'Make America great again' is the theme of the day for a reason.
AND I am hoping 'Make America Great Again' is a call to a (somewhat) return to a position of self-reliance and the understanding that certain things need to be undertaken by oneself and NOT based on the belief you will be 'compensated' for everything you do. GFK sir - I was prepared to offer assistance and guidance with the replacement of the pin in your tube (free of charge) but if you can get a better deal (and get paid for your time) then by all means good luck with your repair - just my 2c worth.

I think this has gotten way off base from the tube issue . Sorry greyrush. I will simply try to clarify my comment. I suspect most people do not like throwing their money away. I view the call as Americans making things to be proud of and worth buying which in turn should return money flowing into this Country not out of it. Just to be clear, I think the Henry I purchased has been worth buying so far. Also Mistered, I think your ideas about the tube are good.

Tangents happen. :-] Allison said I should have the tube by the end of the week. I think I'll be able to put some shots through this weekend, if I get it, and see how things go.

Great! I hoping to get out there this weekend as well. But, a lot of people probably have the same idea. So, I will see how things go also.

Received the new tube today, and the difference in length of the tube pin between the two is blatantly obvious. Old tube on the right, new one on the left. This new one should work just fine.

35 rounds this morning at an indoor 75 yrd range ... new tube worked perfectly, no problems. Thanks Henry.

And for another tangent ... today was the first time I could see how just my heartbeat moved the POA. Reticule moved slightly with heartbeats. Respects to those doing long range shots with precision and handling alllll the variables that can affect the shot.
