RE: On the gun topic, since I know most people on FR, and especially preppers, don’t have enough guns, I’m looking at the Henry Survival Rifle. So far I like it. It’s 0.22 caliber, 3.5 pounds, 16.5” long, reasonably waterproof (if floats when disassembled and stored in the stock), and it can be assembled in under two minutes. I don’t actually have one, so don’t put too much trust in my comments. Does anyone else have one and like/dislike it?
I was really interested in one of these a couple years ago, and got an attempted demonstration at Gander Mountain. I say “attempted” because a piece got stuck in its receptacle in the stock, & I said nevermind. I took it as indicative of quality that one needed to scramble for a prying tool not supplied with it to make it fireable... or that possibly inept/hasty stowage could be such a PITA to undo. May be acceptable to someone who doesn’t mind tweaking to make a new unit do what it’s made for, & of course I never got to test for accuracy. YMMV.
Thanks for the info TM!
I own the 10/22 takedown, have put optics on it, and have stripped, cleaned and packed it numerous times, but have yet to fire it.
Thus far I am impressed with the quality and design. Of course, it helps that the 10/22 has been around forever (mature components, only the “takedown” design is new).
We’ll see how it holds up under real use.
