Henry Rifle Forums

I happened to see in a thread about the Homesteader, that someone said that the forend was plastic. It struck me as odd, so I sent an email to Daniel Clayton-Luce at Henry.

His response was very quick. The forend is walnut. It is hollow, according to him.

I'm glad to hear this from Henry. I wanted to put it here for everyone.

Thanks Dan.


P.S. He said that .45 acp has been the most requested caliber. I had added my request with the stock question.

Thank you Dave!
I don't think I'll be lucky enough to ever own one, but that is nice to know. I couldn't imagine Henry mixing plastic and walnut.

Think that plastic fore-end was made in reference to an old Marlin.

Good to hear and thanks Dave for clearing that up. For what Henry is asking for this gun I would think it should be wood.
