OUTSTANDING performance on it's maiden run!
Cowboy loads feel like bunny farts, and full mag .327 loads have much less recoil than even my .357 Rossi R92.
Shooting offhand at 25 yards (indoors) held 5 shot groups under 1.5";
Fed and fired everything I tried, but all was .327.
I'll take some .32H&R and some .32S&W long on the next trip.
All in all, I am THRILLED with my new Henry!

sounds like the quality of rifle one expects from Henry .... looking forward to pictures .... I have to ask, looking back at your frustrations, aren't you glad that Henry didn't put it on the market until they were sure it was ready ..

Yes, I'm very glad they waited.JEBar wrote:Mgderf wrote:All in all, I am THRILLED with my new Henry!

Still didn't make the waiting any more pleasurable.
As for pictures, I really hate to disappoint, but I'm not one to post internet pictures.
Not that I have anything against them, just that I never learned how to post pics on a computer, my phone is a flip-phone, and I wouldn't even know how to get pictures from a phone or camera onto a computer.
I was dragged kicking and screaming into the computer age.
I know enough to post text in a thread, and how to spend money on GunBroker, Midway, Midsouth...but I am all but computer illiterate, and I don't really care.
Hope my not posting pics doesn't cause too many cases of bunched up panties...

Re: Rifle in .327 Federal
no problem about the pictures .... if you would like, I'd be happy walk you through it .... if you can save pictures on your computer, the forum's software makes it easy to post them .... that's totally up to you

Re: Rifle in .327 Federal
Just picked it up and it sure looks "purdy". I'll get it to the range Thursday or Friday for a report. Right now I'm waiting for the scope rings to come in.

When I first got mine, I slathered the innards with some engine assembly lube, then sat down to watch a movie.Shakey Jake wrote:Just picked it up and it sure looks "purdy". I'll get it to the range Thursday or Friday for a report. Right now I'm waiting for the scope rings to come in.
I held the Henry in my lap and started working the lever.
I did this a couple of days in a row after work.
Somewhere around 1k cycles of the lever the action smoothed out beyond belief.
It now feels like a well broken in rifle.
The action is smooth as a baby's bum, and the trigger is crisp.
Fantastic rifle.

Stopped by a local small independent gun shop to shop and pick up some Trail Boss powder I've been wanting to try. They know I'm a little... obsessed with lever guns. As I was checking out he told me they have a Henry 327 Fed in the store. Don't know what price.
