How to Remove Cover (Part # 02) on Henry Golden Boy .22LR (model H004). The manual is Here.

This was strangely difficult for me. Ultimately it was the picture in green below that helped me figure it out.

Here are the steps, according to the green picture:

1. Remove Inner Magazine Tube Assembly (44)
2. Remove [two] Stock Screw[s] (50)
3. Remove Stock (51)
4. Remove four Receiver Cover Screws (42)
5. Rotate Lever (14) half way
6. [Another set of instructions says to take off the Barrel Band Screw (30), Barrel Band (29) and the Forend (52), I did this, but i'm not sure it is required. Be careful, the band ended up scratching the finish on the Forend. To avoid this I pinched the top and bottom of the band to try and push out the sides a bit as i pulled it off.]
7. Lift Receiver Cover (2) about 1 inch and remove bolt (35)
8. Remove Receiver Cover (2) completely

Somehow step 1 didn’t register in my brain, but it didn’t matter for me because the instructions (all 9 steps) are for changing the lever handle. I wasn’t doing that, thus the above steps accomplished my goal.

Check and ensure your rifle is unloaded.
During dis assembly pay attention to where things are, you will need to put them back in the same manner.
Ok, now before getting started: Check and ensure your rifle is unloaded!!
1) Take of the Front Sight Hood (33).
2) Unscrew the Barrel Band Screw (30) and slide up and off of the barrel/mag tube assembly and then gently pull the Forend (52) forward and off.
3) Unscrew the Stock Screw (50) and gently pull the Buttstock assembly down and off.
4) Unscrew all 4 Cover screws (42) and carefully work the receiver (01) up, back and off of the Carrier Axle.
5) If the Bolt (35) did not come off with the cover, remove it now by working the lever all the way down and leave it down. Even if the bolt is off already work the lever down anyhow to ensure the hammer is locked back and leave the lever down.
6) Remove Lever Pin (15) and carefully work out lever (14)
7) While holding the Lock Bar (16) in place, remove Locking Bar pin (18), then remove Lock Bar (16) and Locking Bar Spring (17).
While holding Hammer (21) press trigger (19) and slowly allow hammer to go as far forward as possible.
9) Slide up and remove Hammer Guide (23) and Hammer Spring (24)
10) Remove Hammer Pin (22) and then gently slide out the Hammer (21)
11) Remove Trigger pin, Trigger (19) and Trigger Spring (20)
-Now focus on the Bolt-
A) At this point with the bolt you can remove the pins to clean or replace the extractor and ejector as well as their respective springs.
B) At this point I removed all the pins and polished everything before reassembling the bolt.
Now that everything is completely apart polish all of the following pieces until they are shiny (do not change the angles though):
- entire bolt (you only have to do the parts of the bolt that make contact with the Carrier Axle, but I do the whole thing because it looks cool shiny)
- the portions of the carrier axle that the bolt rides on.
- the portion of the receiver which the bolt (may) contact when sliding through.
- the portions of the lever that (may) contact other parts.
- the portions of the lever which rotate on other metal.
- the portions of the trigger which rotate on other metal.
- the portions of trigger that engage with the hammer.
- the hammer guide ball.
- the portions of the hammer which make contact with the trigger (I also reduced this engagement just a teeny bit, but I don’t recommend that if this is your first time doing things like this).

I have done the following with 100% success on 4 Henry’s now:
A) reduce the locking bar spring by 1.5 coils and stretched back out to correct size. (I used a set of outside calipers, I set them to correct size when the spring was stock).
B) reduced the trigger return spring by 3.5 coils and then stretched it back out to the correct size.
Lightly lube all components and then re-assemble by doing steps 1 through 11 in the opposite order.
Your lever should now be as smooth as silk and your trigger should be about a crisp 1lb
I should probably write up all the minor issues I have had with it over the time it took to get to where it is, it might be useful for someone or other… so let’s see…
1)Front site hood went Bye Bye – I always lose these things, I have a bunch of Henry’s and now any that get scoped I take the hood off and save it so I actually have some that way.
2) Around 70K rounds (wild guess there) Spring 17 got weak and the lever did not lock in the closed mode any more – I am sure this is due to the mod I make to the spring rather than any design flaw, but when you get the lever as smooth as mine is the huge click to lock in place is out of place, so I make the mod. (I will update my page with this I guess)
3) Unlike the pump the receiver of this is not blued, glossy black paint from a model shop works perfect to fix it right back up though when it gets too scratched- and it will – however I really like my textured paint I used which is hard as a rock, wish I still had the recipe I used to make that paint I tried to make something like the touch up paint for my large gun safe, maybe I will experiment with that next.
4) Twice I tried an idea I had and modified the carrier/carrier group, the best I can say after my experiments is: “don’t do that” I budgered it both times.
Refer to the owners manual for the numbered parts, hope this help you out.

