AMMUNITION SELECTION
Henry RAC Firearms are designed to function with a variety of brands and types of factory-manufactured
ammunition in the appropriate caliber but not all ammunition produces the same result. Henry RAC
recommends that after you read and understand this manual, you go to the rang
e and fire different ammunition
which is appropriate to the caliber of your firearm. Once you find the ammunition which functions best, keep
using it. Especially when cutting-edge reliability and accuracy are vital to you. When sighting your rifle, shoot
a group to determine point of impact on the target. Then make increme
ntal adjustments to center the point of
impact on the target bullseye.
HOW TO LOAD YOUR ORIGINAL HENRY 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 th
at you
always load a completely unloaded firearm, and clear the firearm of
any cartridges prior to loading. Assuming that you are now operating
an unloaded firearm, make certain that the barrel, receiver and
chamber are free from any obstruction.
HOW TO LOAD
[Step 1] Turn the lever locking l
atch to the release position.
Releasing the latch should allow the lever to go down approximately
1/2". Do not push the loading lever forward.
[Step 2] First make sure the loading lever is fully forward. Then load the tubular magazine by pushing the brass
magazine follower fully forward until th
e engagement indicator just below the muzzle rises approximately 1/16th
of an inch.
[Step 3] Place your hand on the sleeve with thumb grasping the brass follower. Rotate the barrel sleeve back
into the closed position and with thumb slowly allow follower to return downwards. DO NOT allow the follower to
slam
down onto loaded cartridges, and DO NOT place any part of your hand over the muzzle while loading
[Step 4] When you are ready to actually fire the firearm, the loading lever is pushed forward as far as it will go
and is then pulled straight back. Your finger should NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER while manipulating the load
ing lever.
The rifle will now be fully cocked and will fire when the trigger is pulled. If the lever does not go forward, release
the loading lever latch by turning the small knob perpendicular to the rifle.
[Step 5] After you have fired the first shot, the next cartridge is loaded by repea
ting step 4.
