Greetings from Northern Virginia

[Sepp W.]

Long time lurker and decided to pull the trigger on joining. Several Henry lever actions in my stable and recently acquired the H015B-12 in brass. Chambered up to 3.5 inch shotshell and could be a bear to shoot. Comes adorned with a brass buttplate.

Hunting and fishing when I can. Mostly work. Besides firearms, collect pocket watches, knives, and whiskey (single barrel, hi-proof stuff only).

Other than that, not a whole lot else going on.

Welcome Sepp!
I think you're right about your new Henry, that's gonna let you know when you shoot it. I have a single barrel 12 gauge that I cut down and used with slugs back before NJ allowed rifled barrels, and while that shot well and you almost didn't feel it when taking a shot at a deer, sighting in was a kind of torture. Knowing that I'd need to shoot a lot of different slugs to see which would do better in this little shotgun, I went through almost a dozen different kinds, and I don't want to do that ever again.

Collecting pocket watches, huh? Cool! My grandfather was an engineer for the Eire Lackawanna Railroad, and I know that his pocket watch is with someone in the family, not sure who but I know it's not me. I had a Mickey Mouse pocket watch for a while back in the late 70s-early 80s, that's gone now too.

Pretty neat that we all have common interests that bring us here, and then we find that we also have a pretty long list of other interests that overlap and dovetail with each other's interests as well.

Appreciate it Mags, HenryFan, and rickhem

Welcome from Dacotah!

Welcome to the family from Central Oklahoma. Lived in Central VA for a LONG time. Moved out west when I retired. Used to visit Northern VA when I had to, to head up to the Marine Museum in Triangle or to the Base at Quantico for training at the FBI Academy... I would have visited up there a lot more, but the traffic... OMG... the traffic.

You'll love it here, it really is like a family. Jump in and post, as questions, share. Anecdotes, pictures, stories. Pic a thread and jump on it. There are forums for just about anything. Shooting, fishing, hobbies. We cover it all. Unlike some forums, they don't harass you here. Okay, we might pick on you a bit, but all in good fun, you know, like family.
"You call that a fish? That's bait!"

Glad you stopped in.

Welcome from So-Cal. I was just over in your neck of the woods two weeks ago. Actually, Williamsburg, Jamestown and the Yorktown areas.
Beautiful country and LOTS of history in that area. Again, welcome!
