Just handling it and getting used to it right now.
Levering it feels like a Marlin 39a maybe because of the rebounding hammer.
Running my mock-up bullets through it, I found It is more sensitive to cartridge length than the Henry.
Firm levering required.
FYI I had to make an "add on" for the top of the front sight for mine
If i have to change the front sight I probably get a taller Marbles with another 1/16 bead.
I really like those thin Marbles sights.
We will be waiting for some range reports.
Next week!

p.s.
The shell keep popping out of the wrong spot. They keep supersizing me.

I'm not much of a peep sight fan but I do have a rife with a tang peep that I really enjoy .... that really looks like a solidly built peep .... looking forward to your continued reports

If you havent used one of those before Ojail they take a little getting use to. At least they did for me.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

The peep sight part I got. I think. I have seven lever guns using Williams sights. It is more what do I do with my thumb. The crescent but plate helps with the hold.
26 inch sight radius, I really like that.

Drop 700 Bennies on the counter, step back, and go from there - assuming it's being sold as used, no box etc.
I rest my case:

Bennies = Benjamin's - Ok technically you are right.
I did not 'phrase' my slang correctly!
Sorry a Canadian had to point that out. I posted the above before seeing your and Mags posts...

That looks like a nice sight. You didn’t want to do a Skinner in the dovetail? I tend to like a longer sight picture too, but I would be worried about the tang sight snagging in the bush. Not a concern if you aren’t taking it hunting I suppose.

Great score Ojaileveraction!

I'm setting the rifle up for Pistol Caliber Silhouette. The need was for an easily adjustable site that was repeatable. Though the site does folds down and back without affecting the adjustment.
