myhatinthering 462 Posted February 22, 2019 all the handgun stuff is great but we're not talking handguns, it's a rifle and the length of the barrel would increase the effect on the pressure curve the longer out. Either way, the guy can absolutely get an answer from Henry so we'll find out soon enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most all of them are done burning powder and experiencing a pressure drop by the time they reach the end of longer barrels. They are designed to hit their specs ina 6" test fixture. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With any blockage that prevents gas expulsion, you get a spike in the curve that results in the rupture of the barrel. all that pressure doesn't dissipate like it would normally and then with non auto-loaders where you have not gas bleed off, you get pop. This was not such an occurrence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be a waste of time to go after the owner or ammunition manufacturer. They want the owner happy, so he buys another Henry.

This was not such an occurrence. OK. so in a semi auto pistol... where there is no gas bleed off until after lockup. You have a blockage and fire into it. If a blockage of a PISTOL caliber cartridge in a pistol length barrel with LESS VOLUME is only ringing the barrel on occasion, how is a rifle where a PISTOL caliber cartridge is hitting an obstruction at the far end of a much longer barrel thus with a much larger volume, you are saying the thing will dramatically explode because... reasons. I'm with your idea on rifle cartridges. A 60k psi round with powder that may still be burning by the time the bullet reaches the muzzle, yeah a barrel that isn't supposed to be sealed is dealing with some severe hardships if you follow up with a full house round after a squib.

Parker 213 Posted February 25, 2019 Here's the results of a squib in a Sig P220, shooting factory PMC 230 gr. hardball ammo. Note the bulged barrel. Shooter became evident of the problem when the slide locked back on the bulged barrel but he didn't recall the squib. The bullet lodged in the barrel from the squib was then pushed out by the next very capable fired round which resulted in the bulge. The barrel could have burst but it didn't. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

myhatinthering 462 Posted February 26, 2019 again, problem here is we are not talking about short barreled handgun. It really is apples and oranges due to the pressure curve from the bore the reason rifles go kaboom 99% of the time with a squib is because there is a spike in pressure that exceeds the initial charge and then physics takes over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please explain, sine you apparently know something special. An actually full on squib with no charge that lodges a bulled near the chamber end of things usually results in a KB in rifles and pistols. When a squib or undercharged round lodges it near the muzzle different stuff happens. But seriously. Either stop saying what is essentially nuh-uh over and over, and try to explain your reasoning. PIstol caliber round. Fast burning pistol powder. Powder is chosen to mostly be burnt up by the end of a 6" test fixture. placed in a longer rifle barrel, the powder is completely burnt before the bullet reaches the end once thta point is reached, pressure is DROPPING. The only thing changing that in a situation with a blocked barrel is the compression of the volume of air in the bore. Which is basically rounding error for most of the trip. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parker 213 Posted February 26, 2019 A squib is defined as an underpowered or no-powder load. Be it just the primer, or an underpowered powder charge that pushes the bullet or a shotshell wad part of the way down the barrel without exiting the muzzle. This scenario sets up the perfect opportunity for the next round's detonation to prove interesting for the obstruction that lies ahead. The internet calls the resulting anomaly a kaboom.

remixer 1,645 Posted March 15, 2019 It was caused by a flawed barrel, obstruction and Day Light savings time. I have no clue... i doubt they even gave it more than 30 seconds of thought.. For them to really know 100% would have cost more then replacing the barrel. I'm just pleased that henry is 1. American Made. 2. Stands Behind their product without even a question as to what happened. 3. Owned by a Brooklyn guy. 4. Based in NJ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunnz 49 Posted April 14, 2019 Find out the issue yet with this Henry? went to the range last night and had a problems with trigger screw walking out on my Henry big boy. Every time I cycled the gun fast the trigger screw would become loose. wonder if their quality is going downhill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunnz 49 Posted April 14, 2019 I have a big boy in 357. Color case hardened steel.... beautiful gun. It has a custom serial number also. got it last May, ran 50 slow rounds through it perfectly. Ran another 50-100 last night, but a lot quicker, and the hammer screw started to walk out, about an 8th of an inch before I noticed it. after tightening it , I checked after every tube, and it was looser every time and needed to be screwed back in tight.

tony357 386 Posted April 14, 2019 Blue Loctite. medium strength. Easy to find. purple would be better on screw but I don't think you will find it locally will probably have to order VIA the net. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
