I just sent the following message to Henry. This is my third attempt to talk to someone at Henry about this.

SAFETY ISSUE
After dry firing the gun (the same as if you had a failure to fire a live round ) and after I applied the safety, I could not retract the charging handle all the way to the rear. It only comes back 3/4”.
However, If you take the safety off (putting the carbine in the fire position) you can then retract the charging handle all the way. I believe that this is a serious design flaw (especially when you are trying to clear the gun after a mis-fire).
PROBLEM WITH THE GLOCK MAG WELL SYSTEM
I have my second Glock mag well (the first one I purchased had a part missing** which I borrowed from my stock Henry mag well. Your customer service department sent me a replacement unit)
With both units, I was unable to let the bolt go forward with a full 10 round (late model) magazine. This also happened with an early model (Gen 3) 15 round magazine but not consistently. I filed the 10 round mag slightly on the left upper area where the hold open device is activated by the mag follower. This helped somewhat but not 100%. It looks like the hold open device is mounted rather loosely in these mag well assemblies.
This hold open device should be made so it will not rub on the left side of the mag body. The only part of the magazine assembly that contacts the bolt hold open device should be the magazine follower. In lieu of this, owners should be made aware that they should check to see if their carbine functions correctly with the Glock mag well installed.

FIRST SHOTS FIRED
This carbine is very accurate. Using 115 grn Norma ball ammo, I got one ragged hole at 25 yards. I am very pleased with this.

Hopefully Henry will contact me soon.
