RE: Henry RIfle
Yes, it was the 1860. The action is plenty strong for
reasonable loads. I always shot BP in it. I sold it to one of my friends and he shoots some smokeless in it from time to time with no problems.
I have seen some of the American henry co. guns in person and was not impressed.

Mike where they the 1860 model?
I think I will call them and find out for sure if they make the 60 for sure.

I was down at the gunshop today and picked up one of their brochures. They don't make an 1860. I'd go with one of the Italian guns, far better quality.

RE: Henry RIfle
Henry is now making a replica of the original 1860 model. According to them it is an exact copy. The non-engraved model has a MSP of $2300.

RE: Henry RIfle
just bought an Uberti 1866 yellow boy rifle. paid extra for great wood. worth the $1850
pay once, gun is forever.
38 special calibre.
very nice gun, first targets at 50 feet put all in ONE HOLE centered. yup. One hole.
store bought bullets. Now, I've got some cast 125 RNFP done, SPG lubed, and 5.4 Accurate #5.
I'll try that and then 5.6 listed as at 900 fps, with 5.8 max charge which I will not do.
more to post.
Ken
