Henry Big Boy Steel .44 Magnum Journey

[Goodbye Middle Class]

Hello All. New to the forum.

This is going to be a photo thread of my Henry Big Boy Steel .44 Magnum Journey.

I'll detail accessories and other items I've picked up along the way. I'll also update range reports and ammunition used. I understand there are many different/better ways to do just about everything. I do what I've done based on preference for what I like, however, I do welcome good advice. I have another hobby (O Scale Brass Trains) which is why I have the photo booth set-up.

Not a serious discussion really. It's just for the pure enjoyment of it. Happy to hear comments and suggestions, but please keep the thread on topic. I'll add updates periodically.

Coming attractions: I'm already working on scope, large loop lever replacement, and some sweet gun leather. Coming soon. Not to mention many other items including tools, bench, rests, ammunition, etc. And I will also share a new wheel gun companion I picked up to pair with it in .44 Magnum!

You'll get to see my excitement, and lessons learned as I go.

I ordered this rifle not too long ago and picked it up a couple weeks ago. Here are the pics of the unboxing.

Thanks, Will

Manufactured November 2019. Well constructed. Great fit and tolerance of assembly. A beautiful piece. Enjoy............

Look nice! Yes, they are made well. Hope you enjoy shooting it. I have not seen a support like that. It is different. Happy shooting!

The support is a Cell phone holder with suction cup.

welcome indeed, delighted to have you join our forum .... please feel free to read and post often .... our older cousin of your BBS 44 Mag has proven to be an excellent shooter .... very accurate and fun to fire .... I'm glad to see that Henry has redesigned its slot where the inner magazine tube locks in place .... we've had one failure in that area and should it ever happen again my hope would be ours would be retrofitted to one like yours .... be sure to follow the link below and add your 44 to our community's total

Nice pictures, very classy. Have you tried cycling ammo or dummies through your rifle? My new BBX .44Mag had to go back right away, it would jam.

GMC, had to laugh when I jus' typ'd that.
Was in a hurry earlier, but those are some fine photos, sir.
I can't wait to see more.
We have several picture threads, and always like to see others.

If you have an old hacksaw blade lying around...here's another use for it!
