Hello from Nantes, France...

Post by BruniX » Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:31 am

Hello everyone,
A real pleasure to join this forum.

I should receive in January my Henry 45-70 brass lift action with octagonal barrel!

After a difficult search in France, (this model is not imported except special request with frightening delays),
I ended up ordering it in Germany ...

I am very impatient and excited to receive it, it is currently for leisure use and sport only.
I do not hunt now.

I intend to practice reloading, it interests me a lot and it will be necessary given the price of munnitions here!
(never done)...

Apologize for translation (french speaking ... :mrgreen: )

Welcome BruniX. We all understand the pain of waiting for the rifle. May not take as long here, but still the same.

I too, have just started the reloading process. There is a lot to learn.

Enjoy your Henry!
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Welcome from the Show-Me-State, BruniX.

Congrats on your success in ordering the Henry .45-70. You'll be joining others here that are enjoying that caliber rifle.

According to our "Flags" window at bottom of the Board Index, which shows our home countries, I see you are the first person who may raise the French flag. We'll look forward to hearing about your shooting experiences in your country, as well.

Anticipating with you the arrival of your Henry! :D

welcome indeed .... delighted to have you join our forum .... my guess is your term "lift action" is what we call a lever action .... as you will learn, loading your own ammo opens up new worlds for a 45-70 .... ours is one heck of a rifle .... I'm in the process of developing a range load for it which is fun to fire .... please let me know if I can be of any assistance .... once yours arrives please look up our How Many ? thread (link below) and add it to our community's total

Welcome to the forum from the TV Oregon. You did good with your English! Love brass! Looking forward to hearing more about your experiences with your Henry and anything else you want to share. Lot of life's topics here not everything is Henry.

Thank you all, very nice welcome!
actually a lot of translation errors, for example, between lift action and lever action :-)
I send you photos, as soon as the rifle will be received!

I posted a new message
Henry 45-70 brass raise safe & good reloading for newbies in the "reloading rubric"
because actually I'm sure that I need help and your experiences to not blow me up by shooting with ammunition reloaded :shock:

I think it was a good choice, henry rifles seem very good workmanship and very well finished ...

see y soon, and do not hesitate to correct me for the language errors :mrgreen:

I make more typo errors than you do in traslation errors, so you are in good company :D. I read your reload post. Since I don't reload I didn't have anything to say there. There are passionate reloaders on here, so I expect you'll get a lot of advice.

to danwin22, for fun :

curious law in France:

to buy any class C equipment, such as a rifle ... :

a valid shooting license is required. one month two months whatever...
OK why not....

initially, I could have been interested in buying a big boy in 357 magnum, to be able, 6 or 7 months later, to acquire a revolver of the same caliber to make shooting at the sports club. well to reload, one caliber only....

BUT ...

the handgun ammunition is classified in France in category B, so it takes at least 1 year shooting club ... and the agreement of the club president to be able to get buy right.....

OK why not....

BUT, and, it's fun, 44 MAGnum is NOT in B category but in C, so I could have bought a big boy 44 and ammo right now :twisted:

unfortunately the ruger redhawk 44 OR s&w 29 stay in category B !!!!
the error is not complete ... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

BruniX, sounds complicated. You have to be serious about being a gun owner in Europe.

Looking at ammo on my shelves I see various .22, .25, .380, .38, .357, 30-30, .40, .44, .45 and 9mm.
