Provider and Protector

[5shot]

I got an e-mail from Henry today about these two models. Really just Big Boy rifles and carbines with pistol grip stocks.....BUT....a couple new calibers for the blued rifle....35 Rem and .38/55 They've offered those rounds previously in the brass rifle which I personally have no interest in. The carbine is offered with a threaded muzzle and is chambered in the usual cartridges along with the .360.

I jumped on the .360 bandwagon last year with both an X Model and a single shot. If the .35 Rem and .38/55 were available in blued guns when the .360 came out there would be one in the safe now and I might never have bothered with the buckhammer. My X Model .360 is a fine and good shooting rifle but just a bit too heavy for a walking around hunting rifle. My .360 single is a dedicated mid range cast bullet shooter that is loaded to about .357 max performance and it's a very accurate little jewel. Now the .360 is going to be be available in a blued 16" carbine with a pistol grip?

Don't know that I will but it's getting painfully obvious that Henry isn't going to honor my request for a .41 mag side gate.

Well that’s not good news for me as I prefer a pistol grip stock. Gonna have to go take a look…….

I agree on the 35 and 38-55 should be offeed in their bbs series, they're hunting calibers, for Christ sakes. But, they're too busy catering to the young ones and don't care about Real hunters.
And, don't get me started on the carvedup forearm with Henry plastered on in it. Hell, one look and most any levegun enthusiast can take quick glance and can tell it's not a Marlin or Winchester rifle.

I'd be curious to know how many 41's have been produced and sold.

Darn nice looking rifle in my opinion. This is the protector carbine H9 in either .30/30 or .360. I don't know what the distortion is all about.

I liked the 357magnum Provider. That sure would look good in my gun safe

...I don't know what the distortion is all about.

It's a known bug. The 3rd party software extension that does the posting doesn't always get the aspect ratio correct.

[Hatchdog]

I saw a video from the Shot Show showing a .223 caliber with some talk about some pretty impressive accuracy. I’ve always been a .223 fan boy so that appeals to me. No actual “need or use” for it. But I’m all set up with brass, dies, bullets and powder so……

[Hatchdog]

Well, maybe not in my budget.

While I don't particularly care for the appearance of that rifle I can see a whole lot of utility. The 18" barrel is a realistic practical minimum for a .223. The pic rail and adjustable cheekpiece would simplify scoping. At 6.2 lbs I could picture hanging a Harris swivel bipod on it and mounting a 4X12 Leupold, having a roll up shooters mat under my arm, a backpack with a couple jugs of water, a couple protein bars and a few hundred rounds of ammo.....and then wreaking havoc across a certain 1000+ acre prairie dog town I know of near Broadus Montana...

That sounds like a ton of fun.

Just ran a few rounds through this little .360 carbine. I can't say how accurate it is until it gets some optics mounted. The 16" barrel does cost a little velocity. Full power 200 gr. Hornady RN clocks around 2200 fps out of the 22" barrel of my single shot while this carbine just barely cracks 2000. That's still .35 Remington horsepower which has been doing the job for over a century.

Sweet handling little rascal and they put nice wood on it. I like it.

Great report. Not too crowded at your range, must be all that white dirt I can see in front of the line.

Yes it was a little frosty out there. One other guy there and he was in the heated shack with his new Ruger MK IV .22 that couldn't get through a full magazine without a jam. He wasn't very good company so I just went in there long enough to warm up. Can't blame him for being upset but I don't envy the Ruger customer service person that got to take his call.

I have an order in with Ranger point so the "Protector" will soon be wearing a takedown screw, a hammer extension and a pic rail.

Is that a 'Goat' brass catcher? I use one and like it.

I'm not familiar with the Goat brass catcher??

[Cofisher]

Hey 5shot, I misinterpreted the photo. Look it up. The brass catcher is a great device.

Well someone with a new 16” 45-70 please tell me the length of the tube? I have a full size 45-70 H10 and the barrel barely clears the tube at 18.25”. Henry tells me the tubes are the same length. How can that be possible?

According to the Henry website:
The H10 Provider Rifle magazine capacity is 6 rounds, while the H10 Protector Carbine magazine is 4 rounds. Obviously between those 2 models the tubes are not the same length.

In some other 45-70 models, the mag tube length for the Rifle and Carbine versions is the shorter 4 round tube. Examples: H10 CCH and H10 Brass.

[DSchmidt23]

The Provider isn’t 45-70. I’m looking specifically at the tubes on the H10 rifle compared to the H10 Protector. Looks to me like the standard mag tube is longer after the tube loading cutout.

Maybe I'm not getting what you're getting at. ???
The barrel of the H10 Protector Carbine is shorter that the H10 CCH Rifle. Both have a 4 round magazine. The difference in those two pictures is due to barrel length. 22" for the rifle and 16.5" for the carbine. There was an older model, H010 GCC (CCH) with an 18.43 barrel, also 4 round magazine. In the older model, the receiver may be different with placement of the mag tube pushed further out. Looking at Henry website I don't see an H10 CCH with a 18.5" barrel, just the 22". So maybe what you have is the older H010 GCC???
