Henry Rifle Forums

Took me a while to get the 'ol gun fund up (I get easily distracted ) ... But, today I added a .357 to the collection.



She's a beauty that I can barely wait to take to the range this weekend!

Congrats - 357 is a great choice for a Henry.

Good choice. Useful caliber, American made, and the company stands behind the rifle 100% for life.

Beautiful

Wow, that's a purty one!

Hearty ditto to what Tractortad said:

Never been a better looker, and in .357; I'm jealous

Very nice! 357 carbines are a ton of fun. I have a 77/357 on layaway 'cuz one wasn't enough. Yours looks better though.

Congrats on the New 357 !
I have had mine for couple of years and just love it.......
My neighbor recently acquired and new BB 357 steel. Well, we took it out in the yard and I give it a whirl.
Needles to say I fell in love with it.
End result = Picking up my 357 steel today.
Watch out! These rifles are addicting.

Enjoy that Beautiful new 357 .
May it bring you joy for many years to come!

HAppy SHootin To All!

Got to the range on Sunday.

Man, this is a fun rifle! She ran like a champ with .357's but .38's were a problem. Tried two rounds, and had to break it down both times to clear a squib. *** important lesson: if something feels wrong, stop and check the bore. *** 1st time I felt nothing at all, so I figured it didn't chamber ... Imagine my surprise when I cycled it again, and a spent shell ejected. I ran a bore snake down the barrel, and no go. After a cleaning rod effortlessly punched the bullet the rest of the way out, I tried again to see if it was just a bad round. Nope. Each time it came within 1/4 inch of clearing the muzzle, but not quite. The ammo (Herters 158 gr.) cycled fine, but I'm guessing it was just underpowered. It felt normal in my 4" S&W 686, but would not clear the 20" barrel.

I'll have to try some hotter brands in .38 next time.

interesting .... our Henry 357 has fired and cycled every shell we've dropped into the magazine .... you are dead on, they are fun to shoot ..
