The only thing I didn't like was the foregrip was plastic and really shakey.
Felt that wood would have been better, and it should have been attached more solidly.
Other than that, should be a dang fine rifle.
Even so, one can always upgrade to a Boyd's stock set for some serious wood
and i'd imagine that would resolve the looseness in the handle if it still occurs.
Thanks for the info, Big Shrek. I handled one at Cabela's in Gonzales, Louisiana recently, and the foregrip was wood, and it had a solid feel when pumped. Therefore, Henry must've made some improvements. I think I'm going to buy one pretty soon, and I'll let you know how I like it.
Rather than a response to the question, I would like to ask a further question about the Henry 22's. But first my experience with them.
Almost 15 years ago I saw one in a gun store and handled it. It appeared to have a zinc alloy frame covered by a highly polished outer cover. Some of the metal work was painted with overspray into the interior of the gun. Now the question:
Is this still an honest description of the Henry 22 rifles today?
And how are their current centerfire rifles made? Any Zinc alloy in them? Are they a steel alloy that is well blued or just painted?
American made is good but if it is second rate then not so good. The comparison for me is the Browning lever gun series (clone of Winchester lever guns) which are works of art, inside and out.

The receiver is painted but I believe the remainder of the gun is blued except for the stock and fore end which are made of American Walnut. But, I don't know if the painted portion is a zinc alloy or steel.
