Anyone that knows me knows I have a unhealthy obsession with large caliber rifle's. My currant tinker toy is a Henry 45-70. While it's not my AR50 it's (to me) considered large caliber. And I love to shoot it. About the only thing I can say that I wish the gun had was a longer barrel. The 45-70 round is worthy of it. I am surprised Henry did not go longer then 18.5 inches.
Has anyone re-barreled newer Henry? I can't tell if it is a press fit or a threaded barrel. I'd guess a press fit. Regardless, it's a job I am most likely not capable of. I'd love to see it with a 24 inch barrel. I can't find any onfo on re-barreling the rifle. I could always call Henry but I thought it would make a good post topic.
To those that hate the ideal, no need to post negatively. It's my ideal. Good or bad. And it may never even happen. But I am compelled to ask questions!
