My Henry Big Boy 44 magnum, is locked open.

[Iron Worker]

Out shooting today, my Henry Big Boy locked open upon ejection of the last round I fired. And a live round is stuck in the tubular magazine. I took out the tubular magazine thing and dumped the remaining rounds in the tube, but one was stuck in it. I bought it from Cabelas last August; I've fired maybe 150 rounds through it with no problems. I wonder if Cabelas would give me a refund?

Unlikely. Can you post pics?

Call the manufacturer. I heard good things about their CS.

I had this happen to a pre64 Winchester 30-30 many years ago, I can’t remember how we got it free but after we did it never did it again

I don't know anyone that will give refunds on rifles-- contact Henry and I bet they will send you a prepaid shipping label or a local smith to look at it

Henry will fix it.sent back a lever.308 that wouldn't eject. Had it back in three weeks

How you ship a rifle with a live round in the magazine is another question for Henry.

My daughter just jammed up my 44 mag when she got herky jerky on the lever unloading after a hunt...... a live round was stuck in no man's land under the loading lifter but out of the tube. Is this what you have going on?
It's a winchester, so I removed the tube spring and guided the shell back into the tube with a skinny pick.......it took a bit of work and patience to get out.

The trigger group screw underneath the action in front of the lever backed out under firing ( Gunsmith pointed this out), But to remove the live round in the tubular magazine, he needed to take it APART??? I think he's just trying to squeeze some extra cash out of me. I don't know why at the factory they couldn't have applied some lock tight on the screw?

 

[victor3ranger]

So you were able to get it fixed??

 

[Iron Worker]

It's at the gunsmith’s shop

My Henry 44 has done this a couple times. It happens when I work the lever slowly, if i work it fast- no problems.
I just take the gun apart to unjam it.

 

[Iron Worker]

Dang it, I should've done that. What exactly is jamming it? The Trigger group looks like it is back out. Well, Gunsmith still has it.
