CB Chronicle offer

[Cottonmouth Mark]

Well here's a Q out there. I know Henrys are not optimum SASS guns, and don;t need it to be, have a 1873 that does me well for that.

 

But I did see an exclusive offer in the CB Chronicle for a SASS unique Henry where they will SN it with your SASS #.  Thinking of getting one just for fun.  Thoughts?

I saw that as well. 
Gun looks nice. 
My Henry Golden Boy is well made and shoots nicely. 
My only problem with any commemorative or collectible type firearm is if I own it, I shoot it. Thus destroying any extra value it may have. I don’t own anything that I haven’t shot so would not be in my future. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t want one, just not a good purchase for me. YMMV

Well I plan to shoot it.  I have a niece and nephew who enjoy shooting and are already arguing over who gets my 73 when I die or quit shooting.  Figured this might be a nice way to settle the argument.

In no time...that special S/N will mean nothing.

many years back , I made the call 

 

 I ain't got a truck I won't drive , a gun I won't shoot or a reel I won't fish with 

 

 I don't care for dust collectors

It's actually not too bad. The stock version of this rifle is about $225 less. 

 

So if you want to get a limited edition with your SASS number on it, you're paying $225ish dollars for that.

 

Now...if SASS would reposition itself...starting with a new logo (the angry elf is kinda dated), it might be more attractive.

PS: The numbers are fact, the logo comments are opinion.

 Looks like a pot metal rifle like we had as kids.

Never liked the looks of most of their guns.

Henry is a great supporter of CAS ! If you want one ,go buy it ! Tell the kids to save their money and buy their own guns !

The golden boy that I have is a well made rifle. I'm sure that the ones offered with your SASS number are also well made guns.

 I concur with several of the writers here about guns ----safe queens are nice ,but I like to shoot everything I own !

My son wanted a Marlin 1894 Cowboy in 45 Colt. But our best gunshop didn't have any. They did have the Big Boy.  He bought it. I think he had buyers remorse and gave it to his wife when he got home.  He started working on me to get my Marlin away from me. I managed to wrangle it from me on his next visit.  I took the one piece firing pin out and returned it to civilian configuration.

Exactly just like the SASS serial numbers on Colts and Rugers. I think it's just a selling feature to get you sucked into buying one.
