Seems like a weird caliber to have absent from their lineup.
A pot metal Henry can't hold a candle to a Marlin 39.Yep. The .22LR model 39 isn't on the Marlin website anymore either.
It would seem that Henry has taken that market from Marlin.
As for the "pot metal Henry" not being able to hold a candle to a Marlin 39, how do you justify that statement?

I have noticed Marlin seems to be making 1895s again in 45/70, the one's I've seen look good to go.
Maybe their lawyers are worried about tube fed pistol caliber carbines.
Are not Marlins tubular mags? A lot of people seem to be wining about how the Henrys load. For us that are older if you can remember some 22s of the past that had a tube feed. Nylon 66 for one, and there are others. Never heard any one winning about loading those shooters. Please do not knock it untill you try it.

They come in waves. It seems they make a run and everyone has them, then they disappear for a while.Hell, does Rossi even make 357 lever actions anymore? Haven't seen one on Bud's for months.

Side note, I looked at Henry, I am sure they are fine rifles but I don't want a tubular magazine, I much prefer side loading.
They are side gate loading (though I guess technically into a tubular magazine). I have a Marlin Model 60 tube feed, love the gun, hate the reload procedure. If it works for you great, I like more efficient designs.
