Excellent! That adds a a lot to the appearance. Henry makes some great looking stocks.

Paul,

That is an understatement. The plastic ones are heftier than i thought, but in no way do they ad anything to the rifle. IMHO they are only a detractant. Apparently enough folks think the way i do, that Henry is now making this specific item set a purchase option on their website.

Stock, Forend, End cap.

a month ago you had to buy the stock from one rifle, the forend from another, and the cap all separately. I passed because i wanted to pick up the 357.

When i called back they said, we have a kit now, and it will be on the website soon, or you can jump through a couple of hoops to get it all to you.

I jumped.

Does the composite furniture effect the rifle performance over the wood?

DsGrouse - thanks for the heads up on the wood furniture. I ordered on a Thursday and had the parts by Saturday - talk about fast service.

Fairly easy swap with a few hints from youtube. I'm ready to ditch the red dot, rail, fiber optic sights, and nylon sling for a more traditional look with a front brass bead sight, rear buckhorn or peep sight, and a nice leather sling. Might even shave down the barrel thread and get rid of the thread protector since I have no plans to hang a suppressor off the end. Now my H012X looks as good as it shoots!

All i can say is try it with a can. recoil is 30% less. and sound is at least 50% less. It makes shooting a crazy amount of fun.

So it is for looks not for functionality from what I'm gathering reading this.

Is any fitting necessary, or is it just unscrew plastic parts, screw on wood parts?
