What's Your Story, How did you learn of the Henry Rifle Forum's existence?

[Kissmybrass]

I found the forum after seeing it mentioned in another shooting forum, probably Marlin's, I cant remember. After getting my first Henry this spring, I joined up. So I guess word of mouth, or recommendations is how I found it.

This site is not hidden, but it sure is a treat to those who find it and look around long enough to see what a great forum it is !!
Then join! ☺

Exactly! No politics and thousands of years of knowledge. I've ONLY depended on the help from this forum. Nobody tires to one-up each other It's refreshing.

Thanks for the welcome vaquero and JEBar. Happy to be here. I like to jaw alot so youll probably hear from me alot, mostly lies and tall tales but hey, that makes it all fun.

I just like to shoot guns, alot, and talk guns. I cant believe I have to say it but I have to say it, sometimes these fory.s are one of the best places to learn something. Of course you gotta weed through alot of BS and bickering but eventually its not hard to figure out who to listen to and who to, well, not.

[markiver54]

No BS or bickering here. That's what makes this forum special.
Enjoy Bill...and welcome, from Western North Carolina.

I just got in today after reading an article about Internet Forums in the latest edition of USCCA Magazine over the weekend. I got started on the Henry journey about a year ago when I bought my .410 X-Model. Since then, I got the .45 Colt Big Boy, the AR7 Survival, and this past Saturday I ordered the Long Ranger Express from my local FFL. Can't wait to get it!

I have some interest in the Long Ranger. What caliber is it? Would like to hear about it when you get it.
By the way.... Welcome to the Henry forum. Post often and we like pictures if you have any.

Well, the FFL told me yesterday that the Long Ranger Express is no longer in his cart, and all wholesalers are saying six to nine months! Henry, where are you?

8 years ago I won a bolt action 243 on a 10 gun raffle I entered, never had much of a want or need for a centerfire so I added a few bucks to the "take the cash" option and bought my first lever, an H001 and fell in love with it.
A few years later, I decided I wanted to get a lever to match my 7½" Blackhawk in 45LC. Typical wants vs needs so I never spent the money.
2 weeks ago, my local little town held the most amazing Cancer benefit for me as I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma mid Spring. At the benefit, my Boss, a close friend for many years presented me with my dream Rifle, a Doug Turnbull H012, case hardened 45LC beauty that my coworkers came together and bought me. What an overwhelming experience!!
I'm thrilled to announce that I just finished my final round of Chemo this past Wednesday, 28 days of radiation coming up and they say I'm gonna be clean!
After receiving the 45, I googled Henry forums and found this wonderful place.

Quite a little story LM. Congratulations are in order. First and most importantly, glad to hear you are expected to be clear soon! We just never know what hand life is going to deal us. You are a survivor.
Secondly, congratulations on acquiring those fine rifles!
Glad your Google search led you here. Hope you continue to enjoy the forum. it IS a wonderful place and we're glad to have you in the family.

Prayers for You, LM Gorton!!!

What a cool story! You're blessed with some really GREAT community members and friends!

New guy here, myself. Bought a barely used H009G back .30-30 in early September, and followed it up almost immediately with a new little brother, an H004 Golden Boy in .22lr. Like a lot of others here, I went looking for info on something about these rifles, and found this great forum from a Google search. And I've benefited a lot from the folks & knowledge base here! Thanks, Y'all!!!

Hello,

just purchased a Henry H006R, First Henry ever!) might have to go overbite introduction site , just wanted to say hello, learned about the HRF by searching on how to clean the Receiver , what to use and just see what info I could read about on this beautiful firearm., I will post a pic when I learn how, I know that sounds crazy but Im a little older than some though not has old as others

[DeathValleyMike]

Honestly I just googled “Henry Forums” .
Looking forward to some great conversations!

Hi all, I already own a Henry in 22 Mag and several Marlins so I'm no stranger to leverguns I just purchased a BigBoy in 45 colt from gunbroker. I already have a Ruger Blackhawk in that caliber so it seemed like a natural marriage. I was trying to research +P loads for the BigBoy so I thought I should join up. Now I need some advice. I'd like to keep fps under about 1300 or whatever is safe with a 200-240 grain bullet and IMR 4227 powder. The commies in charge of this joint made it illegal to go out of state to purchase ammunition components so I have to use what I have.

As to how I learned of the Henry Rifle forum, you can learn most anything with a web browser. It just stood to reason. Ruger has a forum, so does Marlin, so does the CMP, etc, etc. It wasn't hard to find. Most are populated with great people who are happy to share ideas, gun talk, politics and the like. I expect to be very happy here.

Welcome drschultz from So-Cal. To get a +p load for the .45 Colt, maybe look at Verquro's "10.0gr Unique" in the Range Report sub forum.
That may be the ticket. Enjoy that .45 Colt.

Very true, Except for the politics please. It's against forum rules.
