Mine had the same issue, but not too bad to where it affects shooting. I also asked for a replacement metal barrel band to replace the plastic one. They did so for free--great customer service. I am not a hater, because I want to support the company.
That said, my Henry 16" .22 lever carbine (H001l) hangs up from time to time-- way too often for a "critter rifle"-- the nose of the round coming from the magazine gets thrown up too high (above the chamber) where it jams in the receiver. I would love to know how to fix it without having to use a pocket knife to work the round into the chamber each time it happens.
Plus, the receiver looks cheap-- the scratches on the receiver look worse that typically is on blued steel. Not equal in all respects. Not even close to a 9422.
HOWEVER, I love the 16" barrel, cowboy loop lever, and I will say that it is accurate and affordable. However, I would drop it and pay double for a 9422 if Winchester made a 16" carbine.
