Re: New Rifle Owner
You will get mixed answers on dry firing. I would get some snap caps if it was me for the dry firing. As far as cleaning goes bore snakes work I remove the bolt and clean with a rod and jag from the rear of the gun to the front.

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.......

Re: New Rifle Owner
One thing that I feel is important is hollow ground screwdrivers that fit exactly into the different sized screws so they stay nice. Grace makes real nice ones but there are tons of tool companies.
I dry fired my brassie like there was no tomorrow when I first got it till I found out it isn't a good idea (website opinions). Not as bad as a .22 rim but I wouldn't dry fire it too much. Put a swatch of leather between the hammer and the bolt if you want to continually test out trigger pull. Eliminates that hard hit. If you use the bore snake I'd run it through the back and not the side so it doesn't scratch the side surface. I just use my JDEWEY rod and do it the old fashioned way. Oh, and DOES THE BOLT COME OUT??? That's been a problem of late with the newer rifles. X or not.

Don't know if this is legit but IN STOCK 50 rounds for 13 dollars and free shipping? Says you need to spend over 100 bucks.

Re: New Rifle Owner
I looked into it, they also ONLY accept payment in forms of Bitcoin, Vanilla cards, and Amazon gift cards, seems sketchy.
Also, do you think the grace tool set sold on the henrypride site is a good idea?

Re: New Rifle Owner
Yeah, scam. Grace tool set on the Henry site is definitely a good idea. The screwdrivers are tailored to every screw on the Henry rifles.
