Not new to Henry Rifles, as I own a Big Boy .44 mag carbine and a .44 mag Mare's Leg. I am new to the forum, or I should say, newly returned to the form. Love shooting both of my Henry firearms. I live in Georgia, by way of Louisiana. I love cowboys, westerns, motorcycles (Harley owner), bird watching in my back yard, and a passel of other things. With weapons, my interest lie in self/home defense and range time. Look forward to gaining much information and fellowship with fellow Henry owners.

Hi all,
Thanks for the add. I am from Chippewa Falls Wisconsin, & lucky enough to live near the Henry plant in Rice Lake I have 2 Henry 30-30’s, I purchased 3 Golden Boy 22’s —one for myself, & one for each of my Grandsons. Both of my 30-30’s have the “W” in their serial number. From what I understand, the first 100 off the line in Rice Lake were offered to employees only. Does anybody know if this is true? I have serial number 115

Welcome to the forum from CT. Glad you joined us. If no one here knows the answer to that question, a quick call to Henry CS will likely do it. Let us know the answer if you learn it from them; that is, if you don't learn it from one of us first. ;)

Hello Folks,
I'm glad to be here and tell you all about my Henry's and how I finally came about them.
Well, I live in the beautiful state of New Hampshire! I am just a lover and admirer of Guns! I bought my first rifle about 17 years ago. A Marlin 30-30 manufactured in North Haven. CT.
I loved that rifle since the day I bought it. I'm proud to say, I still have it and my feelings haven't changed a bit. Since I purchased that 336, I found myself attracted to other firearms. I always wanted one of those fancy Henry Rifles.

To be honest I was turned off because of the lack of a loading gate. Now when I saw Henry come out with a set of rifles with the loading gate, I decided to get one. Well they're a bit hard to find. I finally found one on Gunbroker and purchased that baby right away! The .38-55. I'm glad I did too! Very nice rifle! I unboxed it , and to my surprise it was dirty! I mean filthy. I went to cleaning it up, and found a big scuff on the butt plate. I was pretty upset. I had wanted a Henry rifle for all those years, and I was not happy. I called Henry and they were nothing short of AWESOME! They couldn't do enough for me. I sent them pictures and everything, so they knew my frustration. They offered to have the rifle returned to them. I told them i didn't like the idea of waiting. I mentioned the obvious. I thought. To just send me a new butt plate. Well the butt plates are fitted to each stock. So they said. We"ll send you a New Stock!!! I couldn't believe it. I actually told them i thought that was not necessary as of yet. I wanted to try and polish it first. So they sent me free polish! It worked! What fantastic customer service! The very best I have ever seen with any company in my 56 years on this planet! I was so happy I bought another Henry!
I now am the Very Proud owner of a .38-55 side gate , and a Big Boy Classic chambered in .357 Magnum/ 38 special!
Yup I have the H024-3855 and the H006M!
These two Babies sit along side my Marlin 336 .30-30, Marlin 1895CB .45-70, Smith and Wesons Model 27, M&P 9 2.0 , M&P 380 EZ SHIELD 2.0, and model 642.
Now I'm strongly considering the Henry H018-410R. Nice little shotgun.
I'm glad to be here and I'm glad to be a proud owner of two Henry rifles. As well as a responcible and proud Gun Owner!
Thanks All!
