Henry Rifle Forums

New rifle....very nice indeed. Just got home not too long ago and wiped it down with rem oil cloth. Picked up 4 bottles of Ballistol as well, and a real nice hand made in Alberta buffalo hide possibles bag my wife wants to give me for Christmas. The rifle is very well balanced with that long barrel. Shoulders real nice. Sights are interesting. Bought a fiberglass ramrod as well that fits the rifle for range days. Set trigger is cool, the pull is feather light once set. Wood is actually quite nice too. Case colored parts look real good.

More....39" barrel

Beautiful rifle, RR. I can't wait for your first and continuing range reports!!!

beautiful indeed .... will you be shooting round balls or conicals ..

Round lead. Old school.

Round lead. Old school.

we all fired 50 ca round balls when our family was active in a black powder club .... our kids enjoyed trick shooting like splitting a round ball on bptan axe edge and busting a skeet placed on each side .... both boys took deer with their rifles and I managed to put some in the cooler as well

That's a nice one RR and can't wait to see more 200 yd targets with 1/2 inch holes!

Ready for a flintlock yet

Deja vu, all over again! I had one back when I was doing muzzleloading. Bought it used. Came with a percussion and the extra flintlock. Not sure if that's the way it was packaged from the factory or if the flintlock was added later. Only shot it setup with the percussion.

Anyway, it looked to be unfired. Excellent rifle and very accurate. No problem shooting an inch at 50 yards with a patched round ball. Have no doubt yours will do the same.

I could put a flintlock on this one?
