New From Lake Martin Alabama

Post by lamarw » Thu Feb 23, 2017 10:48 am

I just purchased and received my first Henry rifle and decided to join the Forum. I am retired and my hobbies include boating, fishing, antique clock/watch collecting, firearms, reloading and numerous other useless and costly endeavors. We are blessed to live on beautiful Lake Martin, the Crown Jewel of the South East and Alabama's only "Treasured Lake". On one side of us is the 40,000 plus acre lake with 525 miles of shore line and the other side of our property is 7,000 acres of Alabama Powers Company forest. Like many in my age group, I spent a few years with Uncle Sam and a tour in Nam in a jungle clearing unit.

The new rifle is a Henry Big Boy Carbine in .45 Colt. Here is a poor quality picture which also includes my S&W Mountain Gun in .45 Colt.

Hi .... welcome to the Forums! Image

Congratulations on your new Henry rifle - it really is a looker. ;)

It certainly sounds like you are surrounded by nature at its finest. To say I'm feeling envious is an understatement. ;) :D
