The rifle arrived at the FFL on Friday afternoon. I am out of town until Monday. I will DROS it on Tuesday and it will be a 10 day wait from there. Now, I am going hog hunting next month. Which one to use, my BBS in .45 colt or the new one in .357 mag? I have SAA clones in each caliber so a side arm is covered.

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.......

Ive been thinking about the carbine in 45 to go with the Ruger Blackhawk my wife is giving me for Christmas. I’d love to hear people like theirs.

They handle great. I have the brass version. If they would have all been that way for longer than they have I would of had all carbines and none of the longer barrel rifles like I do. Welcome to the forum glad you joined us.

Finally got the rifle in my hands. I love it and will shoot it tomorrow along with my EMF-Pietta Deluxe Californian SAA in .357 Magnum. Can't wait. I emailed Anthony Imperato and told him my thoughts on the rifle. He thanked me for owning several Henry rifles and wished me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
