They are designed differently from other lever guns in that what appears to be the receiver is really a carrier for an internal receiver. The serial number, which must be on the receiver, will be found on the lower portion of the actual receiver in the wrist of the stock (where the lever rests with the action closed). When I first got it, now and then the extractor would slip off of a cartridge rim. I inspected it and found that the design of the receiver/carrier resulted in just a little excess play that would allow the bolt to move enough to the right so that the extractor would slip off. I placed a very thin shim inside the carrier on the right side of the bolt to keep the bolt to the left. That stopped the problem, at least with .22 LR ammo. Aguila Super Kolibri will still do it now and then, but they will also do it in other guns.
I wanted to modify the front sight by installing a tiny white bead on the face of the sight. I wrote Henry and asked about buying an extra one for this purpose and they sent one along for free. (I have used the modified sight to good effect many times, since the white bead stands out so much better than the black blade.) I know I could send the rifle back to them and have the issue with the extractor fixed properly, but it is working fine and I don't want to be bothered with the shipping, etc.
From all accounts, their customer service is second to none. I don't see how they can build such a high quality product for the price. I am thinking about getting one of their .22 pump action rifles.
BAYONNE, N.J., Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Henry Repeating Arms, one of the leading firearms manufacturers in the United States announced that it has manufactured the one-millionth Lever Action .22 rifle- known as the model H001. As with all Henry firearms and any product that bears the Henry name, it is made in America and sold in over 30 countries worldwide.
The first Henry Lever Action .22 rifles started shipping in March of 1997 from their original factory in Brooklyn, New York. The model was introduced with the corporate motto, 'Made in America and Priced Right.' The company moved production in September of 2008 to their current 110,000 sq. ft. facility in Bayonne, New Jersey. Over the years, several variations of the H001 were added including a youth model, a carbine with a large loop lever, octagon barreled editions, and additional calibers in .22 Magnum and .17 HMR. More than 2 million H001 series rifles have sold counting these variations. They are popular among firearms enthusiasts, in particular squirrel and varmint hunters, farmers, rimfire target shooters and 'plinkers.' After 2 decades it still remains an exceptional value for consumers.
Anthony Imperato, President and owner of Henry Repeating Arms reminisces, 'When I attended the SHOT Show in 1996 I displayed the prototype H001 on top of an 8-foot folding table. We didn't have a big budget booth and it was a no-frills affair. I had no idea that it would go on to be a top seller, a staple of the firearms industry. My goal was to deliver value, quality, a smooth reliable action and of course, made in America.'
'This is the rifle that put Henry Repeating Arms on the map, energized the lever action market and resurrected the Henry name,' Imperato continues. 'Hitting the one-million milestone validates that we have done something right. I couldn't be more humbled by the incredible response and support Henry has received over the past two decades. I remain forever grateful to our customers, distributors, dealers and our employees.'
Auction will benefit organizations that support conservation, hunting, firearms safety, shooting sports programs and the 2nd Amendment

'This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of firearms history. And we have decided to make this one-millionth H001 ever more special and unique,' added Imperato. 'This is the first-ever H001 to feature a silver-finished receiver, which distinguishes the rifle, and beautifies the custom hand-engraved scroll patterns. The rich engraving is completed with inlaid 24-carat gold and is set off exquisitely by the exhibition grade American Walnut stock.' This unique rifle was hand engraved by the artisans at Baron Engraving of Trumbull, CT.
Henry Repeating Arms is aiming to surpass the SHOT Show auction record of $136,014. This one-of-one rifle is available for sale at a public auction on Gunbroker.com. The auction will conclude on January 26, 2018.
