Welcome from Nebraska! Did you stock up on ammo first? Cali must make you shake your head. You will enjoy your Henry, and, the folks here.

Thanks for your service, Gary....and welcome from the Show-Me-State.

Interesting timing with your comment that you "shoot a lot of BP muzzleloaders." I just got my first BP ball & cap pistol this week. Starting a new adventure with a different type of firearm.

Many folk here will look forward to hear how you like your new Henry .45-70 SS. Of course, if you have visited the forum before joining, you know that pictures really tell a good part of the story, too! ;)

Enjoy your time on the HRF.

Thanks for the service Gary and welcome to the forum. Im not sure Id tackle a 45-120. Powder column is not user friendly.

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.......
