Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Henry Single Shot Rifle/Shotgun Recall

UPS dropped-off my rifle at Henry today. No big hurry on my part, but it will be interesting to see how long the turnaround is. Been many many years since I've had to send a gun back to the manufacturer for work.

Mine's headed to Henry today. Got the approval last Monday, boxes came yesterday.

Ha! Mine are on their way home! Just got the email.

Pretty damn quick. Mine arrived at Henry Friday. Hope the new triggers are truly better.

So far, pretty impressed with their C.S.

My Henrys land tomorrow.

UPS tracking shows mine arriving to Henry tomorrow.

Got an email from Henry on the 26th that mine is on the way back. It arrived at Henry on the 24th.....can't complain about that turnaround!

Great news!!! If they can keep that two day pace I could possibly have mine home next friday....

Mine came home today. Trigger on the .410 is much improved, and the better of the two. The .308 seems about like it was after my spring swap, maybe a touch lighter. Might be my imagination, but letting down the hammer seems harder to do safely. For certain, the hammer-pull effort makes these a tough nut for someone with weak hands like a kid.

If you want something to worry about, read my UPS rant in the Hunter's Campfire Forum. I've calmed down and don't want to light the fuse again. Probably what I deserve after all the crap I've given Redgwell about his troubles.

Just got my boxes and shipping labels yesterday. I assume that when I get the scope, the mounts, hammer extension, etc. off then it just goes into the inner box, which goes into the outer box with return label on it and then I take it to UPS ? I've never shipped a gun before but I've shipped ammo to a guy in Louisiana a couple winters ago and my local UPS store wouldn't touch it and I had to take it to a regional center to let them do it. Is that how this deal is gonna be ?

I left the base on my .308. I taped both boxes very securely, so there was no possibility of them coming open. I took them to a UPS drop-off, not a UPS store, and handed them to the guy behind the counter. We didn't discuss the contents, probably because of the pre-paid label and insurance. When you ship yourself with insurance, you have to disclose what's in the box. Ammo has to be shipped like other potentially hazardous stuff to make sure it never ends up on a plane.

Got my boxes last week and dropped it off at a UPS store on Thursday. No questions about what was in the box. Haven't checked on arrival at Henry and probably won't. I had expected it to take two or three weeks once it got to Henry, so hearing the turn around is quick, is great. I suspect that most are having Henry sent the boxes, which gives them a lot of control over when and how many they get in. More great Henry customer service.

Thanks for the updates, guys. Taking stuff off mine today, packing it up, and will get it down to the UPS regional place this week. Sounds like they are doing a real good job of handling this.

Gotta give Anthony and the other folks at Henry their props for how well they're handling this. Quick and clean.

Never been a fan of their lever-guns, but these SSs are a screaming deal, better now with the improved triggers. I know there are a lot of H&R fans, but aside from the barrel swapping possible on most of those, the Henrys are just nicer guns. Might need another one.

I own both and the Henry is a much better quality rifle. In all fairness tho, the H&R's were always marketed as budget guns with the exception of the Ultra series guns.

I'm in agreement with this. I have a couple of H&R's and they work just fine, but they're not on the same level as the Henry when it comes to the quality of workmanship.

The H&Rs are reputedly good shooters (never owned one), but have never seen one with a nice checkered stock like the Henrys have, often very nice.

At any rate, the H&Rs are gone from the market now. Too bad, because they are good guns too.

I always heard favorable comments about the H & R's also. Haven't even seen one in many years, though. That's why I wound up with a Henry. Got mine all packed, labeled and ready to go to the UPS regional joint tomorrow or Wed. Hope they do a good turnaround on this one.

Just got shipping info. My rifle arrived at Henry on Friday and it's shipping today, due here on Friday. Excellent turn around time!!

As for the H&R's. The rimmed cartridge calibers tend to be inherently very accurate. I've yet to see a 30/30 or 45/70 that didn't shoot great. The 243's are among the most finicky. The 270's and 500 S&W mag's tend to shoot themselves loose.

Just got mine back today. Hammer and trigger are like night and day compared to what it was before sending it in. I never got around to doing the spring swap, but there's no need to do so now. Well done Henry!

Got it down to UPS this afternoon. Quick & easy with no questions. Looked up my tracking number tonight and it's due to arrive at Henry this coming Friday. Can't wait to see what that trigger & hammer will be like. The trigger was a bit over five and a half pounds on a Lyman digital gauge but before I measured it I had guessed it was more like seven and a half pounds. That hammer spring was a real bear also.
