CCH Large Loop?

... if I didn't know otherwise, I'd think it came with the CCH lever

It does look good, JEBar; beautiful, in fact. Perfect match! Thanks for steadily updating this thread and posting the photos.

The bigger loop looks much nicer on the rifle than the original. For some reason I had it in my head that it was a Rifleman(Chuck Conners) big loop. Glad to see it's not.

CCH lever arrived .... install method is the same as removing/reinstalling the OEM lever for when cleaning .... first time I tried to close the new one, it didn't want to go all the way .... removed and reinstalled, same result .... removed and reinstalled again, same result .... reinstalled and removed the OEM lever, operated as it should .... reinstalled the CCH lever, didn't close all the way (couldn't pull trigger) .... after looking at it for a bit, I physically squeezed the lever and it closed all the way .... worked it several times, performed well .... I believe that after some more opening and closing, it will operate every bit as smoothly as the OEM .... as with the large levers on our 44 & 357 Mags, I really having the additional space inside the lever .... it suits me well .... bottom line, I like it .... first picture shows OEM lever ... after that, contrasting them and with the CCH installed .... if I didn't know otherwise, I'd think it came with the CCH lever

since installing the new lever this morning, I've worked the action (without shooting) way over 100 times .... as anticipated, it works smoothly .... I have also been delighted to see that there aren't any surface scratches .... early on I did have a couple of small ones on the OEM lever just below the screw you have to take out so as to remove the lever .... for me, that's a plus

Looks real good.

Looks good Jim thanks for posting that pic. Gives us other color case 45-70 owners something to go by. I do usually shoot my all weather more than the CCH.

to me, going to a large loop, improves the operation of our Henry rifles .... it feels better to me .... going with a CCH finish is a different story .... it is strictly a matter of preference, not one of function .... I believe Henry will sell bunches of both

Wouldn't the 30-30 or any of the Big Boy CCH Large Loops pretty much look like this, proportionally? That's not really the Chuck Connors/Rifleman look, is it? Isn't it pretty much like the SGC loop? I guess I've not seen a live version of the large loop bigger bores.

Ooops. That got mucked up, didn't it?

The problem is the aspect ratio of your file (1024x224). Edit photos to conform to 4:3 ratio and it will appear as intended.

Not sure why it would look different than this.
