Re: First rounds through the BBS carbine
Glad to hear that you and that Henry are getting along so well. Also, even though most of my shooting, these days, is with a scoop or red dot, nice to see some folks do so well with irons. Good for you.

Thanks, PT7!PT7 wrote:Impressive sight-in Range Report you gave us, and very good photos to take us alongside your shooting.
Those white paper plates with splash targets were perfect. You and your .357 Carbine nicely grouped those POIs.
What I most of all like of your work today is that you did it with the stock, iron sights, Deano. Great job!

Re: First rounds through the BBS carbine
Save yourself the trouble. I received two more from Henry and the white diamond was the same, so that made three including the original. Just keep it like you have it, ( flipped around ) and as RR said, carry on. I decided to scope mine so not an issue any more.

Also looks like the white diamond is out of alignment with the diamond that is also stamped into the metal of the insert. Not that you should have to fix this yourself, but you might be able to scrape the white paint off that is outside of the stamped diamond with an xacto knife and then with a toothpick or needle touch up the black part of the stamped diamond with white finger nail polish. Anyway call Henry on the phone and talk to them. Tell them exactly what you see, ask for another one and have them inspect it before sending it.

Sure save yourself the trouble, but it's also time to kick this up a notch and let Anthony and Dan know that even the replacements being sent out are defective.

Re: First rounds through the BBS carbine
nicely done .... I agree with you that as you and your carbine get better acquainted your groups will get even better .... what length shots are likely where you hunt ..

Re: First rounds through the BBS carbine
Nice shootin Deano,
I wouldn't have thought that you could tell the difference between the carbine and the rifle in the 357.
Good to know though.

Actually...it gets worse. Had forgotten, but the second time they sent a replacement, they duplicated the order so I have 4 like this.markiver54 wrote:Yes, you are right. They SHOULD correct the problem.Mags wrote:.
