Deano, I can address one issue here and that is the offset white diamond on the rear sight. When I got my BBS 357, I noticed the same thing. Contacted Henry and they promptly sent me a replacement...same problem. Order must have been duplicated because they actually sent me two more...same offset on all three. Some suggested just turning the blade around. By that time, I had already decided to scope my rifle, so it is now a non issue. I know it should not be that way, however, I wrote it off as NBD.

Sure NBD, but it still would be good to have let Henry know what you got.

Probably right Mags, but left it alone... ;)

Henry customer service emailed me a shipping label today so I will get the rifle packed up for UPS tomorrow. I’ll be worried about how UPS handles it. I don’t want my stock broken or banged up.

Wrap it as best you can inside the box. I'm hoping HRA sent you the details about NOT shipping it in its original white, logo'd box. Another outer box will help with protecting things, too.

I used the original box because it had the pre-fab retention structure inside. However, I wrapped the original with another layer of corrugated board, then wrapped it in heavy brown paper.

No Worries Deano. Youre gun is fully insured by Henry. If anything happens it will be replaced.

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.......

Michael, how many of your rifles does Henry have in for repair? You gave us an update that you sent them the 22WMR by UPS three weeks ago. :?
