Tough decisions
Re: Tough decisions
In this area .38-55 ammo very hard to find. Online it's about $1.25rn.
.35 ammo can be found local at a few places, expensive. $1.60rn, online about $1.00
.30-30 ammo readily available most places. $0.75rn, online about $0.45rn.

Re: Tough decisions
I'd avoid trading. Private party sale is one thing, but trading is a haircut you don't want.
If you can wait, I'd wait. One, you can save up and not have to deal with parting with a Henry you like and, two, as noted above, you might avoid some "early production" issues that sometimes arise, no matter the industry or product when I "new" something hits the marketplace.

Re: Tough decisions
I think .35 Rem ammo will continue to be available, since there are quite a few rifles so chambered still hunting out there. It'll never be as affordable as 30-30, though. I'll buy one in a heartbeat if Henry chambers it in a "conventional" blued receiver version. I can't be as enthusiastic about 38-55, still, it'd probably be a fun round to play with - and take up reloading for .

Re: Tough decisions
Yeah, I hate to let go of a firearm, unless I sell or trade with friends. Guess that's why I had to add the second safe.

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

Re: Tough decisions
Sounds like the general consensus is too add a 3rd to my collection, I certainly have no problems with that either. I'm itching to get my hands on one of the new ones, but waiting to hear of issues is probably a smarter route. I think I'll hold off for a little while, although I'm itching to get my hands on one!

Re: Tough decisions
A side gate Henry is appealing. First week they came out, my initial thought was I'd like one in .38-55. But, that is a new rifle, dies, all handloading components and a cartridge I know nothing about. I'll wait and see if Henry comes out with a .357 or .45 Colt[ ] in blue/walnut round barrel configuration. Then, I'll buy.

Re: Tough decisions
Bet he's gonna really like it. I've become so enamored with the .45 Colt, it seems I may need[want] another.
We shall see.

I don't think it's rumor. Seems he should be getting it any day now.
