Henry .22 Barrel Removal?

I don't know anything about removing the barrel but the headspacing is on the rim so if you action will close I do not see how you could have a headspacing problem. If you replace the barrel it still should have the same relationship to the action.

I don't know how your project worked out but I finally got around to taking my Fontier apart to have the action, cover and barrel band CeraKoted.

Removing the Barrel turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would. With the gun disassembled to just the barrel and action drive out the two tapered pins that secured the barrel then with the action in a padded vice drive the barrel out with a brass punch that fits the end of the barrel. The pins came out very easy with just light taps from a brass punch. The barrel took a lot of light taps but came out easy because of the anti seize grease that henry used. The action has an indexing pin that fits into a slot on the barrel so reassembly should be straightforward.

I drove out the three taper pins, pulled the magazine tube and then safely chucked my Henry on a flat surface making sure to protect the thin "stock recess projection" on the receiver. I then used a large brass drift and my 8 ounce ball peen so softly drive the barrel out.

This is a four handed job. Have a friend handy.
