Does anyone make a Henry rifle repro??

[tula]

Anyone know if anyone is making a reproduction of the Henry rifle anymore??

 

[Skoal32]

Henry Repeating Arms does, as does Uberti.

Do any of the site sponsors carry either brand of this rifle?

 

[antiqueguy]

I think the one from henry is special order its a expensive gun as well although id rather have the American made one

Uberti also makes a reproduction of the 1860 Henry. Website has all the info. Any of the site sponsors who carry Uberti firearms can get this one for you.

If you get one look into the extra care needed for loading the tube magazine. Specifically the safety aspects of using center fire rounds in a gun intended for rimfire cartridges.

It's not a big deal. It just means lowering the follower handle onto the cartridges instead of letting it slam down.

That and I strongly believe in flat nose bullets in a tube fed repeater, I used to shoot the 71/84 mauser and always used flat nose rounds so the recoil wouldn't beat the nose of one bullet off the primer of the one ahead.

It's a great rifle. Mine is in .44 WCF (.44-40). Very accurate, and it is not that complicated to use. Shoot Frontiersman in Cowboy Action with it.

I just think it would make a nice hunting rifle, always liked the style of it.

the henry tube loads from the front since it was originally a rimfire gun there was not as big of a safety issue when the follow was let loose with the centerfire models you want to make sure the rounds are not slamming into each other and the follower does not slam into the rounds

Depends on what you're hunting. Take note that the toggle linkage used in the receiver isn't the strongest thing around. And it's mounted in a brass alloy receiver. So you want to limit the gun to loads that are no stronger than a black powder 44-40. And in fact this is already a step up from the original .44 Henry rimfire rounds that the original Henry and the later 1866 Yellowboy were chambered in. The .44-40 didn't see use in a lever gun until the steel version of the Yellowboy came out in 1873. So by using the 44-40 in these brass frame guns we're already pushing the limits.

id take a cast bullet .44-40 load after whitetail but from what I can see the new made henrys can take factory loaded ammo no problem(Hickok45 has done vids with the henry repeating arms and I think the uberti)

This is what I've been told also. There is a gunsmith locally who is firing some very stiff loads from his yellowboy. I would never approach what he says he's doing and I won't post it here.
