Henry Rifle Forums

Well, it's that time again. I've got a case of new gun fever. I realize there's no cure, or even an effective treatment. Eventually I will need to feed the addiction. Now, I don't actually "need" a new gun. I just NEED a new gun.

I'm trying to forestall the inevitable. Some ideas I have so far include trying different ammo in guns I already have, dusting off and shooting a gun I haven't used in awhile, going to a different range, shooting while standing on my head...

Any suggestions are welcome.

I need more room to store firearms. I have too many already and have to thin the herd before buying more. Well the Long Ranger is an exception to that. I have room for just one more.

Buy another one! We're a long time dead.

I'm trying to find a way to take my Henry with me. Heaven isn't a gun-free zone is it?

No I think St Peter at the gate is packin' heat. How else does he keep the riff-raff out?

Um... it's Heaven, right? Duh.



Gun free zone. Geez Louise.

EDIT: One gun that really has me tempted is a steel Big Boy in .357/.38.

I agree, ditto. Around here, they are extremely scarce. In checking all the local gun shops, I can find a brass full size and carbine in .357/.38 and I can find the steel Big Boys in full size and carbine in .45 Colt and .44 mag. But, there are no steel Big Boys in .357/.38 to be found.

I was even talking to one of the salespeople in a local shop this week. He told me he has been dying for a steel Big Boy in .357/38 and can't find one.

I will just bide my time, one will show up eventually.

I can very safely say that the H012M is an excellent Henry rifle....good choice, if you go for it. I had one, but unfortunately I had to sell mine to meet some budget issues. Not only is the lever-action super smooth, it is a very accurate, easy-to-shoot centerfire. And for me, the wood furniture with the fine checkering was beautiful.

I don't know anything about the H012MR model, but I bet it would be a great choice, too. I have the SGC in .22LR (H001TLP), and it is very well-balanced and great to shoot. I'd bet anything it would similar handling for the .357 shorter-barreled steel carbine.

Keep us posted and it will be neat to find out how you "chamber your addiction" this go-around!


P.S. Just an FYI. I just checked, and there are both of these .357 rifles available at Bud's Gun Shop in KY.

The H012M is listed at $641 and no shipping charge: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/adva ... 2m&x=2&y=6

The H012MR is listed at $651 and no shipping charge: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/adva ... r&x=21&y=9

I remember that mine cost $675, so a little better price here.
Anyway, have fun with your hunting for that next Henry!

I scratched my itch last Saturday.

PT7? I looked up "enabler" in the dictionary. Your name and picture came up.

Ditto -- I sure hope you saw one of my younger pictures!

And my note is simply because I like Henrys!

resistance is futile, you will be assimilated .... looking forward to following your progress in feeding this addiction

Dude. As the comedian late Mitch Hedberg noted, every picture of you is from when you were younger.

oops. Wrong thread

New Gun Fever; I'm chronic cause I always look but never buy. But I do have two legitimate needs:

1) Current 9mm is in perfect shape and has < 500 rds through it, but is 70+ years old.

2) Something to fill the gap between bolt action .22WMR and bolt action .308, that is NOT a bolt action

A Henry steel 30-30 would be a great "something".

Good luck ditto.
I wouldn't mind having one of those little carbines myself.
Maybe later on this summer.

Coach what did you get??
