Welcome to the forum family. Many years ago, (1980s), I met a young Dutch Marine during a joint services operation and we stayed in touch by mail over the years. We were always going to get together again someday. A couple years ago, he brought his two sons, 18 and 20, and came go visit for two weeks. They stayed here at our home, and we took them to the Smithsonian in DC, Virginia Beach, The National Museum of The Marine Corps, and Kayak Fishing... We had a great time.

But I think what they enjoyed the most was shooting on my range here on the farm. We shot a 12 gauge shotgun, an AR15 .223, a Smith and Wesson .38, and a Sig P220 .45. I polished up a dozen of the 45 and 223 cases drilled a hole across the base, then seated new bullets. We added split rings and the boys had key rings to share with their mates back home, made from cases they had actually fired. They had pictures and video to prove it.

Their dad says they still talk about it.

I hope you enjoy your time on the forum. Pictures... We like pictures ...

Welcome to the Forum from Kansas CIty, USA! Congratulations on your new Henry! I have that same model and it is a pure pleasure to shoot, great looking rifle and very accurate. Please visit our group often and share your experiences. We also love pictures here, so would love to see your range and shooting partners in the club! Welcome again!

Thanks for all your kind messages.

Next month I will attend my first shooting competition with my Henry. Yesterday, I got my new Henry t-shirt in the mail so I can go in style ;-)
The coming time, I will explore this forum to learn more about Henry rifles.

That is a nice area. When I was (a lot) younger, I used to go there on vacation with my parents.
