Henry Repeating Arms Makes Best-Selling Lever-Action List

And I just noticed that the new ones have the slot machined in the outer magazine tube support.

Henry still doesn’t make a levergun with a receiver loading gate.
Many levergun fans want to see loading gates in the receiver of their rifles PERIOD.

Incorrect. Henry makes several models with a side loading gate.

Thanx for the enlightenment.
Live & learn.
I knew Henry would eventually have to bite the receiver loading gate bullet because of the large number of Winchester 92 & 94 diehards that declined buying Henry rifles because Henry had "dug in" on center fire tube loading.
The customer (the guy whose money you need to stay in business) is always right.
Seems the new Henry levergun the "Big Boy Steel Side Gate" has BOTH the tube loading and receiver loading ports.
I have the only other levergun I'm aware of that has BOTH tube & receiver loading ports which is the Amadeo Rossi 92 in 454 Casull.

I just snagged a used .44 X model and my tube looks just like that, so I guess they have fixed the issue.

There seems to be some quality control issues with recent Henry model X according to the internet..

Bull####. Ive never had a problem with my 30/30.

Here is a pic of another broken tube magazine. Not mine. Maybe the slot in the tube need a little deburring.

Mine is upgraded if you zoom in on the tube.
