School me on Henrys' survival rifle. I know virtually nothing about them but I am interested in buying one in the near future. What kind of accuracy, reliability, and quality can I expect? Lastly, do they have any upgrades available?

Lotsa upgrades, but reliability may be lacking though...

I had one years ago.  It jammed a lot with standard 22lr, but seemed to like Stingers.

Same here, with stingers and the cci velociraptors both of mine function 100%, and are very accurate with the velociraptors. With cheap federal reliablility is pretty low after you shoot a few mags and it gets dirty. Just seems to need a lot of thump to function.

I would advise against it.  Reliability and mag availability issues pertain.  Any external mods will prevent the thing from going into its stock.  Accuracy issues with repeatability of removable barrel lock-up.  Had a good one (Charter Arms), and it was so-so for accuracy.

If you must have a .22LR with removeable bbl, then think stainless steel Marlin Papoose.

Frankly, I would get a short-barreled stainless steel 10-22 Carbine, and put a Butler Creek stainless steel folding stock on it.  Much more accurate, far more reliable, and almost infinitely customizable.
