Hello, new member from California I just bought my first Henry. I will have in eight days. It is a big boy carbine chambered in .357 magnum. I know nothing about those guns except that they look cool and I shot one once at the range. But the real reason I bought one is because I shoot and reload a .357 magnum Smith and Wesson and I wanted a rifle to match. I bought it used from someone who shot twenty rounds in it. The FFL who did the paperwork asked if it was brand new.

And another reload to the fold, cool.

Hey Henri. Welcome from Nebraska. I went the same route as you. My revolver is the Ruger SP101. Pairing your pistol and rifle is a great way to go. And, reloading for 357 is a lot of fun. Enjoy your Henry, and the forum.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

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 to the forum from a California refugee. I always hated that 10 day waiting period.
