Early Modern Henry .22 Brooklyn, NY

[BlackBart]

I just got this thing........ SN 050XXX, made in Brooklyn NY... .22LR only, UNFIRED! Little horse trading and some cash to me. (reluctantly traded my BAR) Originally owned by a retired Md State Bull that was in terrible health (smoked himself to death I think) and he bought toys but never used them.

Is it the same model as the ones made today? Made from 1993 - 98 I think it was till they moved.

Anything else out there you can fill me in on? BEAUTIFUL WOOD on this thing........ keep your plastic.

Nice find. I really like my Henry's. Looks like an H001 except for the LR only. The best place to ask would be Henry. They've always been helpful when I've asked.

The "toe shot" is an obligatory aspect of all new acquisition pictures, and has been a MDSF tradition for years.

That is a nice looking Henry.

With feet that look like that, Bart should be banned from the practice.

I think you're just jealous of the dinosaur bone I killed with it.

Displaying new gun etiquette is in the TOS, I am in compliance.

My kids have been asking for a lever action .22
I have yet to oblige.

This is a beautiful rifle. Don't forget to clean off some of that dust!

Already shot it off and unfortunately scratched the painted receiver.

The Henry is a good inexpensive choice. Others Id rather have but it's not bad for the pricepoint.

Yep, two best things that came from there............ Henry .22 and my beloved USS Saratoga. Born at Brooklyn Navy yard........... both gone now.

Bart, my uncle served on the Saratoga in the 60's.

Contrary to popular belief.... she was a good ship, always ready and FAST with plenty of fresh water. She had to be with an official nickname of "The Fighting Cock".
