That is good news. If I was buying a new lever action i would give Henry a very serious look. The tube loading is counter to my levers but not a game changer. In many decades of hunting with levers I have never needed to reload while hunting. One accidental discharge happened when a guy dropped the hammer on a Win 94 while unloading. The Henry system shines for unloading and never having to chamber a round or work the lever.
I still use my 444 or Win 94s and 92s but if buying a new lever Henry makes an honest alternative to a Remlin, Winoku, Rossi or Italian choices. Most folks rave about the fit and finish.
