Help with A Henry H001

[phsarge]

New to the gunsmith Forum. I have been being trained by my neighborhood gunsmith and have done alot of bolt action Mauser conversions and such. So here is what I am up against and needing ideas for. I am trying to take a Henry 22lr and Make it take down and possibly switch to like the 17HMR. I have found out so far that the barrel is pinned in so I need some ideas if it is even going to be possible.
Thanks in advance

If the bbl is pinned in place to make a takedown the receiver would have to be threaded much the same way winchester did their takedowns. And the bbl also set up the same way. If you can get a copy of the NRA gunsmithing guide there is a article on making a standard 94 winchester into a takedown. another way would be to make an insert for the receiver with the interuppted threads and pin and locktite that in place. And thread the bbl with the interuppted threads. The magazine tube of the 22rf henry if I remember right is loaded much the same as the marlin model 60. That is you unscrew the mag tube cap and fill it and then reassemble the cap. You may have to modify that so it will function with the takedown. Hope this helps. Frank

One could just taper the pin hole and make a tapered pin with a retension screw to keep it tight. This would be what one finds with the Stevens and later Remington rolers in the 22 rimfire caliber..