I’m past stage 3, but i want to make pancakes. However, the book just says “in the book Gut and Psychology Syndrome, page 150 under “Third Stage” the ingredients listed are Organic nut butter, eggs, and a piece of fresh winter squash (marrow or courgette, peeled deseeded and well blended).

It doesn’t say how much of each item. I’ll have to post what i figure out, this post is a reminder.

Also, while researching this, i ran across a sweet website that lists recipes by stage. Though, the pancakes list ingredients that the book doesn’t so i don’t know whether or not they are compliant to the books outline. ….oh wait, its an SCD diet website, but here it is anyway http://www.pecanbread.com/new/recipes.html

I’m now on Stage 3 of the GAPS diet. As of today. So far I’ve stayed right with it. The harder parts are definitely in the first few weeks when cravings for standard delicious foods are pretty strong.

I’ve lost about 10lbs so far. Not what i’m going for, but interesting to note anyway. Its expensive, my last guess was that I’ve spent about $330 on (GAPS) food this month. Though, i suspect the number is higher, and i’ll have to do a cost breakdown later.

The improvements i’ve noticed thus far. My left knee has not been bothering me. Previous to starting the diet it was acting up a LOT and causing pain and discomfort and limiting what i could do (though i haven’t tried to do those things again since starting the diet). The pores on the upper parts of my cheeks are becoming less clogged and “disappearing”. There is still stuff there, but i think i’ll continue to see them disappear.  My lips seem to be healthier. Previous to the diet my lips were hardcore chapped. Very Very chapped. and while they are still chapped, they are noticeably less chapped.  And i think they could be better if i were more careful to drink more water throughout the day. Due to the whole “try not to drink right after eating” thing, i tend to forget to drink water. So i’d guess i drink roughly 22-30 oz a day. When before, when i was focusing on drinking plenty of water, i was drinking something around 80-100 oz a day.

Oh, and today i discovered that my Stainless Steel thermos is leaking metals/whatever into my food. I’ve located glass thermos’ and ordered those. We’ll see how they do, they should eliminate the leaking of toxins into my food problem, but they are more fragile so we’ll see. Plus the selection of glass thermos’ is very slim.

The largest “wide mouth”/food glass thermos i could find was Translucent Vacuum Food Jar (Blue) Item Number: 37205ABL. They are on clearance right now, so i’m not sure if that means they are going out of production or not.

Then for my stock/broth I found Thermos Llc 33110atri6 Translucent Beverage Bottle 35 Oz. Hopefully these turn out to be good purchases.

I’ve decided to do the GAPS Diet. I’m really excited to see how it changes things for me. There is a laundry list of possible things it could fix (the chronic fatigue/pain in my arms, for example).

Anyway, so i’m buying stuff I’ll need for this diet. I wanted to keep track of things here.

Weight

I unfortunately did not weigh myself just prior to starting the diet. But for the last six months (at least) its been inbetween 145lbs-150lbs. Plus my methodology for weighing myself has not really been thought out. right now i’m thinking maybe its best to weigh myself in the morning just after waking up.

March 4th – 141.2 lbs
March 7th – 139.2 lbs
March 9th – 138.6lbs
March 10th – 137.8lbs
March 13th – 136.4lbs

Last Thursday, the 25th, while driving back from Draper Utah Suzy began shaking and not wanting to accelerate while I was on the freeway. I was going about 65mph and in 5th gear. Construction made it impossible for me to immediately pull over. I did my best to coast until I was able to pull to the side of the road.

Luckily my insurance provides roadside assistance. Its a very handy feature to have.

The mechanic didn’t have my paperwork when I talked to him today, so he was pulling stuff from memory. But he said that one of the coils in my set of four is bad. Those will need to be replaced. My spark plugs and wires will need to be replaced. And I’m having them replace the OBD2 port interface (the end piece) as the connection cuts out sporadically.

I’m saddened that Suzy has not been feeling well, and that I didn’t get her into the mechanic sooner. At this point the repairs are guestemated to be roughly $400. We’ll see tomorrow.

Note to self: Backed up Silo II. Backed up to 1tb internal drive in pc.

Its pretty simple. Use this link ( http://db.tt/1FQ0Xxo ) when you sign up for DropBox.com and it will give you an extra 250MB on top of the 2GB that is provided for free.

Drop Box (found here)  is pretty sweet. It takes all the files that you place in a regular file on your computer and puts them in a private place on the web and they can even sync it to your Android, iPhone, Blackberry or other mobile device. Its better than having to haul around a memory stick (though I do that too) because its always there as long as you have an internet connection.

PS. this gives me an extra 250mb as well, so that is why I want you to use my link: http://db.tt/1FQ0Xxo

I probably started consistently sleeping in Spanish Fork on the 22nd-ish.

I called the irs and spoke with employee 1000161548 at 10:30am (on hold until 10:55am). She confirmed 2009 taxes are resolved. She was unable to confirm 2010, but said to call back in 3 weeks.
