I hope there aren’t more people showing bad safety practices. I’ve seen several ! Not just lever gun videos! These RU-vidrs need to really asses what they are putting out . Thanks for your comment buddy!
Amen brother Mike we all need to be reminded of safety. At work will back in the old days, we had safety meetings every morning or nights but before we went to work, same for handling guns. The most times accidents happen are on things we do all the time and get lax in our thinking. Good to remember. Have a safe and blessed day 🙏
Very good safety advice. I'm all for safety and help with anything. Like you, somebody else may see something to help us, but if they don't tell us, we could get hurt or killed! Thanks for taking the time for sharing this.
Man i got a “all weather” 30-30. Shoots a foot high with the irons as low as they will go. Front sight just fell out of the dove tail in the boat one day. If you even touch the lever wrong it’ll half eject a shell from the magazine. Basically the worst thousand dollars i ever spent.
Thank you very much for a wonderful video mike. I have a great friend here in upstate new York who has 2 business. He always says safety first. It doesn't matter if you want to pull tractors or go shooting. Safety must be learned. 3x
Thanks for the awesome content cornbread! I wish more people would practice gun safety and maintenance. One of the scariest things is a “fool” with a firearm! You can never practice too much! Look forward to more videos my friend…by the way I wear an extra large !
I’ve seen parents at the county rifle range asked to leave by the game warden because their children were handling guns in an unsafe way and the parents not correcting them. Safety starts when you start shooting no matter what age ! Thanks for the comment buddy!
Great video and information. Safety with firearms should be number 1 training to children. That is how I did it with my boys!! I had a young man that went rifle deer hunting with us. He was using a 30-30 rifle, that he knew nothing about. I was walking first, he was behind me carrying his rifle in his hand, Jerod was walking behind him and noticed that his rifle was cocked! He told the young man that he needed to stop and point his rifle to the ground and slowly release the hammer! When I heard this I knew right then I didn’t want to be hunting with him! We explained to him about always making sure the rifle was carried in a safe manner and either a safety was engaged or the hammer was down. I can’t stand it when people whom have never hunted, never owned a firearm of any kind buys one and buys a box of ammo and goes to the woods to hunt without ever learning anything about firearm safety and how their firearm works!! Again, Mike, great video!! Juddie - J & J TOA
I hear ya Juddie! My brother in law brought a guy with him on a party dog bear hunt. The guy was standing on a service road where we thought the dogs would push a bear out of a clear cut. The guy shot twice but we couldn’t find any blood or hair. While trying to figure out where the bear was standing when he shot, he said he was basically moving at some brush moving! He was nicely told to leave. Thanks for your comment. Buddy.
@@Hunting4Hookers that is the one thing I told my sons that you know what your shooting at and what is beyond. You never shoot at movement in brush or that you don’t know what is beyond your target.
There is nothing CHILDISH ABOUT GUN SAFETY. Great Content. Keep up the good work you earned yourself another subscriber. One of the reasons I have a live to be 68 years old it’s because I take gun safety very seriously and I do not mess around when it comes to Correcting those who need to be corrected. My 87yr old dad is missing 50% of his Lower right leg Because when he was 16 years old hunting with his friend behind him on a narrow trail his friend tripped and shot my dad’s leg with 12 gauge turkey load. My dad‘s life was saved that day buy a conservation officer who just happened to be in the woods and Got my dad, immediate medical attention. Although they did not save 50% of his leg. Perhaps that is why I don’t care when people get offended because I correct them Immediately, if they are being Careless with a firearm. Stay safe and healthy. 🇺🇸
Thank you! I’m sorry for getting back so late! I just found out there is a spam folder for unanswered comments in RU-vid studio. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! It helps a lot, and I greatly appreciate it!
I'm right there with you. I've wanted a Henry for a very long time, but they have been hard to get. Last Thursday night my LGS let me know they had a line on a few. I was on the fence between a Mares Leg and a rifle. I knew the rifle was more functional but the Mares Leg had that uniqueness going for it. By the time I got there the Mares Leg was sold, decision made. While doing some research I noticed it right off and was surprised to see these big (1M+ subs) RU-vid experts putting there hand over the muzzle while opening and closing the tube out in the field. Glad I found you, now subscribed. BTW, I pick up my Big Boy .44 brass with a side gate and 20" octagonal barrel on Monday. 😁 3X
That’s awesome! You should throw me an update after you get some ammo down the pipe! I’d love to hear about it! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it!
I don't disagree, no reason to top it off. Also best to keep the trigger down. Just a note, I believe that rifle has a crossbar safety, and cannot discharge unless the trigger us depressed. Good points by you.
I have a henry big boy, 357-38special. There is NOT a cross bar safety on my Henry lever action. Your safety of that gun is DO NOT cock the hammer 🔨 till you are ready to shoot the rifle. Hope this was helpful. I’m 68yrs and been around guns since I was 12yrs young. Seen my share of accidents n close calls. SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT. STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. 😎🇺🇸
Perhaps a problem with terms, IDK? I have always called the safety like on my 1986 Marlin 336 a "Cross Bolt". BTW, I believe they added it in 1983 making the model a "336CS". It's also on my Winchester Model 12, Ruger 10/22 and others. Remington put the cross-bolt behind the trigger on my 870. I've heard some call the Henry safety a "Hammer Block" which would make it similar to a S&W or Colt revolver (one sliding and one pivoting). But I think it is a "Transfer Bar" system more like a Ruger revolver. Maybe I'm wrong or it's just semantics. Copied from an American Rifleman article; "... but to make sure I was on the right track I discussed it with Peter Etlicher who is the senior design engineer at Henry Repeating Arms. To begin, the hammer does not have a half-cock position. With the hammer cocked, pulling the trigger cams a steel transfer bar upward into a vertical slot in the face of the hammer. As the hammer speeds forward, the bar remains in position to transfer the blow from the hammer to the firing pin as long as the trigger is held back. If the trigger is released just as the hammer is manually moved forward, the transfer bar drops to its lowered position and the hammer is unable to make contact with the firing pin. If the trigger is held back while the hammer is being carefully lowered to its full-forward position, the transfer bar remains in its elevated position and will contact the firing pin. But since the firing pin is inertia-driven, it should not be long enough to make contact with the primer of a chambered round. Releasing the trigger at this point allows the transfer bar to drop to its safe position. In addition, a trigger block prevents the trigger from being pulled until the finger lever is completely closed." Sorry about the run on.
@@BowWowPewPewCQ Henry does have an internal hammer block. It is in place to keep the hammer off the mechanism / firing pin when it’s “un-cocked”. There is no safety like that on the later Marlin rifles . The Marlin safety requires you to set and release it with the “red is dead” button. The Henry is internal and automatic. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Have a blessed day!
You can say that again! Firearm safety is something you can’t ignore and then say “sorry” when something goes wrong. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment buddy!
