Sad day; Henry Rifle RIP.

[Gunner]

Has a nice patinia. He just upped the value of it. Best thing is he wasn't killed or hurt.

Sad to hear that . . . but glad that it was only property that was hurt/damaged.

Agree with others about contacting Henry. Write up the story about what happened, why you bought your dad a Henry, etc. Maybe they can help or give a discount on a replacement, etc? Would be a good PR opportunity for them.

A recent manufacture Henry? Easily replaced. No sad.

Glad he's ok. Get him another henry, a display mount for this one, and a bright LED camp-lantern.

Agreed. If I was in charge I would not only replace the rifle but would probably toss in a matching rifle for the OP as well.


Of course that might actually be a bad business move. If word gets out about it then every hillbilly schmuck that f**ks up his rifle will want a new one for free.

Hold onto that for the next time Denver tries one of those stupid gun turn-ins. In the meantime, it's an interesting wallhanger -- glad the only things lost were replaceable material items.

Glad your pops is okay--that's the important thing. The pics make me sad but sometimes there is hope (in the right hands).

Yep, all is good. Dad just left the lantern running and wandered to another tent for some food or something. Possible the wind rattled the camper a bit and it tipped over. They stepped out and looked up the hill and it was already blazing away. I should get a photo from one of them soon. Hunters (photographers) are on their way back to the midwest. Dad is heading back up with another friend to continue the hunt.

We'll see what henry has to say and then I'll look into purchasing another rifle. I'll post any newsworthy updates.

If one type of gun looks good case hardened, it's lever rifles!

Just rub some dirt on it
