I like it. What kind of finish?
Like the dull not shiny look.

H001T Frontier. Got creative. I know the barrel band and the receiver cover were painted black and decided to strip them
with aircraft remover and a brass wire brush. I found a smooth aluminum like surface underneath which I could have easily
cleacoated to look great. Decided on Rustoleum Warm Gold. Feather sanded with 600 grit wet/fry, cleaned them with acetone, primed and sprayed color. Very happy with the results. Rustoleum claims handle time 8 hours but it takes a week or
two to really harden.

Looks great, really like the matte gold finish.

Thanks Hatchdog, I wanted something as close to brass as I could get.

Good job!

yes, that is a good job. Very good. And you don't have all the drop in the rear like the Golden Boy has. Nice work.

I did something similar, instead I left it silver and let it tarnish a bit then clear coated.
Kinda like an Evil Roy before there was such a thing. Then I added a saddle ring.

I was actually at my local gun shop looking at a Golden Boy today. Beautiful gun! I have a Henry Frontier and I may also strip the black paint. You did a great job with your Frontier.

[SittingBull]

Thanks RichG87. I knew that the receiver was painted already so that could be redone. Unlike brass or case hardened
steel. I wouldn't mess with that. Once everything was prepped I hung the pieces on a metal wire clothes hanger. 3 light coats of primer and then color.....Rustoleum Warm Gold.

Very nice, ya did good!

[Vaquero]

Well if I ever get another Henry 22, I'ma steal'n this idea.
Think one of them octagon barreled jobs would look pretty cool.

Nice quality customizing of making your gun the way you want it. Looks beautiful!

I like it. Less stock angle and a grooved receiver for much closer scope mounting than the Golden Boy.

Looks very nice....

At one time Henry offered the H001 receiver cover and barrel band in brasslite. I like yours better.

Here is my 20” Frontier with a Malcolm scope and custom Rio Bravo large loop.

Amazing job on that man! I just bought a Henry h001 installed the big lever and after seeing your rifle I'm going to have to steal that idea because it looks sweet.
