Dennette,
I got the rifle back, looks good. My first trip to the range was good, but it was cold outside, so I only shot 50 rds or so. The Action is considerably smoother, and I had no FTF/FTE. Thanks for the quick and thorough warranty service.
I have another question for you, if you don't mind.
I see Henry is offering the Big Boy color case hardened in 44 Mag/44 Spl.
The 20" Rifle version says in the specs that the twist is 1:16
Can you verify that?
Also, what is the barrel Groove Diameter?
SAMMI for Rifle is .431
SAMMI for Pistol is .429
I ask about barrel Groove diameter, because...
The SAAMI for twist in Rifle is 1:38
and SAAMI for pistol is around 1:16 to 1:20
So since the 20" Rifle has SAAMI pistol specs for twist, I would assume it has the SAAMI Pistol groove dia of .429
Now, the weird thing on your website, it shows the Big Boy color case hardened in 44 MAG/44 Spl in the 16.5" Carbine version specs say it's 1:38 twist ????
Thanks,
Jon
PS, there is a discussion about this Henry Color Case Hardened 44 Mag offering and the 1:20 twist spec on a couple forums I frequent. Another member called Henry and didn't get a satisfactory answer. Since I had contact with you, I figured I may as well see what you can verify for me, Thanks again.
