Its a suitable box but Henry will tell you to wrap it in that heavy brown paper or use a cover box. Which is a good idea.

So for the folks thatvsent a rifle back ... is the white henry box suitable or will it need an overbox?
The white box is probably ok, however, I didn't want to advertise what was in the package,so
I simply wrapped it with another layer of brown corrugated and taped it up really well. When it arrived back, that is exactly what they did.

When I sent mine back (2017), I received instructions to send it in an unmarked box. So, I went to mine LGS and asked for one. At one point (2018-2019?), Henry was sending boxes with labels for returns. At any rate, you should receive instructions on how to return the rifle.

No. Have to use a plain blank outer box. Shipping label only. No other labels or markings. I had to make the outer box. I made space for plenty of padding on the ends as my internal white box had none. When I got my rifle back Henry sent it in a new outer box that I have kept for a future return that I hope never happens. This was in March this year 2019.

I went to Academy and asked for a box. Took them about 15 minutes to find a suitable overbox. Went out of their way. Middle of taking inventory. Good people.

Thank you all. I ordered a case recently from Amazon to use to bring the rifle to the range on motorcycle and I just checked and the whitebox fits in it almost perfectly. Just have to cut out all the amazon labeling. Now to be patient and wait on the shipping label. I miss it already .. damn I hate having to send it in!

On a positive note. I had a ruger gp100 that had to go back after less than a box of ammo and they went over the gun with a fine tooth comb. It was overall better than when I sent it in and its one of my very favorite guns ever and has been with me some 3 years and more than a few hundred rounds.

I'm a bit surprised you don't already have the label. When I did it, they emailed the label and I got it within minutes of my call.

I know the feeling. Had never ever, for anything, needed to send something back for repair before so I was a bit distraught about it. But it was better than Christmas when I knew it was on it way back to me!

Maybe. But we haven't seen from him confirmation that they have. I'm confident they will, but this 'under review' usually hasn't taken this long.
