heard from Mr. Imperato this morning. = Patrick will be in touch with me and we'll explore some options.
This IS the good part! A response from the prez with an outline of action is rare - I deal with large manufacturers of RVs and this type of response is rare. I firmly believe Henry is an honest and forthright company from all I have heard about customer response & follow up however I also believe they are dealing with things out of their control and are simply making the best of a bad situation - like many companies are right now.

Petey,

FYI...

If Henry is providing a replacement firearm, as long as they put the same serial number on it as the one being replaced, it can be shipped directly back to you as a "repair".

But if they are sending another one with a different serial number, then it does have go through a CA FFL, DROS'ed and 10 day wait, like a new acquisition.

If that happens, you also need get the defective one "unregistered" to you by filing DOJ form BOF 4546 (Notice of No Longer in Possession) checking the 'Returned to dealer/manufacture' box in section D and follow the instructions on the form regarding the documentation needed from Henry that needs to be attached to the form.

Thank you! I 'll have to file the 4546. It also requires a copy of the DROS ...... No biggie.

I figure I can live with it because it's a really nice chunk of wood...Nicer than my other 3 Henry's. So off to the yard I go target and Rifle in hand. All shots (25 yrds) are inches high....NOT Good.....sight is at lowest setting = even worse.
I am no expert, just a thought. By chance, are you using 6 o'clock hold, center or 12 o'clock hold. For years I have used 6 o'clock hold. Since I planning to use open sight on my Henry, I thinking of adjusting based on distance. For closer shots (25 yards or less), maybe a 6 o'clock hold. Up to 75 yards, maybe center. 75 and beyond, maybe 12 o'clock. But, I will see how my thoughts pan out at the range.

I have always sighted Point of aim = dead on. Let me know how you do.

HAppy SHootin!

Well, I finally got out to the range this weekend. I can understand better what you were referring to. My H009 seems to be shooting high also. Another shooter at the range had the same issue. We were shooting from a rest and hitting above the target. We could see the dirt fly up, but no hole in the target. At one point, we used a cardboard backing of about 3 feet and still nothing. The elevation was all the way down. We were at 50 yards. I may not be the best shot in the world. But, I placed better shots with my Marlin being 3-4" left of center. I think I can adjust windage for that. Based on markings on the Marlin, it seems someone has already adjusted it to the left some. It was new, so I assume factory. I did contact Henry for feedback though.

GFK,
Sorry to hear that . It would appear to me that the Good Folks at Henry need to "look" into this matter --- Literally . Just too many instances of things amiss = pun intended . Yes I know their customer service is without rival . I can attest to that ...believe me they are amazing. However:It would be so much better if the need for such service were more scarce. Fear not The good folks will make it right.

I love my Henry's.
Happy SHootin!

I couldn't agree more on their customer service but I don't agree that the number of issues we see here represents a huge problem .... they turn out tens of thousands ---- we hear of a handful, from which it is easy to jump to a wrong conclusion
