Henry H001GG

[Mgderf]

Well, I can't seem to figure out how to post pics on this site.
At any rate, I just brought home a new in the box Henry Garden Gun.
It's a .22lr shot shell only smooth barrel lever action beauty.
I'm not sure, but I think the inner magazine tube may be slightly bent.
It was very difficult to remove and I noticed rub marks on two spots when I got it out
I guess it could be the outer mag tube that is out of straight...
Anybody know where I can find some .22lr shot shells?

Our local Academy sports has had a decent supply as of late.
Haven't been to WW lately. Congrats on the new Henry.

There is some for sale on Ammoseek but they are not cheap. Most cases they are .50 cents a round. To me thats insane

Yeah, that's a little out there.
I'll wait...

Look for the CCI's. They're supposed to be better than the Federal's.
For as often as this type of gun will be used, the ammo is affordable. Definitely not a target shooter or plinker. NOT what it was designed for.

That's right, shoot it to test the function, pattern at a few distances.
Every once in a while just shoot it a few times just for the fun.

Sportsmans Warehouse has CCI "Ship to Home" But at 60 cents per round.

Congratulations on the Garden Gun.
I hope you can find some ammunition that is affordable. I find the GG very useful around my place.

Well, to tell you the truth, I bought this, because...
I saw it sitting in my local gun shop a month ago.
It was still there when I went back two weeks later.
I posted locally about seeing it and answered questions about it's location and price.
It was still on the shelf when I went in yesterday.
But the biggest reason I bought this, was...I didn't have one!


I do now

I wish I could buy a garden gun stock and put it on my h001.

you could contact henry and ask them.

It IS an interestingly different stock.

It's what initially drew my eye toward it.

[Mgderf]

After playing around with my new garden gun more, and showing it off to others, I'm pretty sure I have sold two more of them!
One for sure, it's already been ordered and shipped.
The second just saw it yesterday and said they were going to be looking for one.
It is much more accurate at 25' than I expected.
I can't wait to see just how far I can get it wrung out.

I'm so impressed with it that I emailed Henry to congratulate them on a job well done.

If you've ever had an interest in a garden gun, Henry makes a very nice one.

I also mentioned that I would like to see Henry produce a Homesteader model in both .45acp and 10 mm.

Well, I still love my garden gun, but I needed to send it back to NJ.
It feeds well, shoots great, ejects as advertised, but the tube magazine has issues.
When I first got it home I thought the inner magazine tube was difficult to extract.
I chalked it up to being a new gun, and maybe not enough lube.
I cleaned the inner and outer tubes and lightly greased the outside of the inner tube.
It helped a little, but not enough.
I can insert the inner tube about 4" before it binds up and stops.
It will not drop freely to the bottom like my other Henry's.
I can insert it all the way, and lock the stud, but it requires a good bit of force, and that's just not right.
So, I requested a warranty repair and received a return label in 24 hours.
Box her up and sent her out today.
I know Henry will make it right but I'm a little surprised that it passed "quality control " in it's present condition.
Anyone know what the current turn around time is with Henry customer service these days?

[markiver54]

Not sure about their turn around time is. Maybe someone else will chime in who has had work done recently. For what its worth, I have not had any issues with my GG. Like you said, I'm sure Henry will make it right.

I still wonder if the HRA declining CQ issues are caused by Mr. I no longer being the head man of record or that they are overtaxed trying to produce all of the new models and the revolvers. It seems like there are a lot more being returned to correct things that should have never put in a box and shipped out.

I think the firearms industry has always had QC problems. Now with forums like this the word gets spread much faster about issues.

[leverjc]

I had the same problem with the mag tube on my Frontier, halfway down it got very tight. I cleaned it and used dry lube and it slides in easier. Just like you I think it should just slide down. Henry's response time is usually fast maybe one or two weeks.
