Greetings From Oklahoma!

Hello all, my name is Scott from Oklahoma. I sit dead center in the Muskogee Creek Nation reservation.

It’s refreshing to see some “handles” I recognize from another forum which will go unnamed.

My pursuit of collecting firearms began on April 24, 2024, and I’m ashamed to admit that I out kicked my coverage. An inordinate amount of NIB Colt handguns from 1898 to 2024, from .22’s to 10mm’s it is expansive. As far as Colt’s I seem partial to those born between 1950 to 1985.

I do have a very special Ruger, a stainless steel Single Six in .17HMR with a 5 1/2” barrel of which only 117 were produced.

I have an affinity for bespoke London shotguns, namely J. Purdey & Sons, Frederick Beesley, and Holland & Holland (which I am quietly holding my breath for because there is a caveat concerning it).

About a month ago I ordered my first Henry, a H006G. A H004 will be delivered today.

So, I’m happy to be here, and here’s a cup of coffee (my wife made for me with her sublimation printer & press).

Welcome to the Henry Family. Jump right in and post. You'll find this a friendly environment. You won't get hassled here, the Mods don't allow it. Some might pick on you, but in a friendly way, like family. (That's not a fish, that's bait. :lol: )
WE are also in Oklahoma, South East of OKC in the hills, outside an actual Ghost Town. We have hay Fields and cows for neighbors. We love it.

Thank you. Lots of Colts get passed down. I’m sure he’ll cherish it when that time comes…hopefully not soon.
