Thanks! Took me a second to figure out how to put the extractor back as I couldn't see it in the vid. I have the exact same rifle. First lever action. I was afraid I was going to screw it all up. I didn't, thanks to you.
Just got myself a Henry 410 Axe for my birthday. Absolutely love it. It's my 1st lever gun and for sure not my last. This video cleared up my confusion on how to clean it. Now she's clean as new and ready for the range again. If you ever get the chance, get one. The 410 Axe with rifled slugs is awesome to shoot. Lower recoil than you expect and very accurate for a smooth bore.
Great job! When I got my Henry BB 357, it didn’t come with any cleaning details, and I viewed other vids that said to pull all bolts and drop the lever and trigger to get the bolt out. The tension bolt was a booger to get back lined up putting it back together. You tip on just pulling 1 bolt for the lever and toggling the hammer to slip the bolt out was pure gold. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the video. I have a Henry Big Boy in 357 magnum that I put 3,000 rounds through that I never took apart because the manual said you don’t need to. I broke the firing pin and was forced to take it apart. This vid helped
It's really unlike Henry to tell you that you don't need to take down the rifle for cleaning..how else are gonna get to clean those tight spots..I'm happy this helped you out.
I just bought a Henry long ranger 308 magazine fed. The manual says to not take it apart for for cleaning because it is a specialized finely fitted mechanism. Says to use a pull through type cleaning rod so you don’t push dirt back into the chamber and action. Also that just wiping out the action and cleaning the barrel is enough to keep it operating properly. We’ll see how that goes
One of the best explanations of how to clean a Henry on the interwebs…it’s just too bad you can’t see anything because your camera angles are all screwed up and about 60% of the work happens off camera…lol. Still found it very valuable…that’s how good you are at explaining things!!!!!
I never pull the cleaning tool back towards the receiver. Good way to pull debris back into the receiver end. I always go one way in and out the end of the barrel, every time.
as i demonstrate i took meticuous attention to detail when cleaning the reciever, even when cleaning rear to front it all comes out in the end my concern is more to save the barrel crown. thanks for watching.
Glad to see another perspective. I have a Big Boy and the manual as well as videos at the time advised a tear down. All I can see from that point is sooner or later the stock screws will become loose. I use a bore snake and every 500 rounds I'll do a more complete clean. All of my firearms are cleaned after returning from the range.
Such beautiful rifles, I have one in .357 / .38 Sp which is the Big Boy Carbine with hex barrel and the big loop handle. It is such a joy to shoot just plain iron sights. I plan on at least two more Henry rifles not sure which yet and they are expensive but of such quality it is worth it. .
@@Ford360CID Haven't heard about that, not sure which rifle you are speaking of ... the one I own? Mine is the Big Boy Carbine in brass without side loading gate which doesn't bother me using it for plinking. I have a 1976 Marlin 336C in .30-30 for "hunting".
Finally someone else that: SAVES OLD TOOTHBRUSHES & T-SHIRTS to Clean their match FIREARMS PS USE THAT FLITZ IN YOUR BORE THEN DRY PATCH IT, HOPPES THEN DRY PATCH TIL CLEAN! You'll be a Amazed!
Thanks for the video. I am kinda just learning how to clean my rifles. As i just got some. So, i would like to keep them for years or as long as i am living.
@@Ford360CID the one that I got yesterday. It will be my fifth lever. I started looking at them years ago and thinking about the ok cowboy days. I even bought a scope to put on one. But it will take away from the cowboy look. So, I will put it on another one that I have. Yes, some people are right. Henry rifles are kinda expensive. But they are made in America. I will pay more for something that is made here.
Dude you're killing me with that screwdriver being rolled underneath the stock! Ahhhhhh! Lol. Just kidding. Nice video! I do also just go from the breach end one way through , remove the patch and use a clean one coming back, but that's just me. To each his own.
Thank you for the video. I just got the brass receiver version, and want to take good care of it. I've got a Otis cable pull cleaning kit coming, but plan to take the bolt out as you did to use a rod every 4th or 5th cleaning. Like you say, it's a good chance to inspect and lube the bolt.
rob why go half way on the cleaning when the henrys can be cleaned efficiently as a bolt action im glad my video helped you make a good cleaning choice.
