New to the forum not to Henry

Howdy folks,
Not new to Henry rifles I have purchased a 45/70 2016 a 30/30 in 2018 and military commemorative 22 in 2018 wife bought as a gift. Henry rifles are the best I have ever owned. I have owned many other manufacturers rifles so I can say this without any doubt. I also own a .500 S&W in a carbine and revolver for hunting too if Henry had made one, I would purchase one from them. I have even written Henry to make one in a single shot but to no avail they were not interested. There is only one manufacturer today that makes a .500 carbine, and they are not cheap.
I spent 21 years serving in the USCG and retired in 95 and joined the USCG to beat the draft as my number was up. After leaving the USCG in 95 I worked for the State as a Facility manager then in 99 left and worked for a college as their energy manager and assistant plant director. In 2010 I left the college and went to private industry in the building automation and energy management field. Stayed there until I retired in 2020.
I have been hunting on my own since I was 8 years old. By passed the BB gun phase and went directly to a Savage 22 over a 410. At 12 I started trapping on my own for muskrats, fox, beaver, skunk mink and rabbit. I started learning from an old trapper at 8 years old. My first fur auction I made 1200 bucks at 12 years old. Also, was the paper boy for the town. At 15 started a real job working for a farm stand and lumber mill.
I have been reloading for many 40+ years for myself. Learned to reload back in the 70s from a gunner's mate who ran the armory. Started with 12 gauge, 30/06 and 45 APC then 5.62. Since retirement in 2020 now 69 I have taken up leather work. I have made everything from slings to holsters, coasters and civil war era stuff for reenactors. Also, have been a wood worker all my life and have built all our furniture, grandfather clocks, made some gun stocks, refinished gun stocks.
