I just got a new octagon barrel Henry 22 lever action, I was so excited until I got to shoot it...
The rifle isn't feeding correctly, the bullet nose goes up above the barrel every round and gets wedged in place.
I have to use a knife or something to get the round loose and out of the gun.
This happens every time I try to chamber a round and the speed of the lever motion doesn't make any difference.
I don't see anything obvious causing the issue but this is my first lever gun so maybe I am missing something?
I may just send it back to Henry but i figured it was worth asking you guys for input before I send it back.
