Lever Love?

[shadowofnight]

Good info here, I assume this would go for most models ?
We should bump this up and or add it to some of the Henry threads.

Just use the standard Contact Henry form, and in the drop down menu where it asks reason for contacting Henry...pick " Trouble finding a Henry "

Honestly, I was surprised and pleased with the the fast response

What?

Since Covid-19 hit I have had more time at home and been on CALGUNS forums more. It seems that there are many Lever Lovers on the Centerfire manually operated forum. I ask why the Lever Love? I am a hunter and recreational shooter and I even grew up on westerns and Chuck Conner's and The Rifleman, but all my rifles are either bolts or semi autos and my shotguns auto, break and pump. The only lever I have ever shot much is a friends 38-40 and it was a nice low recoil rifle however saw no benefits over others or need to go out and buy one. So CALGUN Lever Lovers am I missing something? What is your reason for Lever Love? Any benefit over the more mainstream(majority of guns on racks at stores)?

Forget it, if you cannot feel the love, forget it.

Well, you could look at the Winchester/Miruko's. Those are some damn fine leverguns. Check them out. The decision is yours.

The Miruko Winchesters are beautiful. Well-made, beautiful wood, and a stunning deep blue finish. I had a Cabela's 50th Anniversary one in 38-55. I ended up selling it.... why? Tang safety. I could not mount a tang sight on it, and did not want to drill/tap the receiver for a receiver sight. Also, the trigger was very sloppy, almost a two stage, and primer strikes were light so there were a few misfires every now and again..... not good for silhouette competition.

Always like to share my collection. I like the patina and history of the old Winchesters, so aside from the Marlin all my lever guns are vintage originals. Check out the wood on this all original 1940 Winchester '94 carbine, in 25-35:

My first Lever

Well, I found it. My first lever. I was full of joy when I got this. It was only a Cap gun, but who cares. Wish I still had it. Love.