Any links on bolt disassembly. My 9 year old big boy 45c started having ejection issues. Called Henry, no help… nothing on net …… I field strip and clean after each use. But bolt had obvious carbon build up I couldn’t get at ( extractor etc ). Needs disassembly …..or chemical cleaning ? Any suggestions ? Thanks
Excellent! I didn't actually see you drop the ejector into the slot...or did I miss that? [I'm a newbie and def want to get THAT right!] Thanks so much~~~ Now, I think that I really need to get the .357 w/ the side-gate. Stuck between the Round barrel or Octagon......Choices/Choices~~~ ;-)
Thank you for the video all the others on the Henry show taking the hole gun apart, glad to see you can do it the same as a marlin 444 . I think I will get the case hardened carbine now I know it is easy to clean and you do not have to take the hole gun apart to clean. I love my 444 marlin, but do not like the 1-38 twist of the 44 mag 1894 or the action of the 1894 wish marlin still made a 44 mag in the 336 platform. The only thing I wish Henry made a 44 mag carbine with a loading gate. But will take it over the 1894 and 1-38 twist.
i had several request for the ejector reassembly but working the camera alone made it difficult to do, im gonna do a another henry video soon and i will include that in as well. thanks for watching
I just bought a Henry 45-70 X and mine it has like a knob on the rear bottom of the bolt which touches the hammer making it stall when closing the action. Now, is this normal or can I take that "knob" off so I can have a smooth working action?
You did great job, I am glad to see, that cleaning Henry rifle is as easy as cleaning Marlin. Finally I got good argument to buy Henry - because full dissasembly cleaning was quite discouraging.
Didn't even wipe the cleaning rod after it falls on the ground.. Shoved it straight back in there! Good video, basic clean. Not really a fan of running the cleaning cloth forwards then backwards, new pad each time it comes out the end of the barrel. Each to their own though. Thanks for posting.
Hey thanks for the video, just got a Henry 357/38spl and wanted to clean and lube it before I took it to the range. Question for you please - Do you use the Flitz paste on the gun metal also. My Henry is a Big Boy Classic and has the brass barrel band, brass receiver and brass tubular magazine.
Heard of it plenty, unlike other UA-cam publishers they use professional grip personnel to do their videos, everything I do comes out of my pocket, no sponsorship, no donations, no camera assistance or assistant, no fancy studio where the Iighting is the best...no sir I do an honest job without any help..so yes I've heard of camera angles and light..what about it?
i dont live there any more, now my yard is have the size but decent but i like my new garage/man cave its more bigger i'll be doing my video's in there and my master bedroom. thanks for watching.
@@BigLisaFan that’s good practice to keep, but outdated. Gun powder is much cleaner now and you really only need to clean your guns after every 3 trips to the range or depending on how much you shoot after 500 or so rounds.
@@bsh0718 I was taught in the military, that when finished shooting, first thing you do was clean your rifle then you can eat. That has carried on to my personal life. Shoot, clean, ready for next time.
I got a cleaning patch (cut up t shirt square) stuck in mag tube right in the action where a new round would be feeding into chamber. Any advice how to get it out?
@@Ford360CID i guess that's my question. Do you think I'll need to disassemble from lever and forend? The lever and stock? All 3? Or just from the lever
@@Ford360CID also I've never broke the rifle down or any lever action actually. It was my first day getting it home and went to clean it and bam. I knew it was going to happen and still did it anyways. Dumb i know
@@Tread505 this is not uncommon especially with lever guns unlike bolt actions so dont feel like it was a rookie mistake this is all part of the learning process of the differences in rifle actions and types, and how to go about cleaning them with the correct jag types, let me know how it goes.
lead bullets 4 life thanks! Really looking forward to sending a few rounds downrange with this one! It's the 45-70 AW. Love the nickel plated finish and was really impressed with the smooth action.
Yes made in America or not at all. Wearing my Henry hat and drinking from my Henry mug. Have too lock my door now with my Henry keychain. This is Rich leaving Donna Donna. Who me I'm not a Henry fanboy, much!!
