Sixteen .44 Russians in a Henry

[bigskybound]

New to this forum. Another thread got me thinking I should post my video. I had a .44-40 Henry chamber sleeved to .44 Special. Then the face of the carrier was ground so it would feed .44 Russian, Colt and Special. Having trouble with video. Back later.

The .44 Russian is pretty close to the original 44 Henry in length.
Always thought the modern Henry would be nice in a 44Spec.

They make the 1866 in .44Spl, wonder why they don't still offer the 1860 in the chambering. I'd love to have one for double-duty with my .44Colt 1860 and 1872 sixguns.

My 66 is in .44 Special, as are my Open Tops. I bought the special carrier made to handle .45 Cowboy Special for my 66 and it feeds the short Russians very well.I use alot less black powder this way and recoil is minimal.
