My Henry single shot rifles need help

[LoneStarTX]

First let me say I love Henry Repeating Arms lever guns. I have 4 of them. When Henry introduced their single shots I considered buying one waited.
When I decided to buy I bought 2 - H015 models: 45-70. Took both to the range with factory hunting ammo and what a disappointment: extremely heavy
trigger pull in spite of very heavy hammer pull.
Doing a little searching I found Henry had recall to fix this and drop hammer firing fails. Their customer recall service was experiencing very long repairs on this.
Further search came up with quick fix by removing a small spring and replacing the large spring on the hammer strut.
I ordered the large springs from Granger and installed it and was pleased with dry firing results.
Taking both to the range with several 4 different boxes of hunting ammo was a huge failure. 70% of all 80 rounds failed with what appeared to be decent striked primers.
Back home I put CCI primers in 20 empty cases with no fails. Must be the factory loads were using military hard primers.
At this point just I want to sell the rifles but with them not firing factory ammo no sale.
I started looking for the original spring sets to restore as when new but due to my poor organizational skills I can't find them.
If anyone has the factory springs I will buy them!

Frustrating, I'm sure. I can offer no help but hope you find a solution soon.

Why won't Henry send out the factory springs or make the guns right? Was it because you home smithed your problems?

I would just get the factory springs from Henry and replace them. If not prepare to ship them back to Henry and let them handle the repair.

Send them back to Henry along with the rounds that miss fired, they have a great warranty and great customer service, Call them, they'll send you a fedex shipping label and get er done!

Have you contacted Henry? I had a part break on my 357 henry, called them and received replacement the same week.

If you do sell them I'd definitely be interested in one of them. Just putting that out there.