Does anyone else have issues unscrewing the initial screw for the tension on the lever? It's the first time cleaning my new H009 and I can't get the screw undone!
@@pitman0001 I definitely marred the screw a little, but it's just some scratching and hasn't stripped. I'm not sure if I should just bring it to a local shop or keep trying.
Ugh, not so easy with an Evil Roy as this one. 5 screws to get the cover off, and then I guess that's how to get to the lever screw to remove it. I'll keep looking until I find one for Evil Roy cleaning. The Henry in this video is similar to the Marlin, very easy to clean compared to mine.
@@Ford360CID I did find one on the Evil Roy type rifles. Remove the stock screw and stock, then the 4 cover screws and slide the cover back and then the bolt comes off. Got mine all pulled apart, including the firing pin and extractors and got it all nice and clean and put back together. If you haven't done one yet, show how the bolt is taken apart and cleaned, especially on the rimfire. Pretty interesting setup. A lot of carbon builds up under the kicker pin and can cause jams if not cleaned regularly.
thank you for comment Robert, the ammunition i use is a cast bullet with a soft home made lube and velocities are under 1000 fps so the soft lube leaves a wax residue each time the bullet is fired and the next round has the benefit of the round before it acting as a self cleaning barrel,in my part 2 video i use a dry patch to remove the residue out of the barrel i fired 200 lubed cast bullets before making the video and the barrel looked like it hadnt been fired...so to answer your question it would depend alot on the type ammo your firing such as jacketed ammo those you can shoot all day my recommendation is to look down the bore every 50 rounds to see if you have any heavy fouling or every range session after you get home.
@@roberttsang6595 i love my lever's i also have the #0001 and the golden boy .22lr i want to also show case those 2 soon as well, i look at these lever guns and they were once the m-16's of the past warfare i would love to get another henry with new side loading gate in either .44 or 45 long colt.
Yeah I have tried but it does not. I called Henry and they told me it can not come apart like that. Maybe has to do with year of manufacturing. Oh well I guess, would be a lot more convenient to clean.
i just saw a disassembly video on the henry big boy, by gerry beathard and you were right you pretty much have to remove a lot more parts before you can remove the bolt.
on your bolt you have an extractor claw which grabs the rim of the shell and it aids in pulling the spent shell out... on the left side of your reciever you have a piece of metal that protrudes forward when the left side of your spent casing hits this protruding piece of metal it forces the spent case to turn in the right direction and out of the gun...a very simple device.
You really don't want to go back and forth you just bring all that grime back into the breach where it is even more difficult to clean. So how you ask then. Use your imagination.
Contrary to popular belief, One can clean a lever gun Without disassembly. Just be careful of the crown.. Use a good rod and clean from the bore end down. Full cleaning can be done every couple of months...
Yeah, I use a bore snake which can be inserted without taking anything apart. 1 or 2 pulls with solvent, 1 or 2 dry, and it's good as new! For cleaning the chamber one can use a q-tip, then wipe everything down with a pre-oiled gun cloth and you're done. The full cleaning can be done when you want to make love to the rifle. Not literally of course. That would be weird and disturbing. Edit: I misread your comment. I would advise against sticking anything from the bore end. A good bore snake is 10 bucks and does the job better anyways.
You use a soft towel to protect your rifle, but man you are clumsy, your stock sitting on your screw deiver, banging about your barrel etc etc. Apart from that, not a bad video.
Congratulations on your new purchase you're going to enjoy it like it was just a regular Centerfire rifle Smooth Bore it don't matter it's a lever action that's what matters.
The last part of the video-about reassembly-goes much too quickly. You need to be much more careful in showing replacing the extractor and inserting the bolt.
I appreciate your effort, but watching you bash the gun around, and not move the lever screw safely out of the way, was too much. Also you can get nylon bristle bore brushes.
yes! but there was no editing like some others cleaning and firearm and handling video's that hide their mistakes and not put it in real time, there alot you don't see in other cleaning videos where others drop tools scratch the blueing or even drop the gun because long guns are well! long and clumsy, have a great rainy sunday and thanks 4 watching.
