The modern ones are Henry in name only.But Henry was the original. Everyone else wanted to be like Mike ( or Henry in this case).
Maybe it’s because I was raised watching The Rifleman and westerns as a kid.
I am sure my youth experiences are the reason I have always loved them ........Grew up watching the same shows .I read way too many Louis L'Amour books growing up to not have lever guns as an adult.
Which one, the rifle or the saddle ring carbine?Still look at the Winchester 1886 in 45-70 from time to time.
The 1895 in 30-06 is another.
OK... I need to stop before I pull out the scotch and fire up Gunbroker.
Which one, the rifle or the saddle ring carbine?
I have both of the 1886's from Brownings late 80's early 90's release.
With the Browning release the carbine came with the mid range ladder rear sight and the rifle came with the small folder.
and a high grade 1895 from the same period in 30-40
It's funny, my gfather was a lever guy.When ever the choice is between two rifles, the correct answer is both!
Sorry Ben, FIFY. It was more than I could stand.All of John Browning Designs guns are just classics, which few other categories of guns can match.
My Gfather and Father would say, If John Browning were here, He would shoot it.I have an 1894 in 44-40 that I love to cycle and look at.
Not planning on ever shooting it. Was gifted to my by a prolific collector on his 80th birthday.
i don't have any black powder 44-40 rounds.My Gfather and Father would say, If John Browning were here, He would shoot it.
Now load the rifle and shoot it boy!
I do have a few I have never shot, I'm no so sure my sons will feel the same.
No smokeless options available?i don't have any black powder 44-40 rounds.
I'll have to go pull it out of the safe and let you know.No smokeless options available?
What was the year it was manufactured? And whats stamped on the barrel?
Smokeless? Fluid Steel?
