New Member From Central Virginia

Post by BrokenolMarine » Sat Nov 26, 2016 6:52 pm

A new member from central VA, a 100% disabled veteran of the Marine Corps. I spent my post military time teaching firearms to both LE and civilians. I am now retired. I bought two Henry rifles to start my collection this past year. The first was the Golden Boy 22. The second quickly followed, a BigbBoy Carbine in 357 with Skinner Sights. Both are tack drivers.

Glad to have found the forum.

Thanks all. I chose the 357 as my second Henry because I was already set up to load that caliber. After years of competition... I was good for a lot of pistol... but no rifle calibers. Even the wife, after shooting the Big Boy carbine said, "Geez, that's fun!"

From the Show-Me-State...
Welcome and thanks very much for your service.

Great choice in the Henry .357 Carbine. Will be fun to read your range reports, and see some pictures of your rifles.
