    This rifle does have a safety. There's a transfer bar built in to the hammer. Best safety ever made for a lever gun. No dumb buttons or levers to clutter up the design. I even prefer it to the half cock type. Beautiful gun!

    She is a beauty! I have been trying to get my hands on one of those color case hardened with octagonal barrel ever since the side gates were introduced. Finally got the carbine in 44 mag with the regular blued barrel and I love it. I don't feel like I settled. It's indeed a beautiful rifle even without the color case hardened receiver and octagon barrel. This old city boy finally got his cowboy rifle.

    • @Hothenrik
      @Hothenrik 2 года назад +2

      @@optician53 I would go with the Long Ranger (H014-223 or H014S-223). Why waste your time on the single shot when you can get the Ranger with that 5-round box magazine? They are SHARP!!! I have the 223, 243, 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor (all with the sights). However, they are geared a bit different from the Big Boys; the bolt on the Long Ranger is like stainless steel and a bit heavier, plus the hammer seems tighter, so when I shoot mine (especially that .308), I like to cock the hammer back before working the lever. I had an incident while sitting at the bench where I went to eject a cartridge and the butt stock hit the table and left a dent in the stock. HENRY took care of it for me, though, and I will swear by their Lifetime Guarantee!!! They are #1 in Customer Service and Quality, and if you are in any way not satisfied with your HENRY, THEY WILL MAKE IT RIGHT!!! So in the end, you just CAN'T GO WRONG WITH HENRY!!!!!😃👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    About the recoil pad you need it if you handload, the .45 colt is capable of much higher pressures than the weak cowboy crap most ppl feed it. Most
    factory rounds are weak as well. I have a pet load it's a 255 grain round nose flat point hard cast lead powder coated that is 1,500 fps. That's a hard hitting round our past 200 yards. Nice video I love my Herery carbine also.

    One thing I learned in a shotgun course I took: Manual action over automatic action does not mean greater reliability. More people f^*&cked up their pump action guns with short strokes and whatnots than they had failure of the semi auto guns. I still think there is a special splace for manual action firearms. Reliability does not equal durability. And manual actions have stood the test of time, where automatic actions still need to prove themselves. Waiting for the 100 year old AR that works flawlessly sitting next to my WInny that I know does ...

    You may have seen this elsewhere, I plan on inserting this when ever I see some one talking about Henry. I want to state that I can not believe any company out there, will come even close to the customer service that Henry has. On 1/30/23 they completely wowed me on a gun (.44 BB) that I have had for 13 years, lets just say that there was a little something wrong with it, I had sent it in 2 or 3 times to have it repaired, they did for free each time.
    I Happened to buy one of their 45-70 last week and discovered that they made a improvement on it, that would have resolved the issue on mine. I emailed them asking them if they could retrofit mine with the improvement, and they replied back same day, they are going to, after they receive mine, send me a brand new one (received 2/24).
    It makes me very happy that in the last 3 weeks I have bought the 45-70, a .410 and my H004 (.22 GB) should arrive tomorrow. I plan on buying one of their .308, as soon as I can find one.(2/2/23 found one received it on 2/9), but since I am trying to fill up one of their very NICE 8 gun cases, which I have not bought yet, perhaps a H011C, 45LC is in my future.
