Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

……….. Question does anybody think this will get settled to my satisfaction?? :?: :?:
Yes. No doubt.
I wonder how many times and how many rifles will go back and forth before Henry steps up and actually corrects the problems ???
my first rifle went back & forth 3 times before they replaced it with a rifle with the same design problem with the feed & ejection, the current rifle has traveled 3 times already.
I might be wrong, but I think that what a company advertises in their catalogs and web site should be the minimum standard not a special made computer enhanced representation of what you really get.

I sent my BBS in 357 back to Henry 4 times with barrel problems finally they refunded my money and gave me a new rifle. The new rifle has a rough bore with some chatter and what looks like scale. All I really wanted was a good, accurate rifle. I do not believe I am satisfied.

I agree you should not be doing this time and time again but if you arent satisfied and the rifle is not accurate I would be on them again and again until I was. Just sayin

That is the issue with mass production, maintaining quality. How does it shoot?

I think that the Q.C. seeing eye dog was at the vet for a check up when those rifles were made. He was formerly employed at remlin and look what happened to them. That being said I have two rifles from H.R.A. a Big Boy Steel .44 and a pump .22 and they have worked perfectly since day one.I think that someone should be doing some serious a kicking in the factory .

The whole barrel looks like those pics. The first 20 or so rounds it shoots ok but the more I shoot the worse the accuracy gets. The good news is the misses for last 20 shots at the silhouettes I can blame on the rifle. lol I just can't deal with Henry anymore, I just wish Winchester or Uberti were more available.

Shame on H.R.A. for treating you like this.I was self employed for all of my working years and one thing I learned is that it takes years to build a good reputation but only one unhappy customer to trash it. You gave them several chances to correct their mistakes but as I said in my previous post I guess the seeing eye dog didn't care.