Very poorly done as I find the ejection spring replacement not even mentioned in your reassembly. It’s the most important part of the reassembly, the hardest to get to an understand and you just skipped right over it. I would not recommend you for your skills to anyone based on this. Took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I did it on my own with no help from you..
After years and years of wearing out my thumb loading my Marlins I bought a Henry and prefer the tube. I just bought another Henry in 45-70. Of course I shoot every weekend and reload ammunition. Sometimes I shoot two to three times a week to include lever actions. You don’t shoot enough if you haven’t worn out your thumb or cut it on those stuff sharp loading gates. I’ll take the tube all day long!
Your Henry manual will tell you how to clean your rifle/shotgun better than this guy and will specifically tell you not to use a rod nor pull back and forth from the barrel to the breach with the rod. Use the appropriate caliber bore snake
not quite that simple with levers there a lot of channels that need to be cleaned and lubed to keep hidden moisture out not to rust out and the brass needs to be polished regularly finger prints and moisture will eat at that brass tube.
@@Ford360CID If we lived in Viet Nam where the humidity was 100% rust might be an issue.....it wasn't an issue for the cowboys in 1880, especially with the complex Winchesters that can't be taken apart and cleaned. This isn't Marine boot camp here!!!
@@chadhaire1711 then i would say ( improvise over come and adapt like a true marine would.) nothing is out of reach with humidity whether in a safe or on a wall mounted rifle rack get the lead out and keep your weapons well lubed and oiled.
@@Ford360CID I knew it..a jarhead!!!! My Glock and GI 1911 1917 US Army issue has only been cleaned twice in 20 years....and NO lube..just a drop of oil on a rag for a wipedown! TRUE combat guns...

@@Tread505 this is not uncommon especially with lever guns unlike bolt actions so dont feel like it was a rookie mistake this is all part of the learning process of the differences in rifle actions and types, and how to go about cleaning them with the correct jag types, let me know how it goes.
Amazing its like this is the first time this guy is cleaning a gun, amazing!!
Never showed how to put the ejector back in!!!!
check out 13:30 minutes
A little tricky but just do the process in reverse...
That was the biggest bitch to figure out ...
Honestly looks like a "Marlin" style action
@@tjmooremusic Do the process you can't see him do in reverse, great suggestion.
Thanks. Great video
CPOTuggs Thanks you for watching
What caliber is your Henry? I have a 45-70 that I just got and was looking for cleaning tips!
Thanks for sharing!
its the henry steel .357/38spl and i love it when i shoot target lead loads at 50 yards all in the black, i have that video coming up soon.
lead bullets 4 life thanks! Really looking forward to sending a few rounds downrange with this one!
It's the 45-70 AW. Love the nickel plated finish and was really impressed with the smooth action.
remember!! if its not made in america then its not made at all!!!!
lead bullets 4 life you are right!! This is a quality rifle!
Yes made in America or not at all. Wearing my Henry hat and drinking from my Henry mug. Have too lock my door now with my Henry keychain. This is Rich leaving Donna Donna. Who me I'm not a Henry fanboy, much!!
Thank you
@gustavoaramirez9673 I have a pt 2 video with more clarity
Nice angle
What is a high pressure sigh? Were do you look for that, what parts? Thanks
Bulged cases bright spots on your ejected cases glattened or pierced primers
Does anyone else have issues unscrewing the initial screw for the tension on the lever? It's the first time cleaning my new H009 and I can't get the screw undone!
It's sticky the first time you unscrew it. Careful not to strip!
@@pitman0001 I definitely marred the screw a little, but it's just some scratching and hasn't stripped. I'm not sure if I should just bring it to a local shop or keep trying.
Have you tried the Lewis lead remover system to remove the lead or a chore boy wrapped around a brush to remove lead?
i just bought one of those on ebay for 21$ for the 9mm/38spl.
Ugh, not so easy with an Evil Roy as this one. 5 screws to get the cover off, and then I guess that's how to get to the lever screw to remove it. I'll keep looking until I find one for Evil Roy cleaning. The Henry in this video is similar to the Marlin, very easy to clean compared to mine.
