OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR HENRY BIG BOY RIFLE SAFETY This firearm is designed with an ultra-safe patented Transfer Bar Safety Mechanism. This safety system prevents the gun from being fired under all circumstances, except when the hammer is fully cocked and the trigger is pulled. If the hammer is fully cocked and the trigger is pulled, the gun would fire as normal.
HOW TO LOAD YOUR HENRY BIG BOY RIFLE Prior to loading your rifle, make certain that it is not already loaded. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, swing the lever down, and pull it back. If a cartridge ejects, proceed with directions on how to unload the magazine tube and empty the chamber. We recommend that you always load a completely unloaded firearm, and clear the firearm of any cartridges prior to loading.
HOW TO LOAD This rifle is a tubular feed design, using a brass inner magazine tube. Cartridges are loaded into a loading port, a cutout in the blued outer magazine tube located underneath the barrel. Rotate the inner magazine tube to disengage. Pull the inner magazine tube out until the follower (the black part at the end of the inner magazine tube) clears the loading port in the outer magazine tube.

Cycle the action multiple times to insure that no live rounds remain in the chamber. SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS - Your rifle is equipped with a fully adjustable rear sight.
shoot lower, then lower the insert. To adjust your rifle for windage (left/right), we suggest that you move the rear sight to the left or right as desired. The rear sight sits in a dovetail slot cutout in the barrel. To adjust your rifle for windage use a plastic mallet, or a hammer and a brass wedge to tap it in the direction you want your hits to land. For example: if you are shooting to the left, you need to tap the sight over to the right to correct the point of impact.
