Nothing personal But to disspell the fake new its Pork Roll... I actually think there was a court ruling on this. https://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/06/results_of_our_great_pork_roll_vs_taylor_ham_battle_divide_nj.html

Not I, I took the ffl oath

Agree Agree on the 200 rounds not enough to cause kaboom I also agree it did not Explode.. it opened up... there is a difference. the idea that 2 seperate events caused this does make sense. 1 crack opened up as he continued to shoot it deformed the barrel crown which might have cause the last few rounds to hit the barrel since it was height wise from the opening of the crack... it did make the barrel shorting in height it appears that way form what i can see 1. it did not Explode. 2. If it was not a squib and just a crack and opened due to pressure it might not be that noticeable when shooting it. 3. When using hearing protection its not as easy to notice slight differences in shooting (unless using electronic hearing protection) 4. He never mentioned anything about accuracy going down... The accuracy difference might not have been that great depending on his ability and distance from the target.

valid point... but it very well might have happened on his last tube of ammo. (again assuming the owner is telling me exactly how it happened). Is it likely he shot the ammo out then when empty just put away without opening the tube end based on racking the lever and no more ammo... its very possible. also i ask myself why would he not tell me the truth.... if i just purchased a rifle and put 200 round in it and the barrel exploded i would certainly not be shy from saying so.

actually the question is....Is that a bulge or just deformation from the crack opening. If you cut 1" of a barrel and force that crack open it will appear to bulge. also take note i find it interesting that it cracked and deformed at exactly the point where the dovetail was cut... not before or after it.. directly where it was cut (closest to the receiver) and dead center length wise in the dove tail. another thing i noticed was the tube itself that is below the barrel. The knurled nut shows zero damage only slight blacked line from powder... If it were a squib or obstruction that caused a barrel to crack and bulge would there not be forces coming out of that crack to atleast show some damage or scratches or dents or anything.... it almost seems like it was progressive and only gas and power exiting the crack.

I think whatever the cause henry will fix it. They are a solid company with amazing support .... I think in the end they will make it right.

Alleged obstruction If it was not an explosive thing and more a little by little opening then it might be able to happen without noticing.

also steering away from the squib would be the very evenness of both cracks. Both are perfectly straight

I will say. looking at the depth of the dovetail compared to the thickness of the barrel... the dove tail really took off the meat on this thing... might have been a bad dovetail cut... just a bit to deep.

Tagged Henry who? The Manufacture?

Its both a Bulge and a Crack that starts at the dove tail... in fact the crack running down the length split the dovetail in two then stopped and the rest of the barrel is normal.

I think its blood Hey 200 rounds... im only relying the info i get LOL

Internal Crack that follows this red line exactly Its actually the sides, top looks 100% true

It seems the internal crack run right along the line where the dovetail was created.

New Pics I think he was in VP of Barrel Manufacturing and let go.

Put 200 rounds in total through the gun, cleaned the first time.... took out again.... went to clean before going out for 3rd time and noticed it.... Would not think lead fouling would be an issue on such a low round count. ill see if i can get better pics.

Those of you who think it was not a squib and just metal failure... can you explain this a bit more... At this point im not doubting anything... Squib, Metal Failure etc etc just curious as to why you came to that conclusion... Conversation is a good thing.... and we are keeping on topic

I do have the gun. Maybe alex was right LOL

Spoke to customer... Did not notice any strange sounds when shooting IE projectile that did not leave the rifle or Pop that was quieter or sound of 2 projectiles hitting each other. I would assume that would be quite noticeable. Ammo was federal,Herters and Fiocchi. I doubt he stuck it in the mud BUT i agree that would cause a problem

I'm curious. if there was a hair line crack in the end of the barrel would the gas pressures from shooting actually open it up to that degree...... I guess well have to see what henry says... Customer says he did not even notice till he was taking the rifle out for the 3rdtime and was going to clean it first.

I'm not sure it was a Squib... Strange where it happened... Seems the rest of the barrel is perfect... a Squib would have needed to stop right at the point where the dovetail was as thats where the spit starts.

Federal Ammo

Wonder how Henry Handles that when it comes to Warranty
