And yes it is showing some wear & tear from packing it around in the saddle scabbard, and shooting lots as well. It's a cowboy rifle with character marks!
I didn't buy it to just look at it, although that gives me great pleasure too....
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Uberti wood
Uberti's are not known for their wood, it is walnut but not like the HRA wood for sure. They use a reddish stain that some owners strip off right away. However, I have been using some fine furniture wax on mine once in awhile, and did it again tonight. I really like it. Some of the grain is coming out, which was not so much evident when I bought it.

Re: Uberti wood
Nothing wrong with the looks of that wood. I have known a few people that had a plane looking stock and did strip it down and put a good oil finish on and found the wood to look much better than it use to.

Re: Uberti wood
Nothing wrong with that at all. Too fancy and you would be afraid to carry it in the saddle.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
