Hey from Nebraska. Another 357 steel carbine lover here.

Curious about your location and/or story behind it? I assume 'Old Dominion' is today Virginia, yet you fly the Lebanon flag. How did that come about?

It's my family origin. Very proud of them, as they came here at the turn of the 20th Century and endured many hardships to become Virginians. And we cook a lot of Lebanese food still :D

We are real Lebanese diaspora community, one of a few in the US, mostly from before WW I and the 70s Civil War. Couple of my shooting buds also trace their family history back there.

Thanks to all for the warm welcomes. I'll get you a range report as soon as the right .357/.38 Big Boy Steel finds me. One great thing about Henry Rifles so far: I don't hear the moans and groans that I do on the S&W, Ruger, and even Kimber forums. I'm sure a few bad guns leave Henry's factories, but their CS seems top-notch. I plan to keep my rifle for the duration.

Didn't know about the Lebanese diaspora. Thanks for the family history! I learned something today.

There are posts here about Henry rifle problems. For the most part though very little ongoing moaning/groaning. Someone will share what happened, then sending it off to Henry for repair/replacement and being happy at the end of the day. Fairly short and sweet tale.
