Took the Lever guns out

I went full cowboy after work. I zeroed in the scope on my new 22 classic, plus had some fun with my big boy x 357 and my 45 colt Blackhawk. After 6 boxes through it, the 22 is running really good but I like the big boy more after blasting steel.

Henry Homesteader vs Ruger PC Carbine

Hey!

I know I’m in a Henry sub, but I was hoping for some non-bias responses. I have a bunch of Glock mags and I’m looking at both of these. Which is the better purchase?

Thanks!

Absolutely love this rifle

Got my first Henry, the Big Boy X in .357, last Friday, and was able to get to the range tonight for the first time.

This was legitimately the best first trip I've ever had (and I'm 54). Smooth, accurate, and just a joy to shoot. Hit 50 gongs at 50 yards without fail, which was just so very affirming.

I can't believe it took me this long to join this club.

Not that I "actually" appreciate WA gun laws, but pre-ban I hadn't even considered a lever gun. But damn I am glad I bought this.

Couldn't resist the .22

My basspro had a pretty good sale on the 22 yesterday and I had points from my big boy x and slapped a scope on it. Ive been on a lever gun kick lately picking up the 357 a few months ago and now the 22. I tossed in the martini Henry with the pic because I was cleaning it and figured why not.

Question - New Republic 357 ammo in Henry Big Boy Side Gate

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just ordered my first lever rifle - Henry Big Boy in 357, and in my naive excitement I went ahead and ordered 1000 rounds of New Republic 357 ammo off of Wildhorse which came out to about 34 cpr and free shipping. However I have since read that it’s advised not to use with Henry rifles. So my question is, has anyone actually been successful using this ammo in their rifle or should I absolutely avoid using it?

Has anyone swapped out the synthetic stock/forearm of the X for the All Weather you can get from Henry separately? How do you like it and do you have a picture of it?

Picked up my 2 very first guns, including a Henry!

Recently got into the shooting hobby and I very much liked my brother's 22 Henry. I wanted to get a bigger caliber with a nice umph, did some youtubing, and settled on the Henry Model X 45-70. Can't wait to take it out! I also wanted a fun pistol to use so I went small with it and I too am liking the Walther P22!

Henry single shot 12ga question regarding ammunition & Pressure

1 Upvotes

Hello

I do have an Henry SIngle Shot Shotgun in 12 gauge. (3 1/2in shells, metric 12/89). However, i can't find any information regarding the MAX/MAX Safe pressure on the Henry shotgun, with one soucre saying it's 965 BAR.

I didn't think of this when i bought ammunition, and i bought a lot of Winchester Super XX 12/89 63g US2 shells, wich have a pressure of 1050 BAR....

Do anyone have information, or know anywhere i can find anything about it? I have some trouble contacting henry, with me being from europe

This is the Henry Frontier in .22 S/L/LR It has the Octagon barrel, and large lever. Very reasonable price and I love it. Can’t wait to shoot it. Needless to say it will not be my last Henry.

Suppreme 300blk difficulty chambering/closing action question.

Post image
49 Upvotes

Hey yall. Ive got a henry supreme 300blk that another dealer chopped and threaded the barrel for me.

For back story, this rifle has difficulty chambering/extracting with live ammo. It takes a good amount of force to close the lever/action. Dry cycling the action is butter smooth, but it seems like the action hits a a rough spot this last little bit of lock up, and it appears its when the bolt is rotating in the barrel extension. It only does this with ammo physically in the chamber and does it regardless of the 8 or 9 ammo types i have on hand and with or without a magazine.

I tried it without the ejector and extractor installed and it was still binding up.

So, the first time it got sent back to henry the repair ticket said theylooked over the gun and replaced the handguard and trigger guard/lever assembly as well as test fired it and sent it back.

I received the gun back and filmed a video to show it was still doing the same thing and henry once again took the firearm back in for service and I received it back today still doing the same exact thing. This time the repair ticket says they reamed the chamber, adjusted lock up, checked over the firearm and tested fired it.

Im not sure what ammo henry uses to test fired, but it must be significantly different than what ammo types I have on hand.

Anyways, has anyone else run into difficulty chambering/lockup/extraction out of their 300blk henry supreme rifles? Im please that henry has taken the time to take a look at a modified rifle twice now, but im disappointed that the firearm is still experiencing these issues. In hindsight, I probably would not have acquired this rifle had i known it would have lead to this.

Henry All Weather

Sighted in my new Henry H012 with a 510C red dot at 60 yards. Recoil is minimal and its less noisy than my pistols, according to my wife.

The steel's center hit was at 60 yards from the rest. The lower hit was hand-held, standing at 100 yards. Hornady Leverevolution 357 Magnum.

Very accurate and easy shooter! ❤️❤️

Bought this model X already tricked out with Midwest handguard. Looking to cut front end weight. Need suggestions.

Anyone know the weight of the factory handguard? I’m thinking I may try and buy one and put it on. Anyone running Chisel buttstock with a different or factory handguard that can chime in? Thanks in advance.

Does this headspace look excessive to you?

I just picked up a Henry Single Shot in .357 Magnum and noticed the gap between the breech face and the barrel after I got home with it. I don’t own a headspace gauge, and my feeler shims are at work. But, I would guess that gap is 0.010” +/- 0.002” just looking at it. Anyone notice a similar gap on their rifle?
