As soon as a .357mag carbine is out I'm going to have to have one.

Nice. I wonder if they will ever do a side loader in 22lr with a threaded 16" barrel.
That's awesome. I sold my Marlin 336 (on this forum!) about 4 years ago because I didn't have anything else in .30-30 and didn't see the need to keep another caliber since I only hunt with .30-06.
But I do miss having a lever-action rifle. There's something very "American" about lever guns and revolvers. Even though I have a few semi-autos, I've always held the belief that "a semi auto is a machine, but a fine revolver is a work of art"
So having a revolver and a lever gun that share the same ammo would be cool.
I have two Henry All Weather lever guns, .44 and .357. Love the .44 with both magnum and special ammo. The .357 is still unfired in the box, one of my sons also has the .357 version and is thrilled with it. I think Henry makes phenomenal rifles and this new side loader sure looks like a winner.
I have 4 or 5 Henry rifles and love them all. Call me crazy but I prefer the tube load over the more traditional side gate.
The little short-barreled .22Mag with peep sights and large loop is my favorite.
Hard to top off that tube during a gunfight, pardner.Quote:

Yep. The cowboy action guys will scarf these up.Quote:

I wonder if this is something that could be retrofit to existing tube-load-only Henrys. If you could send your old Henry in and have them upgraded for a reasonable price it might be worth it.
Aren't there currently some Italian-made lever guns that are used for SASS shooting? Uberti or something?
Yes. And Brazilian Rossi's too, I would imagine.
Yes Uberti makes replicas of old Winchesters. The downsides of the Ubertis is that their QC is hit and miss ... and they're expensive. Like $1200 for a replica of a Winchester '73 (and $1400-1600 for one that's been gone through by someone like Cody Conagher). There's also Rossi rifles that are basically the Taurus of the lever action world (IIRC they're owned by Taurus).Quote:

Oooh, yeah. Love Henry's quality. I want to get a 357 now and thread the muzzle [mlp]
I was given a Rossi 12-ga., thought I hit the jackpot. The fit/finish was great, but it needed a little work. So I started working on it.
What it needed was scrapped. The materials were cheap, poorly designed, and not worth the time to fix.
The one thing it really needs is the big loop.

I may have to pick one up now they have the loading gates. I have always liked the Henrys and their build quality
As soon as they come out with this in .357mag and a King's gate I'll be ordering one. (although to be fair I also like the brass carbine so who knows for sure).Quote:

And thread the barrel too.
Ooh, one of their mare's legs with a threaded barrel +$400 + new stock + can.Quote:

I've been trying to find a Winchester M94 in .44 mag forever but never have the cash when that "one" comes up for sale. I will wait for the Henry and see what they are like.
Imagine the wait to get a 357. They could double their manufacturing staff, run 24x7, and probably still a year wait.
Guide gun or short Carbine length for sure.Quote:

I actually have one Rossi...an M92 in .357/.38. It's been a good gun. Can't say I know how it would hold up to heavier use. It's just one I shoot for fun and that's been rare. No problems with it yet. The action is quite smooth.

Is it kinda like this?Quote:

It's a SRC just like the Win 94.
Not a side loader but a very very nice .357, soon to be going to a new home I believe.
