Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 1st Henry in the flesh

Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that one, like the .22 Hornet I'd like.

I think they make a lever-gun in .41 though.

Heck yeah I would buy a 22 hornet too

Hopefully there is a pic of a couple of sage grouse from 2018 on this page. 12 gauge light modified extended choke in Wyoming.

Thinking about a .410 to replace the Savage 220 I just sold. They do not, however, offer it witha youth stock though they do on others in the line, nor will they sell a stock alone. WTF?

I may be reduced to buying one of the new Crickett .410s, but haven't seen one for sale yet. Others sell the same basic gun, but with long tom barrels and adult stocks. Still time before turkey season.

What are you guys seeing for street prices on Henry Single Shots?

Around me in Northern Michigan $395.00 plus tax!

I paid about the same here in Wyoming, but it is by far the highest quality single shot I have ever handled.

That's good info gamer, thanks.

I just installed the Grainger spring with the factory inner spring. Hammer pull and trigger pull are much improved. I don't have a trigger pull gauge but I'd guess it went from the typical 8# to around 4#. It's literally a 5 minute job.

Which Grainger spring is this reference to? I have one of the 45-70 Henry single shot rifles that would definitely benefit from a lighter trigger pull.

Grainger spring # 54MY45

If you have a good hardware store nearby, just remove the factory spring, measure the length, diameter, and wire diameter, then buy some with lighter wire, but as close in the other dimensions as possible. Grainger makes you buy ten springs and with shipping it's going to cost you over $30.

Ignore the small inner spring (put it in your Box-o-Crap).

Anyone have/shoot one of the brass frame Henrys?
Looking at REEDS sporting goods on GB, they got some brass frame ones, no blued.
See 45 Colt.
Wonder how these are.

Gaudy?

Not a fan of the brass. Wonder why they do not have any blued ones I guess.
I like REEDS, bought a few guns from them, good prices if they have what ya want.

I'm with you Pappy. Not a fan of the brass frames.

Saw a friend’s two Henry SS’s in 308 and 30/30. Went to same LGS and picked up a 357 Mag. I was very happy with the wood. FYI the 308 and 30/30 have slim Sporter barrels, my 357 has a good bit heavier contour. I’ll shoot it first and then consider a 357 MAXimum reamer!

Dang! That's stunning.

Good thing about buying from Reeds is that they use photos of the gun actually for sale, not stock pics.

So what caliber is everyone putting into play?

357 Magnum because I wanted a single shot that can be a ‘plinker’ with 38Spl ammo for grandsons to enjoy, and also be usable for deer hunting if desired.
There is also a few hundred 357 MAXimum brass in my possession...... and maybe this itch to scratch... but that’s just a thought right now. Also, the 357 barrel muzzle is large enough to be threaded.
