I have a Big Boy in .45LC to go with my SA Army. That way I don’t have to carry separate ammunition for my pistol and rifle.

Why does anyone “NEED” a 16 shot rifle!

“That Old Fogey” Ripley felt the muzzle loader was good enough for a Civil War soldier! No need of breach loaders at all!

Wanted an Ithaca lever action .22 as a kid and never got. My wife bought me the Henry Yellow Boy .22 for Christmas a few years back. I love it.

Benjamin Tyler Henry was a scumbag who tried to steal the company he worked for from its rightful owner, Oliver Winchester, but didn’t manage to pull it off before Winchester discovered the plot and kicked Henry the curb. He should have been relegated to the dung-heap of history and I would be hard pressed to name any respectable commercial enterprise after him.

On top of which if American Shooting Urinal is shilling for Henry Rifles you can bet they’re being paid for it, which means someone is conducting a commercial enterprise on Freepr and trying to pass it off as just another citizen posting online.

“...Almost all Henry lever-action models follow the same design...” [original article, paragraph 5]

Not true at all.

The rimfire model is based on Ithaca’s 72.

Most of the centerfire models are based on the Marlin pattern finalized in the late 1880s and subsequently used in the M1893, M1894, M1895, M30, M36, and M336 rifles. Sufficiently well-thought-out that no major changes have ever been made. Stronger, more durable, easier to repair than Winchesters.

The most recent offerings are based in part on Browning’s BLR, a design noted for strength and accuracy. Capable of handling magnum cartridges, it also feeds from a box magazine, thus it can use pointed bullets.
