Just picked up my .22 henry lever action and it will not feed a single round. Ive only tried winchester bulk pack. All of them jam. And jam good as in I've got to pick the round out. They will fit in the chamber but will not feed when working the action. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Update: just got the gun back yesterday.  Seems to feed everything good. They replaced the carrier and test fired it. Three weeks excatly it was gone. When I got it back seems to havea few nicks and scratches in a couple places I don't remember but no big deal this gun will be used a lot.  I would say I'm pretty satisfied with it. Oh and I shot shorts, longs and colibri's out of it and fed everything.

I don't mean to insult you, but you never know the skill level of the persons posting here, so, this might sound like a stupid question, but are you using the proper ammo? EG:22lr, 22, 22short etc?

No insult taken sorry should have specified. It is .22lr I was using. The barrel is marked for . 22lr, shorts and longs.

Clean it well, try different ammo.

Clean out the mag tube and the follower tube, (the part with the spring) I use one of the wool mops with some solvent. Keep it dry and clean, no oil. If that doesn't work, call Henry. My new Henry's mag tube(s) were filthy

After you try all that, call Henry.  They will email you a shipping label and take care of it.  Their customer service is the best I've ever seen in the gun industry.  Actually in any industry.

If it's a new rifle, may just need some break in. Also worth trying different brands of ammo.

clean it good, try some different ammo, and if that doesn't work call Henry. They have excellent customer service and a lifetime warranty.

My Henry H1001 would not run Win. 333/555 for chit. I have almost 20k of that stuff.
I sent it back due to that issue also wood to metal fit at the tang was kinda dissapointing. I told them I hand selected this particular gun due to the stock having nice wood.
They sent it back to me with a freggin awesome  new set of furniture with sweet wood grain. I was really impressed with the wood.
It still did not like Win.333/555 so I shot Federal bulk instead.
Now that the Henry is broken in it runs Win. 333/555.
Also if you are.looking to scope  your Henry, D.M.Z.'s Marlin model 60 mount works really good with the Henry's dovetail.

Well gun is on its way back to henry. Tried a few other brands of ammo and it still jammed right up. See how it goes. Also I did buy this from my lgs. Took it back to them and they are sending it back. So they said if it takes to long at henry they would just exchange the gun if I want.

I had a problem with my 22lr golden boy I got as a gift. It would jam the casing in the chamber and wouldn't extract it so I sent it back to henry. They polished the chamber and sent it back. It works now but is kind of picky on what brand ammo I use.

The kicker is I bought a standard model about a year before and that eats everything.

Something must be wrong with your extractor cause I've owned 94/22 ,mod 39-a, and my Henry ejects ten times smoother than any of these.

Not saying it';s better just smoother.
