The ammo shortage is over at least here in Texas. I was in Academy the other day and they had everything back in stock even 5.56, .40 cal, and 22 (both LR and mag).
Looks pretty good. My only gripe about some of these is that many of the products in the kit are made in china (IMHO junk). Don’t know about the one you got from Opsgear but Henry claims all their stuff in their kit is made in USA. For that reason I made up my own kits a while back before I heard about the Henry.
i bought a henry in september. it died a horrible death (after maybe 150 rounds) and they’re giving me a hard time. never again will i buy a henry. nor will i recommend one.
This is an excellent kit.
For the car though, one needs to focus on a different set of goods, and a back pack makes a better container.
In a car kit, bedding and water are the starting point (in most climates the water should be kept in a waterproof bag and/or an ice chest for a freeze/burst/thaw cycle).
With that said, I have heard a few "horror stories" about their customer service department. They are still a relatively small outfit, so maybe it has something to do with the particular person who picks up the phone when you call.
Then again, maybe their Director of Customer Service is schizophrenic.... ;-)
they don’t seem to understand that some people need their rifles, for training, etc., and that every time they get shipped back and forth it is a hassle and an expense. and if a rifle craps out at less than 150 rounds, then it is garbage and i never should have bought it.
so i can’t use it in class, and they’re gonna end up with it for whoever knows how long, and i’m dead in the water.
i am NOT happy with Henry
.22lr lever. my chief beef is the hassle in returning it and getting it back. i bought it to use in class, and now i cant hold class without my rifle. in all fairness they are being professional and state that they will fix it. the reciever started allowing rounds to jam. im an very upset because it happened during qualifications, and i had to end up qualifying with a strange rifle. sure ill feel better when it gets back....probably in a month or so
grr...
Thanks for the info. I agree, sending any firearm back to the factory is a major pain, even more when it’s brand new.
well i remain unhappy.
