Dear Mr. Imperato,

My son, Peter, and I were thrilled to meet you and to see your entire product line at the NRA convention in Pittsburgh.

You had quite an impression on him; since meeting you, he has told the story over and over, perfecting his Brooklyn accent, when he quotes you, "I like the way you look, kid." Since he's only 8 years old, it's pretty funny to hear.

Thank you for making a great product that has made shooting so accessible to my son.

You folks make some might delicious pieces!

If General Motors had emulated the evident quality of Henry Repeating Arms' design and manufacture, Toyota would be a tinfoil footnote in automotive history.

My compliments!

Dear Henry,

My name is Josh Rotholz and I live in Wyoming. Just tonight I went to a local gunsmith and my dad bought your Henry Mini Bolt .22. It is SO COOL! It is soooooo light and has awesome sights. I have to share it with my sister, but that's okay. She's a cool sister so I have no problem whatsoever sharing with her.

Keep up the good work,

Dear Folks at Henry, I just purchased a Minibolt for my 6 year old daughter , Catie. I had looked at these in passing a just passed them off as kids guns ie not well built and poor accuracy. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!!!

This is the best made single shot .22 on the market. Accuracy? Try 1 1/4" at 70 yards on my home range.

My only complaint is Make one to fit me!!!!! Hope you can see your way to make these in adult size in .22 lr , .22mag, and 17hmr.

When Catie was 1 month old I purchased a Marlin Youth gun for her . When she was 5 , the gun was just to heavy to even consider her using it. Last week end she wanted to shoot and tried but it was not to much fun, still to heavy. Went by a gunshop few days later and she said that was the gun for her.

We are responsible shooters , members of NRA and keep guns locked away and out of reach of children.

Please continue to manufacture your fine firearms .

Dear Mr Imperato

I gave my 2 grandsons their Henry rifles and the patches you sent them for Christmas and they were almost in tears with delight. They really liked the special letter you sent to each of them, it made it really special.

Thanks again, I will always appreciate what you did and will be a Henry supporter for ever.

Sincerely.

"Thank you so much for your uncommonly personal response to my letter commending your organization for superior quality. (Neither 'organization', nor 'quality' were casually used terms here - fact.)"

"But, professionally, I'm curious about one thing. How did your dad, and then you, so infect the whole organization with your unique personal involvement and enthusiasm/insistence on quality? And how did you succeed in getting the rank-and-file to emulate it 'buy-in' (individually) to the original work ethic of pride as a premier motivator? (I'd love to talk to them.) Nowadays, this places you head-and-shoulders above the competition."

"Have to let know. I bought one of your mini bolt .22's for my 7 year old grandson. Well, even though he has been shooting for a few years, under strict supervision, he had a Great time with it. Of course my son and I were also ecstatic, with him and the rifle. He quickly learned how to operate the gun and put nearly 100 rounds thru it into a 6-inch group, bench resting it. Then my son grabbed it and put 5 shots in one hole. Thanks for a wonderful boy's first rifle. Took pictures and when I get them developed, will send them."

"Thank you for all your assistance; you have been more than helpful. Not only will I do more business with Henry rifles, I will refer anyone I know buying a gun from you. Your customer service department is the best I've ever dealt with. "

"Just a note to let you know how pleased I am with your rifles, I purchased a lever action .22 for my brother's birthday. He thought I was going to give him an auto-loader and even had an expression of disappointment when he first opened the box. However, after shooting a few rounds, he was elated with the handling characteristics and accuracy. Every time I talk with him, he thanks me again and again."

"I also purchased the Henry .22 mini-bolt in anticipation of my grandson's summer visit this year. I think I will have to buy another one as I have decided I need one too. It is a great little squirrel gun. Would you ever consider modifying the mini-bolt to include an extendable stock to facilitate bigger "grandpa" type kids? Thanks for a great American made product line and keep up the good work!"

"My name is Nicholas. I am six years old. My dad just bought me a new .22 mini bolt. I like my gun! My dad has let me target practice a hundred times since we brought it home yesterday! I am going to hunt partridge and rabbits with my dad this season. I know the gun saftey rules. This gun is perfect for me. I will keep it and give it to my children when I grow up. Thank you!"

"I have purchased four of your guns, the regular lever action, the big loop lever action, the GOLDEN BOY, and the pump action 22's. I am very pleased with all of the guns. They have a very smooth action and are very accurate. They are all nice looking guns. They are all reasonably priced and made in America."
