Henry Rifle Forums

Hey-hey! I got my new Henry carbine (H012MR) yesterday. It was built in Rice Lake, WI, USA. Plan to contact Henry RAC this week and get the "born date." In the meantime, I spent a pleasant afternoon today cleaning the rifle, then went onto the patio to take some "showing-off-pictures" of this Henry. The photo shoot turned out pretty well.

The first thing I need to say is that I have a "wooden" tongue, and cannot find the words to describe how beautifully made the wood furniture is on the rifle --- color, grain pattern, and especially the checkering. So without those best words, following are the photos.

That's all for today....just this photo shoot. My next post on this carbine will be the first-time range report --- might have the chance to get out one day this week. I've not only been off the Forum for a while, but I've not shot my firearms either for quite some time.

Take care, and have a great week ahead!

Henry Steel .357 Magnum Carbine (H012MR)

beautiful indeed .... OK, a good bit more than beautiful .. .. please be sure to add her to our community total in our How Many? thread

Congratulations, PT7. I'm very excited for you and look forward to your next range report!

You made me drool on my iPad..... again.
I should just keep windex and paper towels handy when I check in here.
When I do "pull the trigger" on a center fire Henry it will be a .357 and the steel carbine really appeals to me.

Congrats, PT-7 - that is a really nice looking Henry in a great caliber. You are going to have a lot of fun with that rifle. I've got one in 44Mag that is hard to put down - you don't even have to shoot it - just hold it and cycle it - it makes you feel good just looking at it when it's laying on the coffee table...

Work of art. Look forward to your range reports. Congratulations on this gorgeous rifle. Love the down the barrel view.

Yeah, I think I want to start a thread on the 357 steel carbine. Maybe a fan club. It is just that good a piece. An all purpose rifle, good for plinking, hunting, and self-defense.

GREAT looking .357! I want one! Thanks for posting the pictures.

Great looking Henry. I have a BBS .357. It has turned into my favorite rifle. So much fun and cheap to reload and shoot. I hope you enjoy your's as much as I do.

Nice PT7. 357 leverguns are just pure fun and I hope you enjoy your day at the Range. I think the 357 leverguns belong in every levergun lovers safe. Al

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it will shoot as good as it looks, too. Let us know.

Crisp checkering, nice wood. Time to shoot.

Very nice PT17, Very nice!
Do you plan on doing any hunting with it or........?
Either way its a fine looking Henry

Sgt Recoil

That's the model I like.

Impressive checkering.

I purchased one of these about 2 weeks ago. It is my first Henry! I absolutely love it and it shoots great too!

A work of Art! Love mine in every way to Sunday.

And they shoot as good as they look. remarkable indeed.

Congratulations - after a year of going back and forth I finally bought a Big Boy Steel in .357. It's my 1st centerfire rifle, and I'm stoked! I compared it to a Marlin at the store, and it was like day and night, this thing is BUILT! And the action is like butter.

If you haven't started a fan club yet, I just might!

Cheers

Very nice but a recoil pad on a ,357 ?

at our son's request, I started training our oldest grandson to shoot a couple of years ago when he was 7 years old .... from day one, I've never permitted him to shoot any firearm with more kick than a 22LR .... as part of the process I had Henry customize a BBS 357 for him .... I'm a huge fan of its OEM recoil pad and if it hadn't of come with one, I'd of had one installed
