Just picked it up today.
It's late and the lighting isn't fabulous, but I think you get the idea. 45 LC

Thank you sir. When I opened it I was glad to see they lived up to what they advertise on their website.

That is gorgeous! Beautiful wood and pretty shiny brass. It will be sad to see the brass left to go patina.

Well it's not like I can't shine it later if for some reason the patina look doesn't appeal to me. For some reason it does on my Yellowboy so I'm thinking the same might be a good thing here as well.

Rainy out today but slightly better light given this was during the day. To be honest not sure if the picture is really any better. Maybe slightly better picture of the wood.

Thank you sir.
By the way since there was a recent subtraction this is a welcome addition but the total has not changed.

HRA flagship rifle. Beautiful.
The only way it could be better is with a nice dull patina on it....

I hear you and actually my YellowBoy has the same thing going as well.
Just have to see if Henry Repeating Arms brass will take on the same look.
