Henry Lever rifle

[rufrdr]

I bought a used round barrel Henry lever rifle at FGG recently. It looked little used. I've taken it to the range twice now to plink clay pigeons and it is just a lot of fun to shoot. It is accurate and functions perfectly. The fact that it has Zamak in its construction initially bothered me but what the heck, it works and looks good. Probably the most fun .22 I've had for awhile.

I have a round barrel too, when I picked it up wife absolutely lost her mind over it. Hell of a fun shooter. Put the wife and kids on it and their eyes will light up.

I really want to customize mine like @BigWaylon did on a pump gun to run a suppressor

I'm looking to get one of the small game models with the octagon barrel and the peep sites. I love lever guns it will be nice to have one that doesn't hurt my wallet every time I pull the trigger.

Kinda want a lever gun 'cause ... I want to have a lever gun. And the Henry is the likely choice.

Plus, the rollmark says "Bayonne New Jersey" and I want to have a rifle manufactured in what may be the nation's most anti-gun state.

The factory is on the water's edge of the Kill Van Kull, next to a nice neighborhood playground and just across from Staten Island, New York.

I have this with the big loop, added Skinner receiver sight and slicked up the action. Absolutely love it.

I picked up a Frontier with the octagon barrel a couple of weeks ago. Have had it out to the range a couple times now, it has fed and shot everything I’ve put through it so far, it’s as accurate as I can expect from a lever gun with a OG and cheap rimfire scope behind it.

Simple to break down and clean and a lot of fun to shoot, definitely no regrets.

What did you do to "slick up" the action. Like shooting my Henry but always interested in stuff more experienced folks do to their toys.

I would love to see that @BigWaylon

They both have different (smaller) cans on them now, but here’s the Rossi duo. Rio Bravo & Gallery. ETA: the Gallery also now has a small light attached for pest removal



Here’s what the newer cam looks like compared to the ones in the above pics:

Standard lever gun hammer/trigger engagement angle rework, polish where needed and add shims on cross pins from triggershims.com
