Henry Rifle Forums

Hi,

Well, I'm already thinking of getting another Henry. I currently have the BB .357 Color cased with 16" barrel. I am not currently planning on doing any hunting for now, but may in the future I live in NY. This would be another range, home defense rifle. I love the fact that it can hold 10+1 of .44 mag and I've always loved the look and durability of hard chromed guns (1911s specifically). I won't be shooting in the rain anytime soon.

I just found out the same FFL dealer I went to has one in stock for MSRP, but I can probably talk him down a bit since I just bought the .357. Anyone out there own this Henry. How is the finish on this rifle. Is the action the same or slightly slicker?

Thanks

That would be a nice addition. Action ought to be the same. Can't really comment on the finish; it looks durable. A fine rifle, I'm sure.

I was torn between the new BBX and the All Weather. If the AW came with a factory threaded barrel it is what i would own.
It should be a fantastic gun.

I had an AW 45-70. Really liked the looks of it but 45-70 just isnt what I want to shoot much anymore.

I have the AW 45LC, fit to finish is perfect, cycles flawlessly and very accurate. You'll be happy with the AW 44 mag. Just my 2 cents.

I can understand that. Aren't 45-70 cartridges close to $3/round these days?

I havent looked lately but I reloaded my own and didnt buy much factory. Reloading is the way to go for the bigger centerfire ammo.

I too am shocked at ammo prices as of late. I guess that is why I started loading my own and casting my own bullets in the 1969.
