Howdy from the Dismal Swamp

Post by mrguvna » Tue Oct 09, 2018 3:25 pm

I have always had a need/desire for a henry Big Boy Brass in 44 mag. I was finally pushed over the edge and bought one last Friday off of GB. I got an exceptional deal on it and cannot wait to get the shiny new toy in my hands. I already reload for my Ruger SBH Bisley so got everything I need to keep this Big Boy fed! I look forward to participating in this forum. I will post pics when I get it in my hands, it is presently in bound

didn't expect it to be an actual place. from the pretty fall colors there it doesn't look so dismal.

Welcome from a former swamp dweller.
I grew up in Chesapeake just outside of the modern limit of the swamp. Development in the area shrunk the territory once covered by it. It has a pretty amazing history. I remember having black bears in my backyard when I was six.
Enjoy that beautiful new Henry.
