Don't worry, once the rifle shows up I'll post photos and range reports!
This rifle is reported to be completely period correct with the exception of the caliber. Correct right down to the stamps and printing on the barrel. Cimarron works with Uberti to hide the required import marks and numbers I read. Same with their SA's. There are other importers of this rifle, Taylor's, Stoeger and I think Uberti has some other dealers as well. But from what I've researched, Cimarron tries to have theirs done with some "options" that make them period correct. I also read that Cimarron supplies many western movies as well, including the Tom Selleck westerns and Tombstone. It should be a pretty cool rifle. Some people don't like the reddish stain on the Uberti rifle stocks but if you look at photos of actual Henry rifles from the period, the wood is almost a dark cherry red on some. Now, the HRA wood is in a class all it's own as most of us know. But again, the money I'm NOT spending on the H011C will buy a scabbard and lots of ammo. Sometimes a cowboy just has to be practical. The brass receiver is highly polished and sealed with a clear coat I read, and some guys strip the clear coat off with acetone so the brass will age to a nice patina. We'll see what it looks like when I get it. Anyhow, looking forward to cracking open a new rifle box!
....ps, the hammer and lever are case hardened too which is a nice touch.
Check out the pics of the Cimarron versus the real thing from the 1800's, pretty darn close I think;
