Thank you all who chimed in ! @Smithhammer, his Henry was purchased few weeks back. Beautiful rifle, action smooth as butter.
Unfortunately, when he pulled it out last night to fiddle with it, I discovered that the lever was completely rusted, you can see it on the picture...

We decided it is because of the sweat from the last shooting, we live in FL and understandably for few hours on the open range it was plenty of aggressive
sweat, that he obviously didn't clean at home and week later, along with the condense from the AC the result was most of the bluing on the lever was replaced with 'serious rust...
He'll take it to the store, I suggested the store to clean the rust and ceracoat the lever but we really don't know how they'll handle it. Still, beautiful rifle !

The story with the kid had short continuation today... His grandfather was with him at home and the kid pull the gun to show off, the grand dad (who knows nothing about guns)
sent me a picture of the kid (father wasn't home). Here it is:

Naturally, it drove me crazy... I called them right away and explained them some major safety rules, particularly what to do with the booger finger.
I'm glad the kid took it very seriously and I think he understood the idea about being aware of your target and surroundings and that the finger goes on the trigger
only when you're ready to shoot.
Later, he insisted of his grand dad to send me another picture, I was happy this time... 🤣:thumbsup:

I have 3 henry lever actions. One of mine rusted just like that. I called henry customer service and they sent me a new lever. Their customer service is great.

Partially disassembled, clean and lubed what I could. Mechanicals all work, bore is in good condition,but that is where my expertise ends. Going to take it to a Smith to make sure it's safe and refinish the metal maybe. It was my grandfather's, a Gamble stores Pioneer 24, .22lr, it's basically (after extensive research) a Savage 85 made for Gamble. Grandpa said it was the gun he grew up shooting on the farm in Iowa. I'm not sure how old it is. I know it's not a collectors item, but it is gonna be a gift for my nephew's 10th birthday.

Very nice rifle.
Awesome job teaching a youngster proper gun safety, handling and promoting his learning.

I'm sure their CS is good. My friend took it to the gunstore where he purchased the rifle and they told him that they'll fix it,
will clean the rust from the lever and will ceracoat it black. He is happy so I guess everything is good now, he doesn't have any hard feelings
about the Henry Company, he realized now that he needs to better take care of his gun, especially here in FL, where moisture and sweat are issue.

Thanks, it gets a lot of looks at the range. I've offered to let some of the people who ask what it is shoot, but they are always afraid lol.

I actually bought the gun slightly used (300 rounds) and it was nice in that the left-handed conversion had already been done, as well as ambi-safety and a shooting sight trigger pack. I have a Geiselle super Sabra trigger bow but I'm not quite comfortable installing it myself.
