Ok Guy's/Girl's
As you probably read on my first post (Tax Time Again, Time for a new Henry) well I have been working on it ever since buy it. I am a shorter fella so I always have to cut the LOP down to 12.5" which I did on this rifle. Bought a used Military style sling for it that was shortened by someone. I had lengthen it back to an original length with some leather that I sewed in. I originally bought a Henry saddle ring, they are good for the 22's but a little small for the BB rifles. While drilling the receiver for the saddle ring I broke the tap off in the hole. Oops, so I ordered a Winchester that took a bigger hole and tap and re drilled and tapped the same hole in the receiver.
So here is what was done.
1. Sling put on
2. Saddle ring ( which I put on all my rifles, yes a bling kind of thing)
3. Marble Bullseye rear sight
4. Cut LOP to 12.5"
5. Wrapped the Big Loop Lever
Rifle fits perfect and can't wait to get it out to my range this weekend.
