Henry Survival Rifle... Anyone tried it?

I have one, I bought my first one in the seventies. Great back pack rifle.

I took it apart to clean it once and was looking it over and realized if I left a piece out it would fire fully automatic. Put it together and stuck the 50 round mag on it. Pulled the trigger and sure enough it was fully auto. Trouble was when I released the trigger it kept firing until I dropped the mag out.

I went home and put it back to stock.

I wanted an Ar-7 until I bought this. http://www.ruger.com/products/1022Takedown/models.html

 

Ruger > Henry

 

I own both. The 10/22 wont fit in my range bag sideways it has to stick out of it. The AR-7 fits fine. They are both accurate in my opinion with iron sights out of the box. The AR-7 trigger hurts my finger after half a brick of ammo. That is the only negative I can think of. I made a thread reviewing the AR-7 a while ago. Search the CR Gun Crew if you are interested.