Yes they can be a cinch or troublesome
@@Ford360CID I did find one on the Evil Roy type rifles. Remove the stock screw and stock, then the 4 cover screws and slide the cover back and then the bolt comes off. Got mine all pulled apart, including the firing pin and extractors and got it all nice and clean and put back together. If you haven't done one yet, show how the bolt is taken apart and cleaned, especially on the rimfire. Pretty interesting setup. A lot of carbon builds up under the kicker pin and can cause jams if not cleaned regularly.
@@acdii I'll need to do that with my Henry triple zero one
How do you remove the forestock/ hand guard? It is not intuitive.
not nessesary to remove.
@@Ford360CID unless you get caught in the rain
No bore guide?
I cringed every time I heard it....
Anyone know a video that shows you how to get your level back in if it won't seat right
Xander .357 you mean the lever, there other take down videos on that very subject.
What's the recommended cleaning after how many rounds ?
thank you for comment Robert, the ammunition i use is a cast bullet with a soft home made lube and velocities are under 1000 fps so the soft lube leaves a wax residue each time the bullet is fired and the next round has the benefit of the round before it acting as a self cleaning barrel,in my part 2 video i use a dry patch to remove the residue out of the barrel i fired 200 lubed cast bullets before making the video and the barrel looked like it hadnt been fired...so to answer your question it would depend alot on the type ammo your firing such as jacketed ammo those you can shoot all day my recommendation is to look down the bore every 50 rounds to see if you have any heavy fouling or every range session after you get home.
@@Ford360CID Thanks for your reply - The Henry BB 357 is deadly accurate and fun to shoot.
@@roberttsang6595 i love my lever's i also have the #0001 and the golden boy .22lr i want to also show case those 2 soon as well, i look at these lever guns and they were once the m-16's of the past warfare i would love to get another henry with new side loading gate in either .44 or 45 long colt.
Like the wind chimes in the back ground.
thank you sir they add a bit of ambiance to the back ground.
Funny, my cleaning method is almost identical.
theres really nothing to it!! its like cleaning a bolt gun.
I got mine in 44 win mag and there is a slight malfunction when loading the gun ! Was wondering if anyone got some similar problems with theirs
is it loading down the chamber shute or is it the racking of the lever action that starts the problem?
New friend lodi,m8

Ganyan din me ,tulungan t u
..... .... ,.,. ,.,
Yeah I have tried but it does not. I called Henry and they told me it can not come apart like that. Maybe has to do with year of manufacturing. Oh well I guess, would be a lot more convenient to clean.
this is quite interesting, it appears that not all henry lever actions are same across the board, have you tryed any other vid's on the suject?
i just saw a disassembly video on the henry big boy, by gerry beathard and you were right you pretty much have to remove a lot more parts before you can remove the bolt.
What about the pin you took out?
blackhawk2429. You place it back with a needle nose pliers or slide it in until the notch enters the hole then carefully place in your slide and viola
@@Ford360CID I see! thanks for demonstration.
What happened to the rejector?
LOOK AT 13:30
The ejector???
on your bolt you have an extractor claw which grabs the rim of the shell and it aids in pulling the spent shell out... on the left side of your reciever you have a piece of metal that protrudes forward when the left side of your spent casing hits this protruding piece of metal it forces the spent case to turn in the right direction and out of the gun...a very simple device.
or see lever action cleaning pt-2
BIG BOY!
Thank you. :-)
Ian Fenn happy to Help Thanks for watching
I have a brand new Henry Big Boy 45 colt, can't wait to shoot it, and now I can clean it with confidence. All the best.
You really don't want to go back and forth you just bring all that grime back into the breach where it is even more difficult to clean. So how you ask then. Use your imagination.
Contrary to popular belief,
One can clean a lever gun
Without disassembly.
Just be careful of the crown..
Use a good rod and clean from the bore end down.
Full cleaning can be done every couple of months...
Yeah, I use a bore snake which can be inserted without taking anything apart. 1 or 2 pulls with solvent, 1 or 2 dry, and it's good as new! For cleaning the chamber one can use a q-tip, then wipe everything down with a pre-oiled gun cloth and you're done. The full cleaning can be done when you want to make love to the rifle. Not literally of course. That would be weird and disturbing.
