LEVER GUN SHOW AND TELL.

[SPOOK331945]

I'll have to get a picture of me and the old mans collection. We're getting to be quite the Henry fans.

But here's a new one Marlin just announced this past month or so. Their making it in both the 1895 and 336

Idk about you all, but I NEED IT!

They were showing these off at the NRA thing that was downtown. They were pretty slick.

I want one of the 1895 bad. Midwest industries makes a Mlok rail for it, itd be a nice change from the AR AK world for once

I like that marlin is trying new things with their lever guns, but if I were to buy a new lever gun today it'd be a Case Hardened Henry in 45/70. My only hesitation on buying one now is that I'd be broken hearted if they came out with a side feed version of it next year.

I tried to buy a Henry 410 lever gun today, but got delayed on the background check (for the second time in a row ). I'll have to go pick it up someday when it clears. Seems like it will be a pretty versatile little gun.

I'm only going to mention this here because this type of setup comes up from time to time in discussions about scoped or scout type setups for lever guns, but there's a new puma 92 44 mag scout rig up on gunbroker as of today just in case anyone wants to try chasing it down: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/812300750

Thanks. My father bought it for me for my birthday. I just picked it up today and ran about twenty rounds through it to see how it handled different things.

That’s cool! Marlin?

Just my humble opinion, but something just dont look right for a lever to have a red dot and flashlight. Seems sacrilegious.

...or a threaded barrel.


I know what you mean, but dog-gone-it, lever guns are highly practical...

It's the Henry. I just got it for my birthday and quite like it. All my other levers are rimfire or 44 Mag, so the longer throw of the lever on this one threw me off initially. I'm used to it now.

On my wishlist

I need to get a better light on it. The plastic one ruins it with all the wood and metal of the rest of the rifle.

I only ever add scopes to lever-actions when I want to see - and therefore, hit - my target. I know you said red dot and flashlight, but a lot of people feel the same way about scopes.

p.s. Old eyes suck, so you do what you have to do.

I have an optic on my 17HMR. The illuminated reticle is great for getting rid of varmints at night. Finding 30mm rings that mounted to rimfire tip-off mounts took some work, though (Warne are the only ones I could find that make them).

That's a great looking Henry/Leupold setup Gabriel. I have the Varmint Express version of the Henry .17. Very smooth actions on the Henry lever-actions. I didn't know those Warne rings came in 30mm. I have a 30mm Vortex on a CZ rimfire that I had to use the adaptors-plus-Weaver rings on. I think I'll look for those Warne rings. Much cleaner look. Thanks for sharing that.

I don’t see a loading port so I assume removable mag tube?

Yes. It holds five rounds of 2 1/2" shells (it isn't chambered for 3").

Well, actually it holds six rounds.

I own a couple of levers I never shot a deer with one yet I might take them out this year.
That's not a Rossi is it?

Back when I bought mine it was a "puma" that was later bought by "legacy", which was later bought by Rossi.
