Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
H006M
Re: H006M
Welcome to the forum from Michigan. That is disappointing to hear about your new rifle. I had an issue with my 357 front sight dovetail. Henry sent me a shipping label next day and I had it back with a new barrel in 5 days. I couldn't fix that problem but I can understand you wanting to take care of your issues. I hope it shoots well for you.

I took it out to the farm today and put 30 rounds through it. 100 feet, sitting position, 6" steel plate, so I still have no idea how accurate it is, but it is a delight to shoot. Very little recoil, and the gold bead front site is easy to see.

About 35 yards? Of course, you could use paper. I suspect that you were more concern with hitting something. Kinda like hitting a Coke can from a few feet away. When you hear the metal being hit, smile seems to come on the face, which is good enough to call the shot accurate.

No, I was more interested in whether the ammo would feed and fire. It was the first time the rifle had been shot. I didn't have any paper, but the steel was already in place and made a convenient target, albeit too large to miss.

Well, I guess that is was a good day? In the past, I have used cardboard as a target, of whatever was available. It did not have to look pretty, just work. My drawing is not the best, but I could still measure the shots. So, it was all good.

Re: H006M
I decided a long time ago that any day that has me in it is great.
So yeah, it was a wonderful day.
And I really like this gun, though I like my grandson's Golden Boy better (much smoother action and slightly crisper trigger)
Gonna shoot it some more today, probably at coke cans.
