Hey Bruce, I finally got your book. Thought I would take a fitting pic before I start it.
Here is my 1894c
I purchased it from a good friend of mine who is getting a little long in the tooth. He got me interested in cowboy action shooting and this was the first lever action i ever fired. I sort of lost interest in cowboy for a while and then bought all the kit for CAS 3 years ago. This spring i saw him sitting at a local swap meet with it on the table. Nobody was interested so i asked if he could do me the favor of putting it away as i really wanted it but didnt have the cash with me. He said if its for you to keep i will hold onto it. I kept my word, made some deals and 2 weeks later it was mine. He or I just couldn't see it go into some strangers grubby hands.
This ones not going anywhere!

Here's a nice Winchester Model 1886 in .50-110 caliber. It isn't mine and if it was, I'd probably sell it and pay off my house. ...
Woooowwwww !!! Thats gorgeous ...
I have the H012M in .357mag. Shot over 700 rounds through it last year with not a single stoppage or misfeed or anything going wrong ever. Reliable as a rock, pretty accurate, I have no hesitation to recommend it. I have never seen one single bad review of a Henry.
Here's a pic with a couple targets I shot at 100m from a rest-and-bag, first is commercial Am Eagle ammo, second is one of the handloads I'm experimenting with.
See, now this what happens when you go to Cabella's for a look around. You find Henry Golden Boys and Nikon P-Rimfire scopes on sale! Cool little plinker, loves Yellow Jackets too. I took it to the range yesterday and sighted it in, it puts 5 in ragged hole at 50 yards with them.
