I have a friend who has a reproduction Henry rifle. A couple of years ago, he was at a Cowboy Action Match and one of the vendors was selling a "clip on"
forearm for the Henry which allowed the follower spring lever?? for lack of a better term, to slide down the barrel without hitting the shooter's hand.

As is common, he wanted to look over the rest of the vendor's goodies and then he was going to buy the thing. When he returned it was gone and he has never been able to find who made it or anything more about it.

Does anyone here know of such a thing and where one might find one?

TIA

Hey Iggy,

I have never heard of the thing, but it sounds like a good idea. I can see how they made it in my mind. It would only take a nice piece of wood and some work at the band saw and then a couple of passes through the router to cut the various holes so it could slide down the barrel or if you cut it in half you could then screw it back together.

Neat concept.

I have an Iron Framed Henry on my "procure list" next time I get a chance. Maybe this week depending on how things go. They are not cheap but it has sentimental value. I met an old Rancher up in NW CO. that had an original and we struck off a fine friendship till he died. By the time I got wind of the death, his guns were long gone and so was the ranch. Dang kids sold the ranch off faster then ice melts in Wyoming in the summer. They were city kids and could not stand the idea of the ranch that the great grandfather had settled and homesteaded.

Some things should be criminal...
