Parkerize it with the barrel pressed in. It's not worth the hassle head spacing and pinning again.
I had a stainless tank made 15+ years ago by a local sheet metal shop. It's 36x8x8. I've done a M1 Carbine and one AK. Both came out pretty good.
These are easy rifles to work on.
Check the gas piston and make sure it's not stuck and check the length of the recoil spring and make sure it's up to specs. As far as lube is concerned you only need a few drops here and there.
No need for special ammo either.
Post a few pics of the rifle broken...
Most likely you need to break it all down and clean up the crusty crap build up. There is a small flat Trigger spring under the trigger guard that's known to break. I have of these and had to cut, trim and fit new springs on both.
I just remembered that I accidentally doubled an order for an AR lower receiver a few years ago and packed it up when we moved. Now I'm in the process of digging through parts to see what I come up with. My spare parts will determine the outcome.
That's correct. The AR15 has been perfected for many years and one of the best platforms ever designed. Low recoil was built into the design. I do have 1 mid length that has the H2 buffer in it and it runs reliably.
What's the price on it?
I have a 9mm AR and it's reliable and fun so the Henry in 9mm is probably a non starter for me.
I'd like to see something like that in .30 Carbine or .357 but it is a pretty cool rifle
If you wanted to replace the sights you can do that and still go back to what Gpa did. The front should be pinned in place and slide off the end of the barrel and the rear slides into the dovetail
The sights are after market. The rifle probably came with type 2 or type 3 sights. I think I see a W stamped on the barrel and the finish looks original. I'd like to see what the manufacture codes are on the other parts. This rifle might be an easy restoration. It's also a later serial number.
