I have contacted Anthony in the past because I was wondering if they will ever build Henry with a side loading gate and his reply was quite negative. "NO" was his reply.
I purchased a Henry a week or so ago and was very impressed with it after a brief inspection and then later that day I really went over the rifle and pictures below is what I found;
Meanwhile having what I think is an issue and posted this thread on other forums and at rimfire central, while I thought it was a problem and I would think Anthony and Henry would think the same, a few comments came back at me and told me to "quit whining" and such, either way if I was an owner of a Multi-million $ company I "wound not" want crap like this to go out representing my name and would want someone to tell me about things like this.
I email Anthony a few days ago;
Anthony, (1) maybe you remember or not and maybe thousands of people have asked you the same thing. It was about if Henry will ever install a loading gate, I could tell you didn't particularly care for that question. Not having a loading gate is what kept me from buying a Henry for a long time. Since then I have looked at Henry's but never really "looked" at them and they always seemed to be a very beautiful firearm. I am a Winchester "fanboy" and still love them.
(2) Any ways my question is;
Is this a typical standard practice part of Henry's workmanship?
I email him the same pictures I posted on this thread.
Anthony's reply I got this morning;
1. In keeping with the original Henry design, which was tubular feed, we have made all of model same way. It doesn’t rule out a side gate on a new model in the future. We will keep you posted.
2. No that’s not what I expect to see in our wood to metal fit. Email me your phone, name, and street address and reminder to send (1) GB1051F and (1) GB1052F replacement stocks. Lets see if that resolves. If not, we go to plan B. I am passing your photos on to our engineering staff. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Anthony Imperato
President
Henry Repeating Arms
