I didnt know this till last night after watching the latest You Tube with Anthony but for all you wood lovers out there like me they do have upgraded wood sets for our Big Boys and some other models. I think the option to do this is kinda cool. There is also quite a but more new products on the Henry Pride part of there website. Take a look. I posted a link to the nice wood. Al

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.......

Re: Wood Lovers
Very nice. But a bit pricey just for looks. Kinda makes you wonder if now that they are selling these they might scrimp on pretty wood on stock rifles.
I'd be hard pressed to improve on the wood on my Golden Boy. The Big boy and 45/70 are a little plainer but not bad. The Big Boy is covered by a leather stock cover and the 45/70 will probably be before spring.

Re: Wood Lovers
Nice wood for sure. I have seen some like that on GB for sale from time to time. I wonder how they get out of Henry that way. But the new single shots and Long Rangers some of those have come out with great looking wood also. I agree that 250.00 is pricey to upgrade the wood. If a guy gets to nice of wood on the gun hes afraid to take it out and shoot it for fear of messing up the wood. AlSquatch wrote:Very nice. But a bit pricey just for looks.

That's pretty! I assume you refinished the stock, it's a lot shinier than my BBB or Golden Boy photos on Henry's site.

Re: Wood Lovers
No refinish. Henry uses a poly type finish. I'm guess water based these days. No big deal to polish it to a gloss with automotive polishing compound. Like rubbing compound but finer. A few minutes rubbing with a damp cloth and then finish with a good coat of Johnson's Paste wax for furniture.

In the last online Q+A someone asked Anthony if they would make gloss wood and he said no. Lever actions should be satin finish.

Very little figure, very dissapointed.

Re: Wood Lovers
This is a disappointing report. How does the "special order wood" compare to the original? Can you post some pictures for us? Thanks.Hitman wrote:I ordered a set for my brass 45/70 they came today and dont look nothing like the ones advertised.

Re: Wood Lovers
My BBS came with plain, boring grain. Dull.
I looked into this upgraded furniture but there isn't any for my rifle.
No big deal. Just not as nice as most Henrys.
