What you said is your answer in my thinking.

Pres. Anthony Imperato wants his customer to be "completely satisfied." You already know the turnaround is not that bad for Henry service. I'd do it a second time, and definitely would let Dee know it hasn't been done right on a new rifle. Make sure she gets your photos, too. They tell the story better than words.

Make the long haul a contented one.

Call them up and talk to them. Supposed to be a 'new' rifle not a 'blem'.

However the areas where the blueing was missing and the big gap on the stock were not fixed. I’ve attached a few pictures here, what do you think? I really don’t want to send it in again because I like the rifle but I don’t like having the bluing missing or the wood not matching up with the metal.

Thanks, I did send photos of the issues with the areas circled and a detailed description of the issues the first time. They did tighten the forearm up but they didn’t fix the other issues or even touch up the bluing like the notes said they did. I guess I’ll give it a try again and see what happens.

Vt...98...couple of questions: How does it shoot, now that you have it back? Does it function correctly? Just wonderin'? What sights are you going to use? Once you have the sights you want...do a test target at 100 yds and let us know if its accurate.

I haven’t done any long range tests with it yet but at 25 yards sighting it in was plenty accurate to kick some cans across the yard. I plan to use this with the iron sights, maybe add a peep sight at some point but probably keep it pretty much stock.

I’m waiting to hear back from Henry though, I don’t like the idea of the blueing issue not being addressed (not to mention it rusted where it was missing even though I oiled it down before sending it off). I’m hoping they will get things fixed this time or just send me a new gun as I am ready to keep it for good. Supposed to rain off and on the next 10 days here so I probably won’t get any additional chances to shoot it before sending it off again.

Hmmm I reached out to Dee last week after receiving my gun back (Wednesday) and still haven’t heard anything back. She previously was pretty quick to respond.

OP- this rifle is designed to fire ammunition. if looking for an heirloom purchase a Uberti. i suggest putting a case of ammo through your HRA before deciding it's got issues.

The OP bought a 'new' Henry. He should get what he paid for, not a blem nor one is 'used' condition.
