[Ramjet-SS]

Saw a Instagram post Henry unveiling there new H024 Cowboy Carbine in 30-30 , 35 Remington and 38-55. These guys sure know how to separate me from my money.

38-55 here I come.

[Maine1]

[KMac]

I see a Henry 38-55 in my future.

Hopefully they make a steel version
of this and don’t only offer it in brass.

[Ozark mike]

I bought my mother a 44 mag a while back for a present didn't realize they were that heavy but it does come in at 9lbs still her all time favorite rifle. not had a hiccup with it yet

[Ramjet-SS]

Ha ha was wondering how long it would take for everyone to notice the loading gate.....

And ugly.

Nice! Loading gate is a selling point for me. As is the 38/55. Pretty dang sweet.

[Ozark mike]

Well I guess your entitled to your opinion. What i think and what others think are going to be different I can't stand these ar15s and the like but the Henry's appeals to me. your mileage may vary

[Nathanj]

Well here goes my marriage! At least she won’t get my new 35 Rem Henry! Lol

[1Hawkeye]

Not bad but for that kind of money I'd send a 336 out to JES have it rebored to 38-55 and be ahead by several hundred bucks.

[John Boy]

I've asked Henry many times - a 32-20. Reply: Not that big a market but in my mind, a perfect calibr fo Cowboy Action and NRA Lever Action Pistol Caliber matches

[dverna]

I could not find the price or the weight...computer challenged.

7.5 lbs. and MSRP: $925.00 according to this review:

.38-55? I'm down!!

[Texas by God]

Soaks up the recoil really nice.True, but recoil is temporary and gravity is constant. On Horseback or at the shooting range it wouldn't be a problem at all. Carrying it around hunting would Tire me out I'm afraid LOL.

KMac,
Thanks for posting the information.

7.5 lbs does not seem too heavy ( 1/2 lb more than a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem). The price is a bit high for a gun that will be toted in the woods and get scratched up. Looks about $250-300 more than a Marlin but I suspect it is finished better.

BTW, I was just curious as I always lusted for a .38/55 I could shoot (as I have two "collector guns"), but I have no real use for one. For hunting the .308 serves me well and for fun shooting the .38/.357 lever actions fill that role with cheap brass.

Good to see Henry offering these guns and especially in the .38/55. Many here will enjoy it as it is a good cast caliber,

[Ramjet-SS]

It’s not a issue for me I am going to be 62 years young and stay in excellent shape and with shoulder sling it’s not big deal for me. My training and work outs allow me to handle more than most young kids these days. ��

Everyone has their opinion I think they are nice looking guns me 100% American made or not made at all.......

[northmn]

As mentioned, at the price you can still get a Marlin fixer upper and send it off to JES and save some $$. Thing about Henry I appreciate is that they do seem to respond to customer desires. I would guess that they have very modern machining production which permits the versatility. My wish is that they would offer the 24 inch barrels. I have a Marlin CB in 38-55 and an old waffle top in 35R that have those barrel lengths and like them. The 327 mag would be similar to the 32-20 with handloading. I have a Marlin 94 in 32-20 and don't hotrod it but I could use the 327 the same way.

DEP

[1Hawkeye]

I chuckle when they say "made in america or not made at all" considering that the .22lr that is there claim to fame that the company has been built around is a rifle designed and manufactured by the West German firm of Erma in the late 60's,70's, & 80's and there 1860 henry is uberti parts assembled here by them. I will give them credit for there nice choice of walnut but they haven't come up with anything that tickles my fancy yet.

[Ozark mike]

I like the action a whole lot better than the Marlin they use a transfer bar so you don't have to click the safety off before you fire and a spring loaded bolt block so it can't jam which my Marlin will in the right circumstances

Or I can order the gun buy it and start shooting it the day I pick it up......:p

[Ruts]

I see they kept the removable mag tube when they added the loading gate that is cool. Now why do all the Henry triggers slant forward the wrong way what’s up with that

[northmn]

Every one here seems to be excited about the 38-55. I have both the 35 and the 38-55 and for practical use, using both cast and J bullets the 38-55 would go down the road first if I had to choose. 35R is a great boolit rifle also and one has a much better choice of bullets for light loads. Even deer loads. One has to use a 35R to appreciate it. 38-55 will not kill deer any quicker or better, trust me. The 35 is pretty effective.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FboK4wA1y7A&t=931s This guy does a good job with reviews. I just bought a 38-55 and it should be here this wednesday. I have a Marlin 336 Cowboy in 38-55 my wife bought me for my birthday over 10 years ago. It was 550.00 back then. I paid 859.00 plus 25.00 for shipping for the Henry. I also have a pair of Winchesters in the same caliber. I cant wait to get it and shoot it.

[owejia]

Had an email from RK Guns this morning, the new Henry with sn starting as low as 800.

[pahermit]

Anyone heard what the bore dia, for the 38-55 will be?

[curioushooter]

Give me a 375 Winchester in STEEL.

[kenton]

One step closer to a AR golden boy!

[1Papalote]

Boring barrel length.
Anything but 20".

Oh man, a side loading gate... I might be down to clown with that.

Id sure like to see the proof you have that Henry Repeating Arms 1860 Original is made by Uberti.

[1Hawkeye]

When I worked in the firearms industry Henry was just starting to sell .22's and the company I was with was working with Colt our Colt rep told me about the how Henry's owner got there start up funding. It was buy assembling all those second generation black powder series colt revolvers. Which were Uberti parts finished by Colt and assembled by Henry (Tony Imperito) One thing I learned about the industry is why waste your money on tooling and setting up heavy equipment when you can farm it out. When the Henry co started making "original" Henry's
it wasn't too hard to figure out. Henry plus Uberti equals "original" Henry. Yes the fit and finish is higher quality but its still coming from the same foundry.

[BigAl52]

Sorry. I see no proof in your response and there are you tube videos comparing the 2 with differences. Dan at Henry says there made here.

[1Hawkeye]

Yes big al the are made here from uberti parts and may I suggest if your going to be an internet TROLL you try ar-15.com or the smith & wesson forum they like your kind over there. I know what I was told BY A COLT EMPLOYEE who handled the 2nd gen bp account.

[BigAl52]

Sorry not a troll but if you wish to call me that so be it. You still have not provided anyone with any proof that the new Henry Original 1860 is made by Uberti. If this is the case why would they not farm out all of the other models they make. Easy to call people names when you have a keyboard in front of you. Have a nice day

[Skipper]

Hawkeye, it sounds like your Colt contact is full of it. From today's email

"Hi XXXX,
Thank you for contacting Henry. Sir people will talk but we make all the rifles and parts here. Rest assured they are made by the employees at the factory in Bayonne, NJ.

Nope you are wrong here second hand info is not reliable.

[jimmyhat1978]

This was the reply I got directly from Henry: We strongly recommend shooting factory loaded ammunition only to maintain the Henry Warranty.

That said, the bore diameter is .366 with a .376 groove diameter.

[Ramjet-SS]

All Mfg say to use factory ammo. That’s the lawyers answer CYA.
