New from Alabama

Hi all! Thanks to BigAl52 for telling me about this forum. I’ve recently gained an interest in Henry Rifles and started acquiring them for myself slowly. The fit and finish are superb. I am from Huntsville, Alabama and am retired Army. I have an FFL and currently use it mainly for collecting, but do sell some too. My goal is to open a shop here in town that offers gunsmith services as well as sales. My wife is big into making soaps, lotions, and other wood crafts like signs and small plaques. We recently went to Gatlinburg, and on the way we decided that it would be interesting to not only open a gun shop, but also offer her line of soaps, lotions, and crafts too. The thought is that we would offer something for everyone, not just appeal to those who like firearms. I’m about halfway through my gunsmith certification, so I know just enough to be really bad at it. I look forward to interacting with other members and gaining as much knowledge about Henry as possible. Thanks. David

It will be cool 8-) to have a certified gunsmith as a Henry member. Be sure to let us know when your training is done. I'm certain the Qs will be heading your way.....just to help you further learn and get established, of course! ;)
