Uberti Silverboy

[Sir Henry]

If I recall correctly, the inner workings on the Uberti are quite a bit different from a Henry.

That's a bummer. I was hoping parts would be interchangeable.

[Danwin22]

Yes, they are different.

If I hold my Henry Golden Boy in any other position than straight up and work the lever, there is a chance that the shell will get jammed.

The Uberti Silver Boy, like the Winchester 9422, have internal guides which carefully route the cartridge into the chamber; no matter what position you hold the carbine, even upside down.

The plain truth is that most of us naturally hold our lever actions straight when jacking a new cartridge so it's not something that we are aware of.

Another thing that is worth considering is that the Winchester 9422 has a two-piece firing pin that will not fire unless the lever is closed up against the
gun and even if you pull the trigger it won't fire.

Uberti says they have a lever locking device in place and when I work the lever there is a light click just as the lever touches the carbine and you see a small tick of the hammer.

I don't know if the Henry Golden Boy has a similar device but does have click when the lever is closed so I will assume it also has a safety device until someone can tell me differently.

I should have thought to take a picture of the cartridge lift in the Uberti. It was highly polished and looked like it was better aligned with the chamber.

Nice. You can hang those in the bunkhouse anytime!

[Sir Henry]

Thanks for the info on the 9422. I have one in .22WMR and I also have a 9410.

Love to have a 9410 for house protection and snakes.
