Nice job Ethan. I've always liked the aesthetic of the old Henrys. I've been following you for years and would have guessed that you appreciated firearms. Nice to know for sure. Careful about loosening spring screws. I'd suggest some Loctite on them, but also recommend draw-filing the edges to eliminate stress points, and polishing the bearing surfaces. I like to bring them up to mirror, then knock them back with 1,000 grit to give oil something to cling to and avoid galling. Keep up the good work!
Outstanding job, Mr. Harty! I've been 'smiting for over 40 years, and I doubt I could've made a more beautiful rifle! I've always loved the brass frame of the Henry, and color case and bluing just makes it shine even more! Respects!
They did this in a lot of old movies when they wanted a henry rifle, John Wayne True grit has an 1866 modified in the scenes where the Henry rifle is fired
Thanks! Not my world but excellent lesson. I enjoy how your inner scholar decided to visit and brighten my day. If you make any money on this lecture you should talk to your CPA, this lesson may have turned your rifle into a tax deduction. To guarantee the tax deduction you could self-publish a longer monograph.
The original 1860 Transition Henry rifle had a loading gate that opened out not in...... It also came with a removable wood For end. Thought you just might wanna know.
..Well done Ethan. all you need is to forge a long range sliding sight...

Very Cool Rifle !
Great video, beautiful rifle!
Nice nice work great to hear all of the thoughts,
Might have to do this with a Henry 38/55 mostly for a bit more ass behind the bullet
Very cool just the way it is
Thanks, lovely rifle.
The long gun gives just a bit more velocity from the extra length. All in all it is very fine and well done work
Buttery smooth love it
