Custom H001

[badrat55]

Here's one of my H001s with a little different appearance.
I picked this thing up dirt cheap and in a fairly neglected condition, I then proceeded to strip the receiver and cover, brushed with 0000 scotchbrite (Renaissance wax afterwards to seal it), large loop lever and added a little extra furniture for a unique look.
I'm still not finished, im going to refinish the stock and give it a nice weathered appearance, along with some hand tooled leather here and there that I will also age for the well worn look

interesting .... unique indeed .... my guess is to load the magazine you have to totally remove the inner tube ..

Yes sir, I normally do anyway, so it doesn't change my loading procedure much

Hey, Badrat.

What very cool customization skills you have at your fingertips. This H001 is sharp-looking, and I look forward to see the "weathered appearance" you plan to add.

Some time, whenever you have all your custom Henrys completed, a group photo would be most interesting, as well. Do you consider customizing rifles to be your hobby along with shooting and/or hunting? If so, you do quite well at it. Thanks for your interesting post.

That's pretty cool. I wonder if it's possible to customize a rifle into an all-weather?

Thanks! I am what I like to call a chronic tinkerer lol
I can't leave anything alone.
I restore vintage motorcycles for a living and build ground up customs.
Be it motorcycles, Hot Rods, guns, woodworking etc. I like to mess with all of it.
Anything to make something unique or more efficient, I am all over it!

I like! That forearm really looks cool.
