New member, old shooter

Post by MarkB » Tue Jan 07, 2020 9:04 pm

New from Delaware. I picked up my first Henry a few weeks ago. It was the AR7. An inexpensive but very well done rifle. Then I was looking at the Henry website and saw the color case hardened Big Boy .357 carbine. It was a match for my .357 Cimarron El Malo with the case hardened frame and octagon barrel. After looking at videos on the color case hardened Big Boy, I'll be receiving the new rifle next week. I'm toying about a Tyler Gun Works tomahawk that is also color case hardened by Bobby Tyler who does the Henry receivers.

I'm 74 and served in the USCG 1963 to 1967, GM-3, Fifth District.

Hey Mark. Welcome to the forum. Im interested in your El Malo. How do you like it. Ive looked at those along with the Taylor Arms version with the octagon barrel called the drifter.

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.......

Welcome aboard, MarkB. Nice first Henry choices....you'll enjoy both, and the Forum, too. I've looked at that El Malo revolver before, and it is a sharp-looking 357. The Birdshead is a very 8-) grip design.

Thanks....appreciate your USCG service.
