New X model

[Jerrysea]

Picked up the Henry rifle today. The new x model with the side gate. 357 mag.
Not going to be able to shoot it for a while. I have been having some severe dental problems on the right side of my mouth. Next dental appointment in early June. Hopefully shortly after that.
Reading through the manual included. It does not state to use hollow points or soft point ammo. Just no reloads. Hand loads etc. Just use factory ammo.
The manual states to field strip the gun as stated in the manual. I don't see this in there.
This manual states it is for all x model series rifles and shotguns.
I looked at their website for video of taking care of guns. The x model is not on there.

Beside this I am very happy I was able to get this gun, there were none to be found when calling around. I contacted Henry and the FFl that I wanted to deal with was sent the gun. You may have seen my other post talking about this.
Hats off to Henry they did this while they are not really operating during this covid 19 mess.
The person at Henry who got this done for me is Dennette Siellrecht.

Jerry
On another note Henry will always tell you to fire factory ammo because of legality. Most all of us here shoot reloads. As far as tear down goes if you do a search on the sidegate models I think you will find some info that would help you. I have a sidegate model and the bolt comes out the same way it does on the BB models. I dont see any need to tear a new one down any farther that that. JMHO YMMV

sorry to hear of the dental issues, do hope you will be able to resolve them quickly .... no surprise that you have received good service from Henry, its simply their way of doing business .... looking forward to your continued reports as you become better acquainted with you 357 .... thanks for adding your X model to our community's total

Thanks to all. I have gone to the link Big Al gave and added my gun.

Having a new gun and not being able to shoot it would drive me insane. Not a long drive for me.

I know about mouth problems.
It is usually my foot.

I have one on order, probably not have the paperwork and shipping sorted out for a few weeks. My local dealer says to expect it around mid July.
But congrats on yours, they seem to be a great rifle.
