Pappy348. Why in the hell would you even be interested in a Henry product at all if you feel they have quality "issues"? Why not stck to your Jap Brownings and let others support new American made products? You don't seem to have the stomach for it anymore...
Did you miss the 1980s? Geezus ..Ruger and Browning both were sometimes YEARS behind actually getting new models on shelves.
Honestly, Anthony I . deserves a vacation as much as anyone and frankly he owes you NOTHING because you have are not out one thin dime on this.
Apparently you and some others here just want to bitch...
GFY and your little dog too...
What fresh Hell is this?

Wow.
That's brilliant.
I am sure Henry is excited to build a rifle for a person of your stature ..

Well, they'd better get crackin' then. I've got a powerful urge for another one of those finely-crafted Miroku 1885s.

Tomorrow is officially mid-September. Just sayin'.
However, I see four single shot shotguns for sale on gunbroker, all .410's. Search for "henry h015". Asking price is $340-$360 and the wood looks better than 90% of the Ruger #1's being made. A ray of hope...
Added: the MSRP for the shotguns and rifles is the same - $427 - so I'm guessing this is a good indicator of the street price for the rifles whenever they show up.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I saw one at the pre-opening preview at the new Cabelas in El Paso yesterday, so there are probably a few floating around.

And, I can wait. Might try a 30/30 if and when. Might not. New models can have a few glitches too. Those faint of heart buyers may want to give it a year.

The delay has cost them at least one sale this year, to me. I can only assume there's a design issue or some other snag that doesn't bode well for early purchasers, especially since the email I sent about it got the usual gobbledygook response, not an explanation.

Very few guns ever Hit the street in big numbers as planned. Don't know why, just the way it goes.

I was on the Henry site the other day. It now says "shipping mid September" on the single shots.

I have an urge for another single shot. I really like the Jap 1885s, but I also have a thing for rifles that come apart in the middle. I would like to fondle the Henry before buying something else that I really don't need.

Cabelas claims to have some.

They are all listed as "Backorderable". A couple of online dealers, I think Grab-a-gun may be the other one, have shown them on their web sites for a few months now but listed as "Out of stock".
I really would like to see one because I think they will be well made rifles and am sorry they are having such problems getting them to production, but they have sort of shot themselves in the foot with "shipping in May", "shipping in August", "shipping in mid-September"...

As per Patrick at Henry, the single shot rifles started shipping last week, he did not say which calibers
