_WELCOME!_.jpg
Greetings from the Show-Me-State!

Just finished cleaning my .45LC revolver...really like that caliber, and should be great to shoot out of your new 1ST Henry. Congrats!

My two Henry Carbines are in .22LR and .357 Magnum. Over the years have mainly shot .357 mags, and always have liked shooting a .357 revolver or .357 Henry rifle. But .45LC is sure becoming a "competitive" caliber lately for me!! ;)

You'll find a lot of good Folk here, but you already know that since they helped "motivate" you to get your first Henry! :D

Welcome from KC! One of the biggest surprises for me with my new Henry a few weeks back was how little there is to lube and how relatively low temp (and cleanly) they operate compared to handguns. Post range trip cleaning is a breeze!
You'll find this to be a great place, with lots of very knowledgeable folks who are very willing to share their experiences.
Congrats!
