If you want to double-check, just send Henry C/S an email with the Serial Number and ask for the Born On/Mfr date. I got a response back on the same day!Mags wrote:My inspection tag is dated 08-11-2017. I'm assuming that corresponds with the last check - packaging inspection. There are 4 check items preprinted on the tag. On the back there is a lock bar inspection sticker. Also looks like the LGS logged it into their inventory 11-16-2017 per their sticker on the Henry box. I bought it 03-25-2018.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Born On Date?
You must have got them on a slow day. I didn't hear from them today. Past experience 2 to 2 1/2 days for answers. Not complaining, I'm just glad they get back to us in a reasonable time. A lot of businesses wouldn't bother.

Re: Born On Date?
Got a response from Henry per their usual turnaround time. So although my tag is dated 8-11-2017, their build date is 8-14-2017. 8-11 was a Friday, and the 14th is a Monday. I can that if my Henry got a late day Friday final inspection that it might not clear outgoing until Monday.

Re: Born On Date?
Makes total sense to me. Wonder if they do factory tours up in Rice lake. I love plant tours.

Re: Born On Date?
There are some factory tour videos that can be found by google search. Not very good, but do give a sense of what is involved. Lots of machine work, so I wouldn't expect live tours open to the public. Would be really cool if one could get a private tour.
