin' fer Slim. If he is bad, spread-eagle him on a wagon wheel and give him 30 lashes."
Oh, Slim don't scare me, he's already admitted he's OUT OF AMMO!!!Though I might consider thwacking him for moving this to Tall Tales, we haven't been making anything up... have we?(Except Del, he makes stuff up all the time)AnnieLee
