Last year when I was shopping for my 357 BB, I asked a couple stores of they could order one for me. They both basically said - hey if we could order them, they would already be here on the rack. So months later I walk in to check on ammo, and they have one that just came in that morning. I had to snatch it up. I'm wondering if Henry has a big "wheel of fortune" that they spin and decide what stores gets a random shipment that month, lol.fortyshooter wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 6:50 pmInteresting that some large dealers don't have any of the most common caliber Henry side gate rifles yet they pop up at other less known shops.
Congrats on that new 44 Henry!
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: New Side Gate in the House
Congratulations on your find and purchase! I am surprised they had a box of ammo for it.
I bought the Henry BBS .44 Carbine with side gate a couple weeks ago. Walked into a gun shop 20 miles from home and they had 4 Henry BBS Carbines with side gates. Two in .357 and two in .44. They were all priced at $779.99, so I took a .44 without batting an eye. The only ammo the gun shop had in stock was .38 Special blanks.

Re: New Side Gate in the House
Already took to the range - love the kick !
I took two Henrys out yesterday, the 357BBS, and the new 44. The 357 has Fortyshooter's DIY peepsight mod that has already been adjusted and zeroed in. I took 3 shots from the bench with sandbag support at 50 yards and quit right there as I was sure it was beginners luck and wouldn't get any better than that lol. I really like that peepsight mod. It's great for my old eyes that don't focus on 2 things at once.
The 44 was shooting left and low off the paper for the first couple shots. I had to loosen the rear buckhorn sight and tap it a few times with my punch. The first time didn't do anything, but the next two brought it a bit closer. I would have shot a few more to zero it in better but it was 39 degrees and my fingers were getting numb. I'll go back on a warmer day.

Re: New Side Gate in the House
Looking pretty good there, I need tom make a couple of those peeps myself.
One for the Henry 44, and another for My Marlin Cowboy 45 colt.
Thanks for the report.

Re: New Side Gate in the House
Yes, does look good. .44 makes big holes, should do some damage. In either case, I think you would hit, what you would be shooting at.
