Same receiver on all BB models?

Post by Mgr2 » Thu Feb 16, 2017 4:19 am

Hi all.

Just wonder if anyone knows if the .357, .44 and .45 Big Boys (steel and brass) share the same receivers and locking blocks? If so, that would mean the .357 is inherently stronger than the larger caliber models?

If you send an email to Anthony Imperato, he will be able to answer your question. ;)

I don't want to bother him. I'm sure he has more important things to do :).

give their customer service a call .... if the replacement parts all have the same number, your theory could be correct

Hmmm... this is an interesting question. OP, I would definitely call Henry and ask them.

I wouldn't worry on that score. He seems to be more than happy to answer any queries about his product lineup. He is without a doubt the most hands-on company president that I've ever come across. ;)

Surely some of you old hands know the answer?
