What Firearms Would You Like To See Henry Make?

Post by Sir Henry » Tue Mar 22, 2016 10:41 am

I would like to see Henry make a .410 lever action and a .410/.22WMR over and under. I know others have mentioned an 1873 clone but there are so many other companies that make them it would be a hard market to break into. But not many make a .410 lever. I have a Winchester 9410 and its fun to shoot but doesn't have the smooth action of a Henry.

I would buy a .410 lever action shotgun. I think it would be great for squirrel hunting.

I agree. I wonder if it could be made based on the H001? Seems the action would be strong enough but with a wider shell the receiver might be too narrow.

Glad to see this posted again.

What I would like to see Henry make is an 1873 type Revolver.

(I asked Dan about it at the old place, but he never responded to it. Since then I went out and bought a Ruger Vaquero. But would still like to see Henry make one).

I just got my American Rifleman magazine and it shows a Henry Long Range lever. Chambered in 223 Rem. 243 Win. 308 Win. I could go for that in 223 Rem.

I would buy one even though I have several Rugers and Uberti SA revolvers.

I would LOVE to see HENRY make this too!

I would like HENRY to make a .410 simple, old fashioned style shotgun. One that holds one or two shotgun shells.

A double barreled .410 would be nice but I favor a tube fed lever or an over and under .410/.22WMR. Does anyone even make them anymore?

Should be easy for them to chamber the"new rifle" in .358 Win. that way skipping the .35 Remington and getting straight away to the good stuff.

I really, really, really wish Henry would bring back the Accu-bolt, but make it a modern reproduction of an old "boys rifle," a single shot bolt action .22, with a wood stock and blued barrel.

I emailed a request for this to Henry awhile back. I didn't get my wish for the rifle, but I did get a nice coffee mug and a hat in the mail instead. I really appreciated that.

I already emailed Henry and asked for a .22 Mag, octagon barrel and color case hardened, but they said it was not in their plans at present. I just thought it would look nice next to my .30-.30, octagon barrel, color case hardened. Never hurts to ask.

I'm wondering when aftermarket companies will start making replacement parts for rimfire Henrys such as steel receiver covers, custom barrels and such. Several people are already making custom large loops. I know this is not in Henrys scheme of things but I believe it will happen. Imagine the Classic becoming the lever action version of the Ruger 10/22 with a ton of aftermarket products for it.

Can you imagine the tooling & re-tooling that would happen at Henry RAC, if they were to strive to fill all these firearms wishes?!? :o
Still, always fun to have a "Henry Wish List!"

I agree. We are just chiming in not knowing the feasibility of making our dream firearm.

Yup, a lot of "ding-donging" happening to Henry's ear. Must be a pleasant sound for them to hear how much they are in demand for on-going, new product lines :!:
