Early this year, when the ammo shortage hit really hard, I figured it'd be a good idea to sell
off a bunch of factory ammo I'd never shoot anyway.
I cashed in at the LGS for store credit. I put a Golden Boy I've always on back order.
They said it'd probably be this summer before it came in. I was OK with that.
Henry was so overwhelmed with back orders for them that a week or so later, they quit taking back orders for them.
I hate to admit I was getting impatient, but I've really wanted a Henry .22, and was getting impatient.
Last night, I sent my local guy a email and since I've seen the 20" blue steel version in stock here & there,
I asked if I could switch out and get the blue steel one.
The blue one with a octagon barrel is fine, I just wanted the GB one.
When I got up today--- at the crack of Noon,, he'd emailed me that the Golden Boy had come in this morning.
How cool is that?
I was filling out the paperwork, and the counter guy asked me the date to double check himself.
I told him I was picking up a new Henry I'd been waiting on since about March.
I didn't care, and wasn't really sure if it was day light or dark, much less the correct date.
