Gunsmoke Today
On Gunsmoke today, they mentioned the Henry 44, referring to the Model 1860. Now the time of the setting I would say to be roughly 1870 to 1875. Matt stated that the 44 (Rimfire) Ammo was no longer made. Wondering what year it was that they stopped the manufacture of them?

Re: Gunsmoke Today
Wonder if they were any gaps in the manufacture of it or if it was continuously available in the US through all those years.
A question that's probably too hard to answer though, lol.

Re: Gunsmoke Today
This is an interesting article about pistol caliber rifles like the Henry .44 rimfire...

Re: Gunsmoke Today
I have an original unfired Henry .44 rimfire cartridge I bought at a gun show. Here it is next to a 45 Colt.
