Thumbs up there!
I’ve had a Henry .22LR rifle for a couple of years now that I snagged out of a pawn shop in Mount Pleasant, MI. It’s fun, and it works, but I’ve had some feeding issues toward the end of the magazine, and it had the tendency to walk out on me every now and again.
I finally ordered up a new replacement magazine tube from them via phone on Thursday. It arrived in the mail today. It locks in much tighter, which is to be expected. My old follower stopped about 1.5″ shy of the end of the rod. I have no idea how old that magazine is*.
The new follower runs right flush to the end and it has an appendage sticking out:
Okay, that’s new. I haven’t seen anything like that before. Did the old one break off or is this something “new” that they started doing since my original was made?
*: If anybody knows how to date the rifle that’d be great. It has no model number on it that I can find and its serial number is 0810XX.
Looks like any tube feed rod I have ever seen, espcially a Marlin. May be upgrade design over your old one or the old one was damaged/modified. I’ve seen some six pack modifications in my day….trust me!
