My New Golden boy coming in next week

Post by jstanfield103 » Thu Jun 07, 2018 10:43 pm

I have not had a Henry for a while, especially the Golden boy model. I was looking through YouTube gun videos the other day and saw someone shooting a Henry Lever Action youth .22. After watching that video I went to the Henry web page and found out that they make a Golden Boy youth model. I ordered it from my LGS today, it should be in next week. One of my favorite rifles is a Browning BL-22 Micro Midas, this rifle is a youth model rifle that is exactly the same size as the Golden Boy Youth Model. Thirteen inch pull and shorter barrel. I am 5'5"tall and that shorter rifle is perfect for me. I will also really enjoy it in the Golden Boy. Can't wait to get her in. Just wanted to spout off my excitement.

Thanks guy's
I will let you know. It's nice when you don't have to cut the stock down to make that perfect fit.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Went in squared payment away with LGS today. He said the rifle was sent out on Friday and should be here on Tuesday. I will pick it up after work Tuesday evening and get to try it out after work Wednesday. Great LGS.

I pick her up from the dealer. I bought the Goldenboy Youth because I am only 5'5" tall and have short length of pull. The 13" length of pull I was hoping would fit me ok even though I have both my Browning BL-22's at 12" length of pull. To bad the 13" length was usable as is a 14" for me but not very comfortable to shoot. I ended up re-doing the length of pull on this Henry at 11.5" length of pull. The Browning's only have a 33 degree lever swing so 12" on them is great. I have not shot the Henry as of yet took me a while to get the stock cut down and finished the way I think it looks half way decent. It is set at 11.5" length of pull due to the full lever swing.

So don't be to critical on the way she looks. I really do not have the tools to counter sink the top of the brass butt plate. Plus if I did that the screw hole would have been to low in the stock and would have probably broken the stock out. I will shooter her tomorrow or Sunday on my range.

Another thing I have noticed and called Henry about is the front grip can be moved almost 1/16 of an inch front to back. I called Henry and they are sending me out a new fore grip. It appears the hole that the screw goes through is oblong and could be causing the problem (I hope). No big deal but I would like to get it tightened up.
