Henry Quality?

[BigAl52]

Having a bad experience leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. All my handguns came Ruger even the ones I traded to get a Henry Big Boy Brass 357. I became my older brothers mentor as far as guns were concerned. He bought a Ruger SP101 8 shot 22 lr because I had one. His fired 5 rounds, on the 6th round it locked up and could not be fired. Had to be sent back to Ruger twice before it was right. Poor workmanship for a new purchase, it took several weeks to get it back. He said no more Rugers.

Ive sent as many Rugers back as I have Henry's. Ive bought 4 5th wheel trailers and have taken them all back for problems within the first year of ownership. Should I half to after paying the price for them you do? No. Its not a perfect world and there is humans involved. The guy at the top is depending on his crew to do things right. Doesnt happen. Some people are just there for friday and the paycheck. Their pride in the work they do isnt there for one reason or another. Ive been around them and anyone thats worked with a group of people knows exactly what I am talking about.

I'm not all that thrilled with this thread. I'm sorry that there have been so many problems.

I've got a Henry Long Ranger that I need to send back. My .357 lever guns are more accurate then this .308.

Sorry to hear you're unhappy. I do not, however, think you will find another firearm manufacturer that will go above and beyond Henry to satisfy you.
If you have to send it back...please do so and report back and let us know how it goes.

All of these problems are unfortunate. I guess my thinking is, that Henry does make a quality firearm and don't regret my purchaces at all.
I'll bet you can be sure that ALL the major manufacturers have had their issues. Nothing is perfect. I'm not dis-crediting some issues....just sayn'
Companies are run by Human Beings, and we all know about them!

I'm wondering, after reading your responses to this thread, are you employed by Henry? You seem to excuse away everybody's problems for Henry.

No.. not an employee, although I wouldn't mind being one. Just keeping things in perspective. Nothing is perfect. My own experiences with them have been positive. Just expressing my opinion. Not many things are faultless.

ol' pole, it might be he hasn't had any issue with his Henry's and this is a Henry forum. Sure, some have had problems; it happens as we all know.
I'm not seeing anyone knock the defenders of Marlin rifles for the most part, but they certainly defend them. And thats fine. Mark will be along and give his side here. Let's try not to be too harsh is all I'm trying to say. Hope you understand.
