Wuh' howdy ya'll
I've been really wanting to fullfill a personal firearm dream of mine by purchasing an Uberti 1860 Henry rifle. I'm looking into the 24" bbl brass frame guy in .45 Colt. Any of you fellers ever dealt with a Henry rifle? I've heard good things about the Uberti reproduction. I'm not in CAS or any other shooting sport. I simply want this rifle because I've always been so attracted to it's appearance and design, which is 153 years old. Being one of the first mass-produced repeating rifles unto itself is very historic, not to mention it's service in the American Civil War and it's use in the old west and frontier days. Personally, few other firearms stir up the imagination for me like this one does, and like I said owning one is just a personal "dream gun" fantasy I would really like to fulfill. But of course, like any gun, I want one that's going to work and perform well just like the original did.
Just looking to get a little input on this. Do you have any stories about your time with the Henry rifle? Thanks!
