True.. I see your point... although I see the need for less hand fitting as being more of a cost saving measure... In the end, if the necessary work is performed the end result is largely the same...
You're right, I used the word tolerance (because that's the word that was used in the post I was responding to) when describing both clearance and tolerance. I made an assumption about what the other poster was referring to and of course you're right the two words are not the same and should...
It's more expensive to make a lever action rifle than a cheap, budget bolt action. Just consider the shapes of the steel parts and the types of machining processes involved.
Plus, like you said, when both Winchester and Marlin were in business they were both just old, outdated, rifles. Once...
Marlins, going all the way back into the 19th century, were great guns compared to many of their contemporaries. Most people don't realize that back in the day Marlins were considered a "premium" rifle and were
often priced noticably higher than similar or comparable Winchesters that they...
Your $400 in 97 was "worth" a lot more that $400 today. Likewise, $1200 today is "worth" a lot less than it was worth in 97. In short, while today's Ruger does cost more than your old Marlin did its not that much more when consider how much less today's dollar is worth..
Tighter tolerances aren't always a good thing like many assume. Gun manufacturing tolerances are always a compromise. Tolerances that are to tight and a rifle won't reliably function or cycle smoothly. To loose and its sloppy, may not function, and may not be as accurate. The tolerances for old...
Denis, one thing that I regret saying and that I want to apologize for is implying any dishonesty or lack of integrity on your part regarding the reasons or motivations behind your strong support of Henry products. You were right I don't know you personally and have no factual knowledge or...
Volume is irrelevant. Again, the ethical issue is that Imperato consistently implies that his products are his original designs, or claims some lineage to the originals. Now that he has had so much success with this deception other gun companies have popped up that are also using similar...
I would add that the 30-30 and 45-70 Henry's are based on the Marlin 336
Ithaca.....
The so called "original " Henry, that HRA falsely tried for years to claim some direct company lineage to, that Imperato insisted at I believe a Shot Show that people refer to it as "The Original Henry" and...
Your response sounds like something the HRA's public relations department would write... Sounds like you and HRA are close... real close...
Still, you didn't really respond to what I said about all of the copies of other guns in the HRA product line.
Good question. I think it's a combination of advertising and being made in USA.
One thing that I noticed when I was selling guns, and this will probably get me flamed but it's just what I observed, was that the majority of the time the guys buying Henry's were usually either newer to the hobby...
If someone offered me $400 for mine they could have it. I dug mine out this morning and after looking it over the only thing I really like about it is it's small, handy size. The straight pull bolt action is stiff, the trigger is creepy, heavy, spongy and the combination safety/firingpin/bolt...
