New 72 year old Henry owner

Dirko · Post by **Dirko** » Mon May 25, 2020 4:01 pm

I am a new Henry owner. I bought my first rifle this month. I have a H004. Golden Boy with a Vortex scope. Eye sight is not what it used to be! Not a hunter, but love to go to the range. This is a sweet rifle and I love it! My wife of over 51 years passed a year ago. She didn't want weapons in the house and I respected that. Now it's just me and the cat. I'm from Davenport Iowa by the way retired from Alcoa (Arconic).

Welcome to the forum from CT, Dirko. Congratulations on your new Henry and you have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your wife. My darling wife of 44 years passed away nearly three years ago and I, too, grieve alone in our home with a cat. We're both still working it out. I hope you're getting along, too.

Welcome from MS. If you haven't watched the Henry Maintenance video's on their site, you should. They make disassembly, cleaning, and assembly much easier.

I'm from Davenport Iowa by the way retired from Alcoa (Arconic).

I was in aluminum anodizing for 30 years and worked for several companies but never Alcoa. May I ask what you did at Alcoa?

I was an electrician by trade, went into management and last 16 years was a maintenance planner in Plate Finishing.

Alcoa...big company. I did some work for them for a few years. Was structurally designing packaging for their retail products.
Tin foil etc.

Of course Alcoa bought Reynolds. Then they split and I was working for Arconic.