Edit: I misread your comment. I would advise against sticking anything from the bore end. A good bore snake is 10 bucks and does the job better anyways.
Ahhh that poor wood stock on the screwdriver
I have 2 more tear down and shooting videos on the same rifle thanks4 watching.
Just like cleaning a 336
pretty much!! thanks for watching, do you like 213gn 38spl's? watch my recent vids.
Too freaking fast! What extractor? Where...how...?
Gp to my part 2 video its more detailed
You use a soft towel to protect your rifle, but man you are clumsy, your stock sitting on your screw deiver, banging about your barrel etc etc. Apart from that, not a bad video.
Thanks for watching,.
🙂👍☕
Lousy cleaning method. To each his own.
Congratulations on your new purchase you're going to enjoy it like it was just a regular Centerfire rifle Smooth Bore it don't matter it's a lever action that's what matters.
The last part of the video-about reassembly-goes much too quickly. You need to be much more careful in showing replacing the extractor and inserting the bolt.
Try watching my part 2 its more detailed bettet yet watch my reassembly of the extractor of the 357 magnum steel video
You may know Henry rifles but not enough to teach you missed a critical step. Support had to help me recover
I appreciate your effort, but watching you bash the gun around, and not move the lever screw safely out of the way, was too much. Also you can get nylon bristle bore brushes.
yes! but there was no editing like some others cleaning and firearm and handling video's that hide their mistakes and not put it in real time, there alot you don't see in other cleaning videos where others drop tools scratch the blueing or even drop the gun because long guns are well! long and clumsy, have a great rainy sunday and thanks 4 watching.
Very poorly done as I find the ejection spring replacement not even mentioned in your reassembly. It’s the most important part of the reassembly, the hardest to get to an understand and you just skipped right over it. I would not recommend you for your skills to anyone based on this. Took me a while to figure out how to do it, but I did it on my own with no help from you..
I have a part 2 with the ejector assembly.
If it doesn't load on the side it's a no go.
EVEN THE ORIGINAL HENRYS DIDNT HAVE A SIDE LOADER EITHER.
After years and years of wearing out my thumb loading my Marlins I bought a Henry and prefer the tube. I just bought another Henry in 45-70. Of course I shoot every weekend and reload ammunition. Sometimes I shoot two to three times a week to include lever actions. You don’t shoot enough if you haven’t worn out your thumb or cut it on those stuff sharp loading gates. I’ll take the tube all day long!
Your Henry manual will tell you how to clean your rifle/shotgun better than this guy and will specifically tell you not to use a rod nor pull back and forth from the barrel to the breach with the rod. Use the appropriate caliber bore snake
NOT SO FAST KYLE YOU HAVENT SEEN MY HENRY CLEANING #2 IT'S MOST RECENT CHECK IT OUT.
Mine doesn’t do any of that. The Henry manual is worthless.
Too much work...just run a bore snake and be done
not quite that simple with levers there a lot of channels that need to be cleaned and lubed to keep hidden moisture out not to rust out and the brass needs to be polished regularly finger prints and moisture will eat at that brass tube.
@@Ford360CID If we lived in Viet Nam where the humidity was 100% rust might be an issue.....it wasn't an issue for the cowboys in 1880, especially with the complex Winchesters that can't be taken apart and cleaned.
This isn't Marine boot camp here!!!
@@chadhaire1711 then i would say ( improvise over come and adapt like a true marine would.) nothing is out of reach with humidity whether in a safe or on a wall mounted rifle rack get the lead out and keep your weapons well lubed and oiled.
@@Ford360CID I knew it..a jarhead!!!! My Glock and GI 1911 1917 US Army issue has only been cleaned twice in 20 years....and NO lube..just a drop of oil on a rag for a wipedown! TRUE combat guns...
@@chadhaire1711 close!! u.s. navy cause you said this isn't marine bootcamp i just thought you were a former marine.
Painful to watch
I have a pt 2 as well 10 minutes
