I buy my grand kids guns for their first birthdays. Last two I bought Henry Golden Boys. They are 4 now and the guns have never been fired. That may change very soon.
I have a grand daughter that will be one the 23 of this month. I ordered her a Henry American Beauty from Buds Guns. Almost $700.00. Picked it up at my FFL dealer last week.
Buds stated INSPECT the gun BEFORE it is transferred to you, or they cannon take it back. If you have an issue after you take possession the gun has to go back to the manufacturer.
I looked at the gun at the dealer and it looked fine. Last night I decided to clean the grease off and apply a coat of oil. Everything was fine UNTIL I tried to remove the magazine rod. It was froze shut. Being the genius I am I turned it with a pair of pliers and booger it up. I put some WD 40 around it and managed to get it out 1/2 inch or so. Looks like a lot of rust inside the tube. I stopped there.
Hoping Henry will make it right, but haven't contacted them yet. I will tomorrow.
