Re: New Henry?
Dang...should I have waited another year to get my .44 Mag Carbine???
Will Henry continue to make the tube loaders along with expanding the side gate rifle to all calibers?
Henry will OWN the lever rifle market in the USA.!

There's more to this than just the cover, so I doubt there will be any "retrofit" for existing models.babo wrote:oh god, i really hope they make receiver covers with the side loading that is somehow compatible with existing henrys!!
I'm not a fan of receiver covers or brass, but this is a good looking entry into a crowded field. I'll wait for the machined BBSC version.

Re: New Henry?
"[Y]ou can keep running and gunning . . ." What phrase. The load gate is not new. I guess it can be done with a Henry now too. The choice becomes, what is the best buy for the money?

So you're sayin that these calibers are not good hunting choices?GFK wrote:This could be true. I guess I see it like a Sunday go to meeting suit. Sure, I could wear a suit for hunting. But, it may not be the best choice. Likewise, of course, the rifle could be used for hunting. It just would not be my first choice. But, to each their own. This why there are so many choices.Vaquero wrote:I never understand this statement, it's a rifle/tool. Use it for what they were intended.GFK wrote: Seems like a win-win. Looks kind of fancy though. I probably be concern with taking any place other than to a range.
No matter what rifle I buy, and if it is new or used, it is going to the woods.
Sure it may get a ding or a scratch, but it's just a tool.
I guess you wouldn't consider a used gun, because it may have a scratch.
I don't intentionally beat mine up but if by some reason it gets a scratch or a ding I don't sit down and cry.
Heck any range trip could have the same effect, end of rant.

Not sure where ya live, but unless the critters your hunting have to be Sniped,
or really Big.
What's the matter with hunting with any of those three calibers.

Re: New Henry?
Well, I was referring to style not caliber. The 38-55 seems interesting. But, I think I preferring steel.Vaquero wrote:So you're sayin that these calibers are not good hunting choices?GFK wrote:This could be true. I guess I see it like a Sunday go to meeting suit.

Re: New Henry?
Uh, not quite - the loading gate is an integral opening machined into the receiver that interfaces with the mag tube and incorporates a spring loaded 'cover' that closes over the opening. Not quite a slap on receiver cover retrofit......oh god, i really hope they make receiver covers with the side loading that is somehow compatible with existing henrys!!

Re: New Henry?
I wonder why the side loader model pictured still has the pull out tube and the tube loading port. Is the pull out tube going to be kept on the side loader models for easy unloading?
