What are the receivers made of ? I'm thinking cast white metal.
They are painted so they are not steel.
Thanks

They call it Zamak,
Henry Repeating Arms of 59 E 1st St, Bayonne, New Jersey, makes their .22LR rifle receivers out of high pressure castings of Zamak which is a zinc-aluminium-magnesium-copper alloy. The casting is then either painted to match the color of the rest of the gun or it is covered with brass-plated sheetmetal.

Thank you Vaquero I am reblueing a late 70's one and the guy would like me to redo the receiver to. Brownells is out of aluma hide at the moment so I am on a notify list.

Re: lever 22
What rifle are you asking about? The first Henrys were made in the late 90’s.

It just says Henry Repeating Arms Co. Brooklyn NY. and 22LR.
The guy told me late 70's but I didn't know when new Henry's first come about.
I just got into them a few years ago.
