Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Is it true, 1 Henry will lead to 2, 3, 4 Henry's, etc?

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

I have my first Henry after many years of waiting. I've heard that once you have a Henry, you just want more and more.
Is that true? Are Henrys like potato chips and tattoos?

I love my Henry Silver Eagle H004SEM!

Well so far I've purchased three. Course I sold two to my buddy down the road. I can still shoot them though.

This will depend on the person and their interests.
I bought my Henry BBB .357 due to my interest in lever guns, what I had learned about Henry and the appearance, fit and finish - and mostly to replace a Winchester Trapper in .357 I was going to sell. Fortunately I really like it am very satisfied with it.
For me it will probably be my one and only as I have many guns and my interests tend to be with
Traditional and original style guns.
For example if I were interested in a lever action style rimless centerfire rifle I would probably seek out an original BLR or a Savage mod 99

.
Possibly at least a 2nd one. My interest was in two particular calibers. So I likely will stop at 2 Henrys for now. If Henry did a Sharps reproduction, that I would be interested in.

Well there is always that possibility. :lol:
I bought the first one ( H001) many moons ago when the kids were young,
and we have shot the bejesus out of it.
Next I wanted a 44 to go with the Rugers, found a nice used one.
Wanted a 41 mag for years and couldn't justify what the Marlin 1894's were bringing.
So when Henry brought those out I ran to get one, #3.
Now that I have three grandsons, I think a couple more 22's will find their way here sooner or later.
Dang Marlinitis was worse for me, think there's about a dozen of those around here. :D

I too will probably stop with the two calibers I have. There is room in my safe for a pretty rim fire though, if I get lucky!! :D

In my case it’s true. I bought a Golden Boy 22 and loved it so much I wanted a centerfire version. So I bought a Big Boy Brass in 357 magnum. I liked it so much I bought a Big Boy Steel Carbine in 357. I think I’m done now. LOL

I bought the Golden Boy 22, and then the Big Boy 357. I hate to sell guns to folks I don't know. But, if I did get the opportuity to sell off a few of my duplicate handguns to a few folks I could trust, (Glocks and Sigs,) now that I am no longer teaching private classes. I would turn THAT gun money into an 1860s model Henry. They are too cool.
