Henry large loop or small loop lever?

[stevezx2]

I have had a henry .45 LC with the large loop lever for a while and is a great feeling gun. Last week I picked up a .44 mag with the small loop and I actually kind of prefer it since I don't wear gloves to shoot. It feels like a more natural movement with the shorter feeling throw.

Henry sells the large loop as an upgrade on their site, but I have been unable to locate a small loop to replace my large loop. I even sent an unanswered email to Henry to sorce one. Has anyone made the change? I've also heard about shims for the lever to take out side play. Do they actually work and keep the action smooth?

I've been working on getting my post count up, but it's not as easy as it sounds!

Apparently I'm not great at navigating gun broker as I can't seem to find them on there.

I'll try calling them today when I get a chance. I figured an email would at least get some response, but it's been over a week.

They are usually busy, but that is surprising.
You might mention your email to the customer service rep.

Search "Henry small loop" then when the results show up tap "filters" in the green box above the results and then select "rifle parts" from that menu.

Thanks guys! A 6 minute phone call is all it took and a new small loop is on its way. Very friendly customer service with a hint of a jersey accent!

Tell me about it!

50 post rule??????? i myself prefer the large loop levers

 

[Osprey]

Is the big loop that comfortable or easy to use? I've never used one with it. I'm used to the small/"standard" size loop. I would think the big loop would get in the way. It looks like it would be harder to cycle it.

If you need that large one disposed of let me know. We hunt with ours, a lot of times with gloves. And my dads favorite show was the rifleman lol
