Henry Rifle Forums

I finally sprung my new .41 from debtor's prison. It took me a couple months to pull it out of layaway. I don't usually use the payment method, but I didn't want to chance it would be gone when I found the spare cash. You just don't see .41 anything all that often, and I've been looking for a .41 lever a lot of years.

Fit and finish are exceptional. The action is amazingly smooth; I wonder what it will be like in a few hundred rounds.

It feeds 215g SWC (Starline cases, 6.5 gr Trail Boss Powder, Winchester Primer, .410 Meister Bullet) like it was made for them. My quest for a source of LRNFP was totally unwarranted; slow, fast ... it doesn't matter; they feed and eject flawlessly.

I pulled a bore snake through it and commenced to shooting. The first ten rounds hit a tin can at 50 yards without missing.

50 round later, there was no visible lead in the barrel.

I thought I'd miss the loading gate, but I actually found it refreshingly easy to load.

Very Nice Rifle

Beautiful Rifle, BBSM41, and a great photo to capture the moment.

Also, good shooting BTW

Congratulations, nice looking rifle and pretty photo.

Hats off to you on finally getting your Henry .41 Magnum!

And it's great you're already enjoying that "Very Nice Rifle." Thanks for posting the cool picture.

Congrats and cool picture!

congratulations indeed .... looking forward to future range and use reports

Glad you got that beauty out of lock up and set it free. Nice photo as well.

Congrats on getting her out of Incarceration.
Got one myself, enjoy.
Oh yea nice pic.

Congrats. I have not tried lead in mine yet. I have not slugged my barrel yet so wonder what size bullet you are using. I really do not like slugging a barrel as I am always afraid of getting it stuck.
I have .411 swc bb at 215 gr and .410 swc gc at 230 gr on hand for my revolvers.

It's not are revolver so slug is not as important as the chamber will take .410 or larger bullet in brass . It's a ramp feed gun and sometime a roll crimp would allow to feed easy with heavy crimp without a lot of hicups and a taper crimp could works better and smoother most of the time . I love the 41 mag and good luck with it .

Congratulations and enjoy your new rifle. Thanks for the cool photo.

Beautiful rifle and great picture!

Congratulations!

Great looking rifle in a great looking photograph. Thanks for sharing it.

I didn't slug. But it seems very happy with the Meister 215 gr .410 SWC

glad you found something it likes.
About 50 rds through mine all lead, two different bullets. Hoping to get some range time in but been hoooot.
