1860 Henry

This is just a ladder. V notch when it's folded down, and a little ladder that slides up when it's raised. Marked to 800 yds (????!!!!) looks like. At 800 yds the enemy will catch it and throw it back I think. I'll try it at 100 yds and see how it goes. My range only goes to 250 yds and that's a stretch for these old eyes.

You really got it shined up and looking very nice. Now, try to keep it from getting even a itty bitty scratch

Are you going to display it?

That's the shiny-est it will ever be! It will be a shooter.

Nice pictures RR I like the old west type settings. I have a good freind and myself that say we were born 100 years to late. Nothin like the old west single actions and leverguns. Puts a smile on my face everytime I think about it. Al

Thanks. Not sure I'm tough enough to have lived back in the 1800's...

I missed this momentous occasion somehow. Congratulations on your beautiful Henry. I can't wait to see your shooting results.

In the 1990's, I was fond of saying "Yeah, I'm a 90's guy, 1890's that is."

Just placed my order for this stock cover from Ricochet Roy's for my 1860 Henry. With six 45C cartridge loops on it as well. Should keep it protected from the rigors of cowboy life.

RR,

You have a beautiful new rifle! Congrats!

Enjoy shooting it and enjoy shooting your other sweet guns too!

You take great pictures as so many people do on this forum.

I like the leather work too.

Thank you for sharing.

Cate
