Henry Rifle Forums

Good morning all,
I’ve been looking at and shot several Henry rifles over the years and always wanted one in my favorite handgun caliber of .41mag. I’ve looked for one for several years but to no avail. My sons found a Big Boy Carbine with the brass receiver and gave it to me for Christmas. I absolutely love it and the way it shoots

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the new Henry.

Welcome to the forum from Louisiana and congratulations on the gift!

Hey Tex. Welcome from Nebraska. Thanks for the pic, good start.

Welcome from another fellow Texican. I am to a fanboy of the 45 ACP and COLT. Can't go wrong with either. Where Ya'll at? I'm up on the Red River north of Dallas.

Welcome. To the forum and to the Lost Boys of the Henry .41mag club. I have the same rifle, except in steel rather than brass. Great deer gun for around here.

Btw, I did some ballistic testing of the rifle (chrony) with 2 different factory ammo a couple years ago, if you're interested.

I believe you're right. The only problem now is on the ammo side. Ain't any. So unless you have a stash, or the means to make it, it's just a wall hanger.

MuddyWaters I am located about half way between Houston and San Antonio just off Interstate 10.

Well my .41 magnum fascination began over 30 years ago.....purely by accident!! Ruger mentioned they would release a DA revolver in .44mag, well I went down and put my name on a very long list. Two years later when my Redhawk arrived the gun shop called me and I got there as quickly as I could only to find that a mistake had been made and the gun was in the caliber .41 magnum to except a scope with rings and funny looking D shaped cuts in the barrel rib. Luckily The shop also had some .41 magnum ammo on the shelf. I bought four boxes went to the range and fell in love with the caliber. I’ve been hunting with it competing with it and handloading for it for over 30 years. My first a 7.5” stainless Redhawk topped by a 2X Leopold Handgun Scope, a 4” Stainless Redhawk I customized from a 5.5” for carry in the woods, a stainless Taurus 415 in .41 magnum with a ported 2 1/2” barrel.
