Henry Rifle Forums

I'm no good at introductions; but I always welcome a chance to discuss lever guns.
I have a Big Boy .357 and have just ordered a 24" Frontier octagon, should be here Tuesday.
Looking forward to putting a Skinner sight on that one.
My little collection includes:
3 Rossi's; 24" octagon Brass receiver '92 (rare, from what I've heard). .45 Colt
24" octagon steel receiver '92 .357 with Marble Tang sight.
16" Stainless '92 w Marble tang sight. .45 Colt

18.5 Marlin 1895 Guide gun 45-70
20" Winchester 1894 Canadian Centennial Octagon barrel 30-30
and a "Red Ryder" BB gun ( it's what started it all....)

Oh, and an M1 Garand which would be even better if it had a lever! LOL

I'm looking forward to reading some valuable info from members!

20" Winchester 1894 Canadian Centennial Octagon barrel 30-30

Got two commemoratives myself - a 20" 'Buffalo Bill' and a 26 " 1966 100 year commemorative.
And an 'original' 1899 26" 'Klondike' Sporting rifle.

Welcome from the TV, Oregon. My Daisy Winchester BB gun is what got me started.

Welcome!!!


I got started on a Dasiy BB Gun myself. It wasn't a Red Ryder bnut it was a Daisy. Sure wish they made them like they used to. It actually had a real wooden stock and very much more like a 22 than a BB Gun at the time.

I too am a big fan of lever guns and Winchesters specifically. All fairly recent acquisitions and pistol caliber so I still unfortunately have minimal if any expertise.

Welcome to the Forum from KC! So glad to have you join us. Please jump in with both feet and fire away (!) with any questions.

My Dad bought a Crossman 760 in 1968 I would get it out of its hiding place and shoot in my backyard.
Taughtmyself how to shoot reading Hunting and Gun magazines.
Skeeter and Cooper were favorites

I was taught shooting and gun safety in public Jr. High School.

Welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Started shooting with Crossman BB and Pellet rifles and a Pellet pistol. Still have the rifles, don't know what happened to the pistol.

Welcome from Nebraska! Glad you are here.

Welcome indeed! From Western North Carolina. You will find this a very enjoyable forum.

Hello and welcome from central West Tenn.
I have one of those Rossi's in 357 with the 24" SS octagon barrels,
what a fun gun.
And I came real close to getting one of those Brass receiver ones, should have.
But I ended up with a Marlin 1894 Cowboy instead.

Will do;...By the way, got to ride in the nose of that beauty! Something I've wanted to do since I was a kid!
(Birthday gift from my wife!)

I wouldnt pass that up either. Always wanted a ride in P-51 just havent had the opportunity

My uncle was a Major in SAC when I was very young and let me sit in that front gunner seat...will never forget!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Mags, I too was taught gun safety in school in Pa., when we were actually allowed to bring our rifles to school so we could go hunting after school hours. We were told to "put them in the cupboards in the back of the classroom till it was time to leave". I miss those golden years when we were treated like responsible adults!
