henry repeating company new gun

[antiqueguy]

new offer from henry http://henryrepeating.com/The-Original-Henry-Rifle.cfm I hope to see some here soon

Really nice. Love to have one, but not in my budget, for awhile.

 

[chrisco]

That is one nice rifle.
Even at the MSRP of $2300 I personally think it's a bargain
Something tells me we won't see one up here.

 

[antiqueguy]

there is Italian made version for cheaper but Id really like to see these here even at the MSRP price

 

[Darth Vaper]

Lovely.
If it comes here, I'd be tempted and may spring for one. Definitely a keeper.

Mmmm that's purdy.

 

[Silveragent]

It beautiful. Umberti makes a copy. On the Henry one I read some comments on TruthaboutGuns that give me pause. Doesn't matter as I cannot spend $2300+ on it anyway.

What's $2300 in 1860 money?

Found it; a little over $100

No doubt it's a pricey item. I was just curious what they sold for back in the day for comparison. Still looking.

Nice.

Nice, I'd love to have one but at $2300 I'll get a Marlin. Or a more budget friendly Henry.

Not a rock-solid source, but this site claims they 'were far too expensive ($45 to $65 each) to be issued in large numbers during the Civil War':

Interesting looking site. Ideal for the gun nut/movie buff.

Uberti 1860 Henry Lever Action Repeating Rifle

Not exactly 'cheap' at $1300. Unless a reproduction is considerably less, one should probably go with the original.

Original? Just because it is US made, and the company is using the Henry name doesn't make it an original.
There is an original in the EE @ 32.5k.

Fair point. I suppose not much is 'original' these days. A little slow sometimes, I was a little bummed to read the current Triumph Motorcycles are made likely anywhere else other than GB.

My point is that for collector's value, the Henry, wherever made, is still a name that will likely hold it's value over that of a manufacturer known for knocking out replicas.

 

[tiriaq]

Aren't Triumphs made in India? Or is that BSA?

These Henry repros are no doubt very nicely made.

Thanks for that! So converted to 21st century $ those would sell for ~$900-1300. Given the current market demand for firearms $2300 is on the high side but could moderate downward depending on supply and demand.
