Brooklyn vs Bayonne

[Sir Henry]

Do you have a preference for one made at one location over the over?

I have owned Henry's made both places. I never saw much difference in workmanship or accuracy. My Frontier is Bayonne made and I don't know if it is because it is a Frontier or the time it was built but it has a clear type finish that really shows the grain and the newer ones have that very dark chocolate looking finish that really hides the grain of the wood. My Frontier looks much better to me than any I have recently looked at. I am always in the market for a new Henry but I don't want to have to redo the finish.

The H001TLP I have was made in Bayonne last fall. My friend has an H001, which was made in Brooklyn in 2006. Both are quality-built, and also excellent shooters. Are any of the H001 models built at the Henry WI facility?

Do you know where in Bklyn?

My H001 was made on 9-11-2002 in Brooklyn!
To my dismay, the rear sight dovetail is larger than 3/8", so the Marble Bullseye rear sight doesn't fit.
But that's ok now, my daughter got me a Simmons scope for Christmas!

I found the same thing but I just took a file to the Williams receiver sight mount. Then I ended up putting that particular receiver cover on a Mare's Leg.

Our 3 Henry's came from NJ. Being a Wisconsinite I had hoped the Henry I bought in January 2015 was a Rice Lake build. Only center fires are made in WI. Maybe I'll have to get a 45/70.

Maybe not, my rimfire is stamped "Rice Lake". I used to have family that lived in Rice Lake many years ago btw.
