I want to shoot shorts out of it but I have had Long Rifles get stuck in the chamber of my Marlin 39A if I shoot a lot of shorts out of it and don't clean the chamber before shooting LRs. I clean the Marlin from the back and use a 25 cal brush as a chamber brush to get the crud ring out left by the shorts.
I don't see an easy way to clean the Henry from the back. The manual acts like taking it all the way apart is not an easy task. Anybody taken their Henry 22 all the way apart? If I am going to keep the gun I'm sure it will become necessary at some point.

Went out this mornig to give the Henry a try. Needed a little down and a little right. Didn't take long. Here is a target offhand at 25 yards with bulk ammo. Not bad at all.
