Looking at mold designs for the rifle ,I am thinking this would be a good one.

Well, I guess I am gonna deal with the removable tube magazine. I ordered one this morning. No idea how soon...or late it will arrive. Looking forward to getting it and the NOE Keith mold.
1894 Cowboy Carbine Limited ordered new. All the S.N. I wanted were gone so I got #999 of 1000, Davidsons kept #1000.
1894FG bought new at local gun store for $425.
Used 1894FG I bought for a project, semi-inlet stock from Tree Bone Carving that I did final fit and finish.
1894S from second run with rubber buttpad..
I get good accuracy from all of them with jacketed bullets. Best cast bullet so far has been the Ranchdog TL411-255-RF.
There are some more photos with targets scattered about in the .41 Magnum Data center http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...al-data-center
I really like Skinner sights and peep sights in general, I also have Skinner sights on several other rifles.
But for the Henry, I think I am going with a scope.

Too bad it doesn't come with a pistol grip stock. I have companion rifles for most of my pistol calibers but for the cost of a 41 rifle I don't think it needs a companion that bad.
I want one! I had to let my Marlins go and miss them. The Henry is a reasonable alternative with traditional rifling and likely a better twist rate.
If they turn out to be quality guns I may have to part with my Ruger 44mag carbine to get one. I have been wanting a match to my 41 3 screw.
Gee, I wish I wouldn't have seen this thread.
I have the marlin 1894s
I guess if I stumble onto a Henry sitting lonely at thegun store, I suppose I'll let it follow me home, but I ain't gonna order one.

What do you guys think the average retail will be for these? $850.00 seems like a lot to me. Can't you find an old Marlin 1894FG for around that?
Hmm, my dad is going to want to see this thread. It would go nicely with his .41 blackhawk and redhawk. A friend of mine got a .44 big boy steel and it had some of the nicest checker ing I have seen on a production gun. Very well executed.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
My dealer tends to be a touch high and he gave me a price of $750ish IIRC. He ordersd mine during the trade show in texas this week. Will have to see what the actual price is when it actually comes in. No idea how quick they will be filling orders.
The loading tube that so many seem to worry about is a non-issue to me. All I care about is the gun being accurate, and functioning well. I already have plenty of Marlins.
My local guy sells the steel frame Henry for around $620.00, the Remlin 1894 for $575.00. I think the Henry is well worth the extra $45.00.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
So much for the wife getting that operation...

Ditto on that! I missed out on the Marlin .41 when they came out due to budget issues and my .41 Blackhawk has been feeling left out cause the .357 and .45 have big brothers.
I wonder how the Lee 240 grain SWC will fare in this rifle (though my mold was dropping them at closer to 250 from wheel weights)?

All data is flawed, some just less so.
...I do...EXCELLENT design. Functions very smoothly through the action. I have only only shot a few rounds out of the carbine but have shot quite a few out of a custom Gary Reeder 5.5" 5 shot. I'm using 22.0 grains of H110 and getting 1450 from the Reeder.
As to the Henry rifles...I have three of the Marlins, LTD, S and CCL (had a FG but just don't like pistol grip stocks on lever guns) so I don't plan on buying one soon. That would have not been the case if they had offered the loop lever 16.5" however... I handled a 20" .44 and a 16.5" .45 Colt last week and really liked the handling and balance of the shorter gun. I emailed the company last week and they said for now the .41 would only be available in 20"...
