New Henrys

[BigAl52]

Im happy with my BBS 41 mag and with 18gr of 2400 I wouldnt be scared to take a shot at an elk with it given the range was doable. It will last me till I find dirt. I have enough ammo to do a little shooting with it now and then but right now makin smoke has taken the front seat to all the cartridge guns.

Just occurred to me: Does this mean that Rice Lake is back in full production?

I was going by the info on their website .... looking forward to what you find out

Just got a reply about this. There will not be any new .41 Mag BBS's. Side gate or otherwise. It will only be offered in the Brass receiver with no side gate, and only octagonal barrel for the Classic Rifle and Classic Carbine.

Hi Gene,

Thank you for your interest. We are making the .41 as always in our Big Boy Classic model only. I will link you below. If you need further assistance, please feel free to give us a call. Have a great night and stay well.

So those of us with a BBS .41 mag have just become owners of collectible (or obsolete) Henry's. Such is life.

thanks for the followup .... my interest is that of a casual observer .... hate the decision for 41 fans but am glad to hear that they are still going to offer brass models

Interesting, I was at my LGS a few days ago and they had both a rifle and a carbine steel in 41. Sold off all my 41 guns, ammo and reloading supplies so it makes no sense for me to jump into 41 again but man it’s tempting to grab one if they will become scarce. Good think the budget won’t allow that right now or I may do something foolish.

Go ahead we will forgive the foolishness here. Jump right in there and grab a 41. What were they asking for the Carbine model?

I'd be interested in that also. I paid $697 for mine in Aug 2018. But I bought on our tax free holiday, and no NICS fee. Would have been about $75 more a day later.

The only negative to this would be a loss of value to sellers trying to sell their old models with tubes only. No skin off my butt, I like mine so it's not for sale. I had a couple Marlins, and the .357 Cowboy would shave the brass as the cartridges were fed into it. You could see the scratches when you inspect them for reloading. By the time you got to the last round in it took a fair amount of force to drive it in there. Meh.
Tube loading is only troublesome in combat and I have a better rifle for that use. But not much better!

Al and Gunny,

The 41 mag BBS prices were $739 for the rifle and $749 for the carbine. Not sure why the difference but it looks like they have had the rifle on hand longer due to the condition of the price tags. 8.1% sales tax on top of the price of course. You guys made me go back to the shop and look, thank you.
