+1 (me) for being unhappy with Gretch. However, I love my Henry rifles and will keep buying them.
I got a new Chiappa Sharpes 1874 and there was a clear problem with orientation of the buttstock with the barrel sights, evident when you mounted a rear sight on it. It went back to Gretch, came back unchanged. Sounds like this instance may lead to them not doing warranty work for Chiappa now - good! Anyway, I had another reason to phone Gretch (replacement parts for it), and he figured out it was my rifle - it was clear that he never looked at any information my dealer sent back! And then he wondered/questioned why I bought this rifle, and not just another Henry! Lots of attitude, no time for actually listening to what might be wrong.
I don't need to talk to him again.
Kinda late to the party, but here's my 2 cents.
Bought a brand new Big Boy X .357 2 weeks ago, (hard to come by). Brought the gun home and found the fore end was all scratched up on the bottom.
Out of curiosity Google-mapped the Canadian warranty location. Place looked like a dump. Pages of negative reviews didn't inspire much confidence either. So, decided to contact Henry USA directly. Totally smooth and simple process. Sent them a pic, they sent me a reply. Fore end being mailed out directly from their Wisconsin facility.
I raised such a stink about Grech over a mishandled Chiappa repair last year that Chiappa cancelled their warranty contracted with Grech entirely, and have just announced the replacement. If you’re a Chiappa owner with a gun needing repair, you’re welcome. I won’t be surprised to see Henry and others do the same thing. It is really damaging to their reputations having nonsense like this happening
If I lived in the US I would own a few Henry rifles, living in Canada, no thanks. Same goes with RUGER. Their Canadian service sucks.
I received a new Henry single shot in .308 mid last week, this gun shouldn’t have left the factory. It wasn’t locking up properly, I spent about four hours properly fitting the the barrel to the receiver, now it’s perfect. I did it myself because I know what Iam doing but mainly because I didn’t want to take the chance sending it to Gretch. I shot it for the first time yesterday, and it’s a great shooter with iron sights, I just mounted a fixed 4x for the next time out.
