Yes, no swivel hinges for a shoulder strap. Just a plain Jane 1860 Henry. The ladder sight will be fun to experiment with on the 250 yd range.

RR,

I think that your new rifle is beautiful!

You can share ammunition with the new one and with your other firearms too!

I think that using a dealer that you know well, that is fairly close to you in Canada, etc. is a good choice too.

Thanks Cate, I'm looking forward to getting it. Yes, having a dealer close is handy. I bought my Henry BB from Cabelas in Calgary which is 3 hours away, but if I had a problem, I could at least take it there and work with HRA to get it resolved. However with the H011C Original Henry, Cabelas won't special order, nor will any of the other bigger Sporting Goods guys here. I would have to buy from a Calgary Shooting club that sells guns in their store front at the range. Nice store for sure, but again, if I have a problem....? I know HRA would do their best to look after me, but shipping a rifle back and forth to them across the border; I'm not sure how that would work or how long it could take. There's an online outfit as well called IRUNGUNS.com that imports from the USA but again, what happens if I have a problem under warranty? Plus there's the price; with the crappy Canadian dollar right now, it's about $1.40 for a US dollar. So that $2300 US rifle is big bucks here. No discounts offered because it's a special order.
Anyhow, I did not read ANY bad reports of the Uberti 1860 Henry, and some guys have been shooting theirs for years trouble free, so I am pretty darn excited to get one!

It's a cool looking rifle and true to the original as far as a replica goes.

Here's a cool video of Hickok45 shooting it. Sweet!

Just talked to my LGS and he thinks my new 1860 will arrive before the end of March!

I hope it's everything you expect. They are fine looking rifles.

Only a couple of weeks until it's here....not that I'm excited or anything.

You know as soon as you get that rifle RR mother nature will throw her curse at you and you wont be able to shoot it for a week or two. Just sayin.

A lot of the parts for a 1866 or 1873 fit in your 1860 , like short stroke kits , wire spring ect . Keep this handy for parts and race gun parts .
