Made in America or not made at all
Which gun mfg has these words for their company motto? Did you say Henry? And in New York no less! This Henry Golden Boy 22lr is the rifle that my brother and I went halves on and ordered the engraved receiver cover then presented it to my son Thomas for his 18th birthday. Then later that day loaded up the Henry and hit the range. The heft of this gun is difficult to describe. The heavy barrel is octagon which makes it feel like a bull barrel and the weight if it reduces the recoil down to the feel of a Red Ryder. I hope he will always cherish it, like so many if us do our first gun. So many times a first is a 22, and nobody should be without one of some type.
I wish you guys that can would take time to post more rimfires here when you can.

That is gorgeous!
Yeah, he will cherish that for a lifetime. Your grandkids will too.
Wow, what a rifle! What a present! What a Dad and Uncle!
Somehow this post makes me appreciate my Henry all that much more...and I already love the dang thing.
I was thinking today of posting the other two Mossbergs and the Marlin Model .75 up this week. I really do love these small caliber rifles
Very nice Russell!

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Made in America or not made at all
Nice rifle! I bought a Henry H001T Frontier last year and its one of my favorite .22 rifles right now. You gotta love that its made in the USA from USA materials. Heck even the wood for the stocks was grown in my home state of Missouri! I plan on buying a Golden Boy when I can afford it to give to my future son in law.
