First Henry - Evil Roy 22LR

Post by QB Too » Tue Jan 17, 2017 1:34 pm

I picked up my Evil Roy and then watched videos for disassembly and lubing. Of course I got a patch stuck in the barrel (using an OTIS system) and spent 30 minutes trying to find a dowel small enough to fit and punch it out (which I finally did) :x . I was hoping to shoot it this weekend but didn't get a chance to so hopefully next Saturday I can give it a workout.

I didn't do a full disassembly (i.e. trigger, hammer, etc), just removed the stock, receiver, bolt and cleaned the barrel which was amazingly dirty.

Once back from the range I'll post my results. I love the length of this rifle (13" LOP) and the action seems very smooth, balance is nice. Fit and finish was perfect. I really like the brushed aluminum receiver and the wood grain is nice. I may put Skinner peeps on it or a little Aimpoint H-1. But perhaps the stock sights will be fine, I'll shoot it awhile and see how I like them. I've never used those kind of sights nor the Skinner peeps.

I don't mind the "Evil Roy" etching on the stock, I shoot left handed so really no one will see it when I'm shooting. I wanted the 13" LOP/intermediate length stock so this one fit the bill. The serial number is marked EVILROYxxxx.

My other choice when looking to buy was the Small Game Carbine because it had the Skinner sights but I wanted the 13" LOP and didn't really want to cut down the stock. I'm not sure if I can purchase an intermediate size (13" LOP) stock from Henry or not, guess I could call them.

Here's a quick picture, sorry for the poor quality and "shadows", I'll try to get a better picture this weekend.

Thanks for your impressions of your very first Henry. I think you're going to love that rifle and I look forward to your range reports.

I looked at one before I bought the Monument Valley edition. I like the Evil Roy and the name on the stock didnt bother me at all. Besides that if you dont like that name theres a number or guys that would build you a nice leather stock cover for it. Al

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Henry sells replacement stocks and you can pick up a youth stock.

Are youth stocks 12.5" LOP or something else? The ER intermediate stock LOP is 13" and seems to fit me perfectly and I was wondering if that size stock could be purchased from Henry (the 13" LOP). I guess I should just call them and ask :)
