      The only "bad" thing about them increasing in popularity is of course the price is going to go up even more. I am not sure what it is about a lever gun though, just like John was doing, I could shuck that lever back and forth all day long just to hear the sound, though I wouldn't because I hate needless wear on my firearms. I guess it is a lot like neurotically popping those plastic packing bubbles, you just can't pop just one.

    I bought one of these to shoot with my father (for whom black and white westerns are the only acceptable form of non-sports entertainment) a couple of years back. Might not be the single most practical gun I own, but it is one of my favorite range toys. The brass front sight is excellent, grip texture is great, the smooth lever action is like nothing else, and with trapdoor Springfield loads, you can cut down on the next day shoulder pain dramatically, removing the only real downside not named “ammo price.”Plan on picking up the .357 in the near future.

    Literally laughing out loud at this video! That was awesome. I already own a lever action (mandatory in Texas), but now I want a Henry 45-70! I hear you on the short effective range, but out here near Abilene in the middle of the cedar scrub country, there are very few sight distances that are over 100yds. If you see a deer or, more likely, a feral hog, it's going to pop out between 10 to 50 yards away (at least where I go hunting), so this rifle would be perfect for that!

      I agree my stock came loose just tightened the screw . When I got it the fore end was a little loose and said I’ll tighten it later ( a mistake) the fore end came off and I saw that one of the screw heads on the fore end band was broken. I contacted Henry and they sent me the pieces I thought I need free of charge and got them in less than a week, and it happened again, so thru some research I discovered that the very front band was messed up it just slid in to the dovetail and I saw that it should have to be drifted in with a brass punch so I contacted them again and less than a week got the part and I think that did it I fired 30 rounds yesterday without a problem and they were fairly hot loads 405 grain at 1750 fps. I’m honing to go over the gun and add so locktite.

Using a 350-grain bullet or a 300-grain bullet you can easily get up to 150 yards and it feels like you are shooting a 30/30 at most. Enjoy it "Cowboy"! Great, funny, and a hankerin' back to the Ole days.

  • @danpatton3891
    @danpatton3891 Год назад +1

    The 18" barrel will keep the velocity and usable distance of the 45-70 down. Cartridge manufacturers use 24" test barrels to list their velocity and energy specifications. The 6" difference in barrel length between the test and actual firearm barrels, may have a significant impact in what the round is capable of doing from its initial design.

    I have to say, I seriously appreciate the insight on the negatives. I always wondered about the reliability on these guns and why they weren't used in war in the 1900s, but it does make sense.
    That said, I would love to see you review a lever action that you did feel was reliable and durable enough to be used in rough conditions.

    Used a Winchester 30-30 growing up hunting in the woods of northern Minnesota. To this day is my go to rifle for hunting, yes I have a good selection of other choices to include a 308. With the right ammunition you can easily reach 200, and have taken deer at over 150 yards. Love it easy to use, only downside is putting the rifle on safe when it’s cold and wet out old rifle hammer can be slick.

  • @JDStone-jg8cg
    @JDStone-jg8cg 2 года назад

    I will say that i know a guy that built a speed loader for his .45LC lever action rifle. Only works if your gun has a side loader though. It's a length of PVC pipe sized to fit the bullets of your rifle with a cap on one end and the other end cut at a very steep angle. You drill a hole in the cap slightly smaller than your bullets but sized that a dowel rod will fit through. On the angled side cut a line into the pipe about a third of the way through and roll an O-ring onto the pipe until it fits into that slot. Fill the pipe with your bullets and the O-ring will hold them in. Place the angles portion of the pipe over your side loading gate, insert the dowel rod through the cap and push all the bullets into your magazine tube in less than a second.

They're just no fun to shoot. Especially in a light carbine. But the gun is ideal when busting threw the bush. Chasing hounds. If you want to hunt dangerous game I recommend 375HH. flatter trajectory, and hits the animal like a truck.
