Yes, Henry does seem to offer a lot.
Yes they do - I wonder if they have themselves spread too thin?

Great point. Painted wood and chrome are not my idea of all weather guns, especially painted wood. It still cracks and gets gouges like any other wood stock and if it's only applied, externally, it does nothing to prevent swelling/contracting in changes of climate. That's the whole point of going with a synthetic stock. Chrome plating on the external metal metal parts still doesn't protect the bore, not to mention it almost guarantees an irregular finish on external parts. Calling such a gun "all weather" is a marketing ripoff. Good way to cover up reject parts that wouldn't otherwise make the grade on the steel and wood versions.
I have to disagree. My all weather 45/70 is beautiful in my opinion. Finish and function is superb. I had my choice of all weather or standard. Had both in my hands. If it's not your thing then that is fine but to call it sub par and made of reject parts is just wrong. It's not "painted" either. I will take care of it like any other gun I own but this gun is made to survive use and abuse in harsh conditions.

Sorry, no offense intended. Wasn't referring to the Henry, specifically. Rather to some other guns I've seen on the market. My mistake.

Sorry NCG. I didn't realize you were talking about other guns too. I know what you mean

For Mistered. The stock is made of wood with an almost black stain that still shows some grain. It appears to have a very durable finish.

I have nothing against the All-Weather, I think the point was more of comparing a solid material to a coated finish. Which, Henry advertises the barrel and receiver as being "Chrome Plated". But, it has a lifetime warranty. So, maintaining it should not be an issue.

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.......

Looks like the butt of the ‘famous’ mod 1873 found in Nevada a couple years ago!
