How to disassemble your Henry Big Boy Underlever .44 magnum.
Awesome video. Glad you also mentioned potential issues that you personally faced, makes it alot more calming knowing issues that could happen
Man alive, here's me (a yank) learning how to work on my new rifle from a bloody redcoat! AHHH the irony. Okay enough revolutionary war jokes... You are correct on the dissimilar metals conjunction, as an aircraft mechanic in the Army we were taught about that. Basically - as it was explained to me - different metals have varying capacitance (electrical charge holding, sort-of). Depending on the ambient static charge (free electrons are everywhere) those "voltages" travel to-and-fro which can prompt an oxidation to occur, sort of like a short-out or burn. Well guess what rust is - oxidized metal. So that's what causes dissimilar metals corrosions. In the aircraft arena we used zinc chromate to help protect.
Happy to be of service! Thanks for the explanation as well. Good to know I'm not going completely mad 😅.
Just bought one of these. will be saving this for strip and rebuild. thanks!
Thank you for a very clear and precise video. Nice job!
Excellent! Very thorough. The Henry manual that comes with gun has almost nothing - only vaguely cleaning the barrel.
Thank you for making this video, very helpful! Cheers
Good stuff here, great tips.
Excellent video, thanks
Great info, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the vid
Can i take off the handguard without having to disassemble the rest of the gun?
Yes, you can. Remove the magazine tube (not the housing). Remove the barrel band, which you should be able to angle over the front sight with the magazine tube removed - are you can leave it hanging. Then push the handguard forward and it should slide off.
Anyone know how to remove the barrel out of the receiver? Will explain if someone is curious
How would it do against black Bear or Grizzle
Came here to see how hard it would be to change the mag tube... but cant find a replacement online... do you know where i would be able to buy one?
If you're in the UK, Marlinspares might carry Henry parts but I'm not sure, sorry!
Nice video. Is the barrel threaded into the receiver or is it a press fit?
Not sure, sorry. Unless it's something simple, like a .22 AR barrel, I leave big stuff to a gunsmith.
I have a big boy x 44. Is it necessary to field strip the entire rifle to clean it?
Depends how deeply you want to clean. I'm not sure how different the X is but for a standard big boy, if you just wanted to wipe the receiver and clean the bolt and barrel, you can remove the lever and slide the bolt out the back. Watch out for the ejector as that is only held in place by the bolt.
most firearms don’t even need deep clean until thousands of rounds and if anything mainly just the barrels need a clean, I just got the x model 45-70 packs a punch
