Hello. I am new to the group. I just ordered my 1st Henry. A Big Boy color cased hardened rifle in .44 mag. Any others that own a CCH? And your thoughts on them.

we have both a BBS 357, a BBS 44 Mag, and a CCH 45-70 .... knowing what I know now, I wish all three were CCH's .... be sure to add your Henry to our community's total at the link below

Congrats on the new Henry, and Welcome to the forum.
I'm hoping they offer the sidegates in CCH at some time.
Would love to have one in 38-55.

I have the CCH 45-70 and a 357 in the carbine model. I agree with Jim all of mine would be the CCH if they were available when I bought some of the others. Welcome to the forum glad you joined us.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! I have two Henry CCH's (45-70 and 30-30) and I love them, they are beautiful rifles! I am also looking forward to some day getting a Big Boy in CCH. One note though, the case hardening doesn't really protect the metal like bluing does and the case hardening can rust if not protected from moisture. I keep one in a humidity controlled gun safe and the other is on display. The one on display I lightly coat with oil, and check every now and then.

Welcome from KC! I got my 30-30 CCH last in 2018 in time for deer season. Didn't get one, but it sure felt cool up in the stand.

New member from Delaware. I've ordered a color case hardened .357 Big boy carbine that should arrive next week. I'll update the totals page then. This CCBB should match my Cimarron .357 El Malo birdshead with a 3.5" octagon barrel and case hardened frame. I'll post pics if I can then. I've also ordered a Bobby Tyler case hardened tomahawk from Tyler Gun Works to go with the set. As you know Bobby Tyler does the case hardening for the Henry receivers. Bobby can also case harden a Skinner blue sight to go with the case hardened receiver.

I put this in New Members but it should go here.

Do you think this will go with the .357 Color Case Hardened Big Boy carbine?????

My wife gave me a BB Case in .357 for Christmas.
It's beautiful, smooth and very accurate. I'm sitting here admiring it at this moment. I just love it!

You will too.

Who can tell me if the colors on the H.R.A. rifles are the real thing or chemically done like a lot of the imported revolvers.
