Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
H006M
H006M
Several months ago, I gave my grandson a Golden Boy. I was much impressed with the finish and buttery smooth action, so yesterday I got myself a Big Boy .357 Magnum H006M.
Very disappointing. Stock had a gouge and was also irregularly shaped near a knot. Magazine tube was very rough, and the action was sloppy loose, noisy, and felt like it had sand in it, Trigger was heavy, but OK. Will shoot it this weekend. I am optimistic though. Fancy furniture will take care of the gouge and knot. And I think some shims, Marlin springs, and a few wipes with an Arkansas stone will go a long way toward curing the lousy action. The gun itself is rather attractive.

Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes is rapidly becoming a reality (11/2023). Para Bellum.
Re: H006M
I can understand. I look at one a few years ago. I was not crazy about finish; it was not as polished as expected. Plus, I was leaning toward something with a side loading gate. So, I left it there. I ended up with a Marlin 1894CS. So far, I am happy with it. Hopefully, it will shoot fine for you!

Re: H006M
Yes, finding .357 ammo locally has been a challenge for me also. Most times, I use online sites (a few links below). Prices may not be the best. But, availability is okay. Anyway, happy shooting!
