All I've done so far is a couple of dry fires and it seems a bit heavy, but not as heavy as the hammer pull, which is really stiff. I may break down and swap out the spring since it's so easy and I have nine of them!

Matter of fact, I'm gonna go do that RIGHT NOW!

Hmmm. When you break it open to load it what do you see? Brass or Zamak (pot metal in color)?

The quote you provided came from the shotgun review
https://www.americanrifleman.org/articl ... nd-rifles/
"The example of the high-polish brass receiver models requested for this review was the 28" barrel 12-ga. (H015B-12) shotgun. The receiver is not actually made of brass (which is soft, heavy and tends to stretch out of spec eventually) but a much more durable proprietary brass-plated alloy called Brasslite, which is treated with a clear coating to preserve its mirror finish. A steel insert houses the firing pin and supports the base of each shotgun shell when fired."

Also from American Rifleman for the center fire rifles...

"Moving away from Henry’s well-known lever-actions, the company is adding a .30-30 Win. and a .357 Mag. to its line of break-action single shots. The .357 will come with either a hardened brass or a blued-steel receiver, while the .30-.30 Win. will be available only in the blued steel."

You have very nice SS with beautiful wood grain. Hope you keep the brass shiny. But personal preference there.

Henry center fires are a solid brass alloy. Only the rimfires are brasslite. You got it shined up real pretty anyway. Enjoy shooting it next week as well as the fellowship of the get together!

Nope. From an "American Rifleman" review, which is typical of many written about the single shot lineup. HRA doesn't really own up to it, and it's obvious to see them side-by-side.

I'm not going to debate this or research it further. I know the difference, I know what I have, I own both. Find some other nit to pick, as this one is done.

Catching mis-information is hardly nit picking. My apologies for it coming across that way. Enjoy shooting them and again have a good time with fellow forum members this week.

tractortad,
That's good to know. I have one single shot rifle that takes down with a forearm latch (Brno Effect), so I assumed - incorrectly - that I'd at least need a nylon punch and something to tap it with; a #2 pencil with eraser sounds pretty good .

File this under "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."

Apparently it's a coated finish, doesn't produce the "black residue" like Big Boys, but the receivers are indeed brass.

Crow is best served at room temperature, just FYI.

Id need more than KC BBQ sauce to eat crow with and I bet it don't taste like chicken either

[CT_Shooter]

I usually have mine with a dash of salt and a shot of Anejo Tequila followed by a wedge of lemon! Then, to be sure, I repeat that several times.

Sure, but what is lurking there we can't see
