I wonder why the side loader model pictured still has the pull out tube and the tube loading port. Is the pull out tube going to be kept on the side loader models for easy unloading?

According to Henry, yes.

I strongly suspect that with a strong market for the three new side load gate models, the feature will quickly be added to other models

The web reviews quote Henry as "more to follow".

Gave my local dealer a call today, said he can start getting them on the 1st. Gives me a few days to decide how badly I NEED one, although need generally hasn't been the basis of many of my firearms purchases.

This I understand! - and am glad I don't!

Tried to order one today and of course there not available yet. But I did see a price at Davidsons Gallery of guns of 875.00

That should be about right for retail.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FboK4wA1y7A&t=931s I really like this guy and I think his review of the new Henry is excellent.

[Rifletom]

WTG BigAl! Ain't wasting any time. I think that .38-55 is gonna be a seller.

[BigAl52]

I will post pictures soon. But I got my new Henry today the sidegate 38-55. I really like this gun. Im also really like what Henry did with the front sight in going from the gold bead to the white one. I can see that front sight a whole lot better. Im wanting to leave it as is because I like using irons. At this point Im still blessed with good enough eye sight to be able to use them.

Here it is. I slugged the bore tonight and its tighter than other 38-55 models I own. Bore slugs at .376. Now to order more bullets

[Rifletom]

Wow, that looks good! And it comes with swivels to boot! Nice.

That's some shiny brass too. I can see your picture taking reflection in it! Congrats!

[ESquared]

That's really nice, Al, congrats. I like what they did with the checkering. Fancier, but not crazy/over-the-top! You're right, the guy doing the vid review is very thorough and seems to really know what he's doing/talking about.

Look foward to a range report!

back on Wed Apr 24, 2019 8:55 pm JayZuv opened this thread on Henry's introduction of a side gate loader to their lineup .... somehow it seems like we've been talking about them for much longer than 3 months .... right now Henry only offers this rifle in a single line and in 3 calibers .... personally, I have no interest in purchasing any they offer at this point but have been thinking about what they might offer down the line that I'd be interested in ....

for me it would have to be Color Case Hardened, most likely a carbine, in a caliber that could launch heavy bullets

[BigAl52]

You may well get your wish Jim but I still haven't seen one in 35 Remington available yet. I know I have read on a few other forums of the same wish. Come out with some in pistol cartridge chamberings.
