Henry RIfle - Kurt - 10-08-2012

I been looking for a new toy. I would like to have a 1866 Henry in the .44-40 and I'm very surprised that Henry does not have it in their inventory.
Or haven't I looked in the right places?
I don't want to go to Italy and I cant afford the originals.

uberti or cimmaron should have them , henry only makes a crude copy of something not even close to a winchester ,

Hi Dean.

I wont go import with this one. The 60 was a week one but I thought it would be nice to kick up some dust with it and I have a 6 gun that has the same caliber so I don't have to carry different rounds.
I will probably go with the 92 in the end.

Kurt check out CDNN investments, when you look thru their online catalog they have some take down 92's for a very good price.

Don.

Those are Chaparrals that look like Winchesters.

Do they not have anymore of the Winchester 92's? Wouldn't surprise me at the price they had them at.


RE: Henry RIfle - Don McDowell - 10-08-2012

Found em on page 75 but all they have in 44 is the short rifles.


RE: Henry RIfle - Kurt - 10-08-2012

I saw that take down for $1000. I would just as soon give a little more for a real one.

I had an I talian Henry for several years in 45LC. Good shooting gun.

Hi Mike. Welcome.

Was it the 1860? The American Henry Co. to my surprise does not make a 60 model that I can see. They have just about all configurations on lever rifles but not the 1860.
Maybe it's because of the weak toggle action.
