New Henry levers

[Halson]

Yeah, but if they came out with a Remington 1858 cartridge clone, or an 1873 Colt SAA clone, or a S&W Schofield top-break clone, they'd sell like hotcakes. Especially for giving us a US made option over the Italian guns. All of them would be period correct to match their lever guns.

Aside from their "New Original Henry" rifles, their lever guns aren't period correct (other than being lever guns).

As for the revolvers, I like them. They remind me of earlier revolvers that had just enough metal in all the right places to be as strong as necessary but no more.

A cartridge firing 1858 isn't correct either. I doubt they'd make a 4 click SAA either. I doubt they'd make the S&W clone in .45 Schofield either. That's why they'd fit perfectly with the Henry levers. None of them are correct. But they closely represent a certain period of the American frontier.

Does anyone own a Henry homesteader 9mm carbine???

I'm on the fence about it and any feedback would be appreciated.

Look for a YouTube review, the one I saw was horrible. Think jam-o-matic on steroids

How many manufacturers make a revolver and lever gun?

I think Henry might be on to something.....

My SHTF pairing is my Taylor/Uberti 1873 in .357 and my Ruger G-100. Kinda like the cowboys did back in the day.

Wow….those revolvers are ugly…sorry Henry

Ruger is one, obviously. They've built good, tough revolvers, both single-action and double-action, for a long time now. The purchase of Marlin and their reintroduction of the new and improved Marlin leverguns just makes it even better.

They also built some lever guns back in the day .. the model Ninety-Six was introduced in 1996 (rim fire and a 44mag) I thought they also made one in .357.

[RNE228]

My reference was to an ultra short action in pistol cartridge like 38/357, 44sp/mag.

Yes, the 7615 was a nice setup in 223 though.

They did make the 7615 for a while. Uses AR mags IIRC. Orignally sold as a patrol carbine.

I saw a review online - the gun the guy received was lacking the charging lever (kinda hard to shoot without it)

The stock checkering wasn't really checkering. Not at all what you'd expect from Henry, especially given their prices.

I just started DROS on a newly released 38/357 Henry Big Boy side gate brass model with a large lever loop. Holding it was glorious and the brass is unbelievably beautiful.

That said, the revolvers look terrible IMO.

[plumbum]

I gotta know, for those who have them or have seen them in action: Are the new Henry rifles worth $1000? I mean $899 to $940 plus DROS and tax is quite the chunk (at least I tell myself it is). Heck, the new Marlins aren't far off, they're like $1150 - such is the times. But man o man would I love one of those X-rifles, I just can't seem to choke that price down.

Had my X for a while now and send quite a few rounds downrange. Really enjoy it. Mine had a feeding issue with some softpoint ammo, send it back to Henry. They fixed it and now it runs really smooth with all types of ammo.

Personally I ended up getting a woodstock setup and love the way it looks now.

The fiber sights work pretty well, but I ended up with a red dot.
Mine has been a ton of fun and great shooter with a solid feel to it. I have a 357. The side and tube load is pretty handy. If I had to do it again I would look at one of the woodstock Henry’s with a pistol grip and big loop, as well as side gate. I prefer the lighter round barrel and 17-18” is plenty of barrel for a pistol caliber.

With all that said, the new Ruger/Marlins do look great, unfortunately they seem to have a limited selection in terms of calibers and options.

Only you can decide if it's worth it. I personally love shooting single action revolver and lever guns. I'm a fanatic of manually operated everything so I didn't hesitate to spend $969 + tax + DROS for a side loading brass Henry rifle.

I will say this about the brass case octagonal barrel rifles; they may cost over $1000 with fees and tax, but they feel like a million bucks!

I have one of those brass/octagon barreled Henry's in .357, and, they do feel and shoot like a million bucks.
So does my Henry blued/walnut in .45 Colt. Both have the 20" barrel.
