Just got a Henry!
I'm not new to guns but just got my first Henry. A little youth .22 lever action. I think it will be a hoot to squirrel hunt with. Won't get my hands on it till Tuesday. Any thing that people do to their Henry Guns much to tweak them? I've got a little Marlin that I changed the lever, the trigger, the loading gate, the sights....made it the way I wanted it. Anything in particular that Henry owners seem to like to do to their guns, or are they pretty much good to go other than little things that come down to personal preference. I'm thinking of putting a small scope on mine. Any tips on scopes or rings that work good on these little .22s??? Thanks

Re: Hi from the Ozarks
Welcome to the Forum from Kansas CIty! You'll find lots of advice here, some of it already on the different threads.
As to your Youth 22LR (and many Henrys), one of the first thing new owners do is assess the factory sight situation. The Youth looks to have a modified buckhorn and a hooded front sight, and that may suit you and your needs (and your eyes) very well. Others swear by Skinner Peep Sights and Skinner makes one for a grooved 22 like yours:

I've not been here for long, but I've got four Henrys in the stable and I have to say that, beyond sights/scopes, I haven't found much need to modify anything. Henrys are known for smooth lever actions, the triggers are usually great right out of the box and the fit and finish is usually top notch. It's not a "project gun," in other words, at least for the vast majority of owners you'll find here.
Keep us posted on your first impressions, and just keep asking questions!
Congrats on your first one. Probably won't be your last....

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
