Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Wow, that sounds really nice. If you get one done, post a pic and tell me who did the work so I can send my stuff.billbeam wrote:I think to improve the looks add a US Army challenge coin, a CIB, and Senior Aircrew Member Wings.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Take a look-not a bad site with good people. No harder to "get" than any other group selling a Henry rifle.

I know enough about the magazine – I've held several copies in my hands and I'm a subscriber to their daily emails.jbmabrey wrote:http://sportingclassics.com/

My point is that if I'm going to get an engraved rifle, it's not going to have the name of a magazine on it – any magazine!

Re: I don't get this at all
We have a lot of purists here!
Although I know a few Winchester and Marlin guys who think we are nuts for loving a rifle without a loading gate.
Agree though...that rifle is going to have a really limited appeal. Like people who are "Sporting Classics" junkies. That's about it!

Re: I don't get this at all
I bought a Golden Boy in.22lr a few years back. It had the SnapOn logo engraved on the stock. I bought it as it was a very good deal. I then ordered a new stock and foregrip from Henry. I sold the SnapOn wood for about half what the new set cost. Still came out ahead.
So,.....no, I would not buy a Henry with a logo engraved unless it was a VERY good deal.

I’ve never owned a Marlin or a Winchester where the loading gate operated smoothly. They have mangled a few thumb nails though. The current quality of what marlin is producing isn’t no where near the quality of what I expect.

Re: I don't get this at all
This doesn't need to be as they are very easy smooth up and shouldn't ever pinch a finger when used properly. My three Winchesters have never pinched a finger but as I have said before a loading gate favors longer cartridges.I’ve never owned a Marlin or a Winchester where the loading gate operated smoothly.

OOOHHRRAAAAAA!!!!!!!!BrokenolMarine wrote:Yeah, I'd buy one with the Marine Corps Emblem, State Police Logo, or something similar... even the NRA Life Member logo, but not Mad Magazine, Shooting Times, etc. But I agree, If I won a contest sponsored by one of those magazines and the prize was a Henry with their logo... I'd take it, and build a display case for it.
I'd LOVE to have a Henry with the Marine Corps Emblem and My Aircrew Wings either mounted or engraved on it.
That would look really nice in the Presentation/Display case I made to see if I could, but don't really use right now.

I think the Carbine would look really nice with a Marine Corps Challenge Coin inlaid in the stock and the aircrew wings inlaid in the forearm. They would have to be done by someone who is well above MY skill level.
