Early last year I got word that Henry was going to produce a lever action rifle in .327 Federal magnum.
The minute I heard, I wanted one last week.
It took months for them to be released, and a little longer still for me to find one.
When I did I jumped on it.
I was, and still am, enamored with this rifle.
The more discussion I saw online, the more I began to wonder if these rifles would be around long.
The general consensus is saying most think it will be a short-lived model, and will be discontinued after just a year or two of production.
I decided I wanted a second one, just to hold on to, just in case they are discontinued and they become collectors items.
I found another one last week and hit the buy button.
It came in today. Identical to the first, with the exception of the serial numbers.
I brought it home today and laid the two side-by-side.
What a beautiful pair!
Then I started looking at the packaging.
Each Henry comes with an inspection tag that includes the date that the rifle was finished and test-fired prior to shipping.
My first Henry Big Boy steel .327was born on August 8th, 2017.
My second Henry Big Boy steel .327 was born on February 8th, 2018.
EXACTLY 6 months to the day, from one production date to the other!
My first .327 has a serial number under 120.
The second .327 has a serial number under 850.
Still not sure why I wanted a second one, but I have it now, whether I need it or not!
