NiceThe fellah at Muncie's RK says he believes that he only has 1 wood stock at 299.00, but a few plastic stocks at 249.00.
Cool thanks. That's what I'm used too.BMWRich; No. If a sale of a firearm goes across a state line it must go through an FFL. A person may buy a long gun in another state if buying from or through an FFL. A handgun must be transfered to an FFL in your home state where you can pick it up. Jim.
Hit up Henry customer support. I emailed them about a wonky rear sight and they dropped a new one in the mail, paid, before I could even ask. They can definitely hook you up with a new action bar.Ok, so brought home the new 22 pump Henry.
Broke ‘er down for a good cleaning, lubing n inspection.
Along with cleaning out the machining crumbs and smoothing up the action parts, I found the action bar was bent. Actually the bar is steel that is really of poor quality.
Additionally, folks (store employees too) who have no idea how to operate the little lever in front of the trigger guard to charge the rifle or even to rack the slide on an empty chamber, have forced the forearm which resulted in a bent “action bar”.
On the other hand, I can see why, when the rifle breaks in, the factory action bar is/will be adequate.
Should I have brought this to the attention of the gun store I purchased?
Naaa,...more trips back n forth for something so trivial I can fix my self. And I don’t feel that it was a defect from the Henry factory.
Plus cleaning up all the other parts helped make the action a lot smoother.
Yes, I’m a happy camper.
Tomorrow will be it’s first day of action!
(photos later too)
Is GAT guns still there? Was either in East Dundee, or Carpentersville? On route 25. Used to go there almost every weekend in the cold moths for the range. They charged a couple few bucks, under 10 to use the range and it was for as long as you wanted. They also had a great selection of rentals including a Desert Eagle .50. The only rule for their rentals was that you had to buy the ammo for them, from them. That was back when it was still cheap, .50 was about a buck a round.I’ve been *Jonesin’* for a .22 pump action for sometime now, and with a lot of the Covid restrictions removed,
gun shows are starting to make a come back.
This mornings “O’dark thirty” departure lead me to the Woodstock IL gun show for a “look/see”.
Eh??? not really much to report or see......
So......as I started to head back home, my next intention was to hit as many guns stores I could, seeing what’s out there new or used.
Last gun store on my route just so happen to have 3 new .22 pump Henry’s.
1 .22 mag pump and 2 .22LR pump.
I grabbed one of the .22LR rifles which also shoots *shorts n longs”.
‘Cuz of Illinois silly Laws, I won’t be able to take possession till Wednesday.
Looking forward to shooting outside when the weather warms some.
Yep Gat's is cool and still thriving.Is GAT guns still there? Was either in East Dundee, or Carpentersville? On route 25. Used to go there almost every weekend in the cold moths for the range.

The last time I was there, rented the .50 and it came apart in my hands. I still have the hand written coupon for one free rental along with about 25 or so shells that I will likely never use. Good times with that pistol though. Light it off and all the targets on the range would shake in the breeze. That and the noise and smoke that filled the range. Most others stopped what they were doing to see what was going on in my lane. Made a few good friends because of that, good times.

Yes, they are still open. Looks like they are bigger and better now, too.
Photo of my Marlin 60.I just inherited a Winchester 1890 pump, 22 short. Looks like it is in good condition. Probably sell it soon, but they are cool guns.
I have a Marlin 60 and Browning BL 22 that gets all my atttention at the range.
I must say that the Marlin 60 is my favorite. My Dad gave me his, and it must be 30 years old. Such a well built gun and accurate.Photo of my Marlin 60.
Always wanted a BL22. Some day...Some day...
Marlin model 60 was my first rifle, got it when I was probably 12, still have it.I must say that the Marlin 60 is my favorite. My Dad gave me his, and it must be 30 years old. Such a well built gun and accurate.
