Henry Rifle Forums

I finally got the Henry I've wanted since the 2019 NRA Indy Show - the H12 Case Hardened Carbine in .44 Mag!

I really like it, it's very smooth and has a very nice trigger. The sights weren't friendly to my old eyes, so I installed an EGW mount and an Ultra Dot red dot I had from my Bullseye shooting days.

I also didn't like the buttplate pad, and that's the reason I looked this forum up; to see if there was a more normal buttplate to replace it with. I saw a couple threads inquiring about it also, but didn't find a remedy. Doing some research and finding a bunch of options for sale, but none from Henry, I settled on one I found on eBay for a Marlin. If anyone's interested in details, I can do another post about it. Anyway, I like the look and feel of it better.

If I can figure out how to post pics I'll put a couple up. Edit: got it to work. Another edit:replaced crappy pic.

Welcome to the forum. Yes pictures are good but I am not the person to try to explain how to do it.

Welcome to the forum. Glad you found us.

Thanks for the welcome. Resized them from my phone before sending them to my 'puter via email. Seemed to work!

Edit: replaced with better pic.

Welcome! I also have an H12 in CCH, though in 45 Colt. Best rifle I have.

Thanks Mags. I gave up my favorite rifle to get this, but it went to my son so it wasn't so bad.

I wanted a .44 to go along with these.

I did similar, to go with a pair of 45 Colt caliber revolvers.

Welcome!!!

Welcome to the forum from Wisconsin’s ice age. Those pistols will go nicely with the Henry.

Thanks Sir Henry. It's finally thawing out here. Now I need to get some dies and do some reloading for 'em!

Welcome from Dacotah!

That’s a caliber I’ve never reloaded.

Welcome from the eastern side of the state of Washington. The optic on your Henry looks great, perfect size for it.

Thanks for the warm welcome and comment Hatchdog. It's more old school, so I think it fits pretty good. And it sure helps me get on target quicker!

Congrats on the new rifle and welcome.
