Hello, new member from California I just bought my first Henry. I will have in eight days. It is a big boy carbine chambered in .357 magnum. I know nothing about those guns except that they look cool and I shot one once at the range. But the real reason I bought one is because I shoot and reload a .357 magnum Smith and Wesson and I wanted a rifle to match. I bought it used from someone who shot twenty rounds in it. The FFL who did the paperwork asked if it was brand new.

Hey Henri. Welcome from Nebraska. I went the same route as you. My revolver is the Ruger SP101. Pairing your pistol and rifle is a great way to go. And, reloading for 357 is a lot of fun. Enjoy your Henry, and the forum.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Welcome to the forum from a California refugee. I always hated that 10 day waiting period.
