Feets / Collection / My build It's space cowboy season
Well seeing everyone else post their Henry supremes, I had to join in with my own. As you can see it's got all the fun space cowboy furniture from ranger point. (Stock plus the pewview handguard)
Still debating if the magnifier is worth it, I might swap to an lvpo for a little bit more magnification but we'll see. (Eotech exps + g33, stolen from a different safe queen).
I'm specifically excited to see how the 14.5 inch version with the shield works barrel plays out (might also swap the flash hider).
Range results soon, I've got plenty of old ammo to try (PMC bronze my beloved plinking option).

Is the container off to the side this? I've had one in my cart for awhile. The plan was to keep it in my rucksack to fill with ammo for backcountry camping, but if it's the same one, it looks a bit big for that. I was thinking it would be roughly the size of a glasses case, but square.

That's the one, I use it as my day to day carry for my glasses. Decent build quality, locks up nice and tight.
I use savior bags (also on Amazon) for my ammo when I'm not using the good ol plamo can.

Was just looking, and noticed there's a large and a standard size. Standard would suit my needs just fine. It's 3"x3"x8". Could probably just about fit a full carton of blazer in there, which would last plenty of trips.. I'm gonna look up the Savior bags though. I might want to get something I can attach to my pack with molle. Idk.

I use the savior bags for my pistol calibre stuff. They're very stretchy and depending what you buy they have molle support.
Now to be clear, they aren't water proof so that might be a consideration depending on what your doing. I'm not sure if the Magpul one is water resistant rated either to be clear.
If I had to keep ammo 100 percent dry I'd consider one of those mini pelicans if space isn't tight (I've used one for electronics and fire starting gear in the field).
I have friends who swear by banded gear as the best camping/backwoods stuff but I haven't bought any for myself.

Are these the RDSC conversions that they sell? Looks very nice but man are they pricey.

u/Lumindan 24d ago
Yeah but a baseline supreme is already a decent chunk, once you throw on a new stock, handguard and barrel it adds up quick.
I converted my Henry big boy x a while ago and it was also pretty pricey once you break it down.
Unfortunately you gotta pay for the fun stuff.

Oh I hear you, do they give you the original furniture with the rifle ?
2
u/Lumindan 24d ago
No I only received the rifle and the extra screws/spacers/stock removal tool.
I might try to get my hands on the woox stock to add a bit of wood back into the mix but that's a later plan.

Central air is cranked up high because it's hot as balls out there and I'm trapped writing up reports for work.
That and I haven't hit that level of power yet.

How is this 3rd party barrel? Wondering if you still have any warranty after changing the barrel?

u/Lumindan 25d ago
Fit and finish look great.
Accuracy TBD once I get some range time in and do some groups.

Atta be. Looks great with the magnifier.
Did you manage the barrel swap yourself?
Thinking of ordering the 12.5” srw barrel and nut from RDSC to DIY..
