Re: What Firearms Would You Like To See Henry Make?

I have a couple or three wishes. First (I think this is a repeat) I'd like to see the H009 chambered in 35 Remington. It's a wonderful cartridge, sort of the .30-30 on steroids. The 35 has a small but very loyal following, made up of shooters who swear by its effectiveness as a hunting round. The 35 kills stuff deader. :)

Second, I'd like to see more of the lever guns offered with Skinner sights as standard equipment.


Lastly, I'd love to see a "handier" pistol caliber carbine. The Big Boys, while they're excellent rifles, are aptly named. They're big. I wonder if Henry could put one on a diet, and make a slimmer, trimmer gun in .357/.38.

I'm thinking something like the old Winchester Trapper.

An 1866 and an 1873 in 44-40 and 45 Colt. It would be great to see these rifles made in the USA again.

Might need to use the Long Ranger format for 17 Winchester Super Mag, using a modified 223 bolt on the 25 caliber rimmed case.
I mean I like the Octagon look but what ever works.

I wish Henry would make a Big Bore Long Ranger in 450 Marlin! It really needs a pistol grip and a 1" Pachmayer Decelerator pad. Could also use a threaded barrel fitted with a recoil arrestor for the timid and target shooting. A all weather version of this would be even better!

I would love to see Henry dress up their octagon barrel .22 HOO1-T with a shiny Evil Roy receiver cover and chromed screws, the shiny barrel band and checkered stock & forearm.
