I would like to hear comments from members who own the new Henry 1860. Likes, dislikes, problems, I own a Uberti 1860 and am thinking about selling it and investing in the new Henry 1860 in .44-40. My OCD may be kicking in, I have collected 6 Henry lever actions and I would love to have all my lever guns to be Henry’s.

There is only 2 guys here that own one that I know of and one of those guys just bought his. The other member likes his from what he has posted. His is in 45 colt and has some really nice wood on it.

Henry 1860's are truly beautiful rifles .... if you load your own ammo 44-40's make some fine ammo .... its out there in factory loads but it comes at a pretty price .... 45LC is well worth considering no matter if you load your own or use factory ammo

Might want to watch this, it's a little boring in spots but you can see the 2 side by side.

i think maybe might make sense for me to use the cash I've saved up to purchase maybe a Side Gate Lever Action .38-55(H024-3855) or a Big Boy Color Case Hardened .44 Mag/.44 Spl (H012RCC) and a Pump Action .22 Mag(H003TM). So many choices ... aah
