help me while I'm waiting for my Henry!

I ordered a Henry BBS carbine in 357 through my LGS last Saturday and now am waiting!
Reading the Henry Forum is getting me very excited. Can you all help me deal with the impatience!?

Welcome! Have you tried looking for accessories yet? You may come across somethings that could come in handy once it arrives or just nice to have.

You could always pass the time by looking to see which Henry you're going to buy next. ;)

You could do worse than one of these very cool slings.
The bullet loops are a perfect fit, the sling adds to the traditional good looks of our rifles.
Love mine, although for my big self I'd like it to be a few inches longer..

Nope. No helpin’ you. Yer just gonna have to wait. And, when you get the gun, pics and a range report are required.

Start reloading for it. If you don't reload, you're gonna need to start. That Henry is going to make you want to shoot lots and lots of .357.

Buy a thousand pieces of brass from Starline, a thousand bullets from Meister, a thousand primers from CCI, a container of Trail Boss and reload while you wait.
