So I was just driving home from work, minding my own business when all of a sudden I found myself talking to my friend at his gun shop. Next thing I knew, a Big Boy Steel Carbine in .357 was on its way to me. Dammit. Now the Mrs is going to neuter me for sure!
I think I may put my Ruger .44 Carbine up for sale as I haven’t enjoyed shooting it quite as much as I thought I would. I also won’t have any room in the safe for another long gun.
Guess who just had a birthday? We did. Henry Rifle Forums has made it to the 10 year mark. Thank you to all members, I'm glad you are here!

congrats on the 357 .... wish you were on this side of the border, in the interest of helping a fellow preserve his masculinity, I'd take that 44 off of your hands

Not to worry. She'll very likely hang on to her favorite long gun, but your safe will need to make room for that .357. Congratulations.

Best gun ever!
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

If you're serious, I'd be happy to give the .44 a new home...I'm in Ontario, and can arrange the shipping.

Congrats, I think.
Wow, sure glad I cleared my latest one through the wife first that don’t sound good. Not good at all. Good luck. LOL

Yes, that is a funny thing. My wife seems to complain about guns, then she buys me stuff for hunting. Go figure. In any case, congratulations!

Congrats. .357BBS is very versatile and you're sure to be happy (once you get the spouse situation cleaned up). Please keep us posted on your first impressions, range trips, etc. And pics, we need pics!
