New .357 Color Case Hardened Carbine
New .357 Color Case Hardened Carbine
I picked up my new .357 color case hardened carbine today. It has a nice pattern on the receiver. I noticed one thing different. If you check the Henry website and look at the .357 Steel Big Boy Carbine and the .357 Color Case Hardened Carbine the specs say both hold 7 rounds but if you look at the photos of the rifles you will see that the mag tube of the .357 CCH Carbine is a little longer than the .357 Steel Carbine mag tube. I can load 8 rounds of .357 ammo in my CCH Carbine with the tip of the eighth round about 1/4" above the rear edge of the loading slot so there is plenty of room for the brass mag spring tube. I tried .38 Special and was able to load eight rounds. The ninth round made the ammo stack about 1/4" too long for the brass mag spring tube to lock.
I'll post some photos later when I get a chance.
I did add to the totals thread and now the total is 1112.

Here are some photos with a Skinner rear sight and dove tail filler that holds an extra aperture. I'll try for better photos when the sun is out.

Re: New .357 Color Case Hardened Carbine
I noticed that I'll need a taller front sight with the Skinner rear sight. I've ordered a red fiber optic front sight from Ranger Point Precision. They use a 0.040" fiber which is smaller than the standard 0.060" which should make it easier to hit at 100 yards or so.

Very nice. I would probably have gotten one rather than my BBB .357 if they had had one at my LGS. I'm not sure they were even available then.

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.......

More photos. Here is my case hardened family. The hawk was done by Tyler Gun Works who also did the Henry receiver.
