A big box store in my area was having a killer deal on those Henry .22 lever action rifles a few months ago. I picked up a youth model, exactly the model you have described. I appreciate you sticking your neck out for the PSA-style reminder. The only other lever rifle I have experience with had a modern, non-traditional cross-bolt safety, so I have to consciously remind myself to check that the hammer is in the half-cock position as per the instructions and your advice (one can see where the serrations stop on the hammer with it in this position). Your story leaves such a strong visual in my mind that I know I'm now much more likely to remember to use the half-cock position for the hammer or, better yet, open the bolt until I'm ready to shoot. Thanks!
