You won’t see this firearm anywhere else. I made it about 15 years ago from a .22LR M’sL and a .22WMR Frontier rifle.

The sun is barely up and I’m outside in the 27F temperature shooting. Yes I know I should be fixing the toilet. This is all forty’s fault for asking why to few range reports.

Happiness is a warm gun.
Bang. Bang. Shoot. Shoot.

Wow has it been 15 years already! I remember following your build thread on this unique Henry.
That is the gun that got me interested in getting a Mares Leg. Absolutely one of my favorite fun guns.

I remember it, too, Seabee. We three go back a long ways.

Well if you actually count it could only be 10 to 12 years. I was fixing the house up in Ephrata at the time.

Didn’t I come out for a visit in 2017? It was five years ago this December that I drove back across US8 thinking this is beautiful country not ever thinking I would move here. It’s the main reason I picked this area once I decided to leave the worst coast.

Pretty sure it was 2017. Sounds about right. No argument about it being beautiful. :)
