22LR Tube Fed Lever Action

[C.R.]

I have the H0001 and it is a good little .22 They are light weight and handy .Filling the magazine can take a bit of time,but with some 1/4 inch tubing a speed loader can easly be made I think that the action is slick and I have no problems with mine

Marlin & Henry fan here

I've got an 1949 Marlin that's very smooth ... It's a rescue I found at a garage sale probably 25 years ago ... rebarreled & refinished ... It'll be a hand-me-down to my first grandson.

I've also had a couple Henry's ... First was an H001, I liked it but wanted something nicer ... So I got a fully engraved Golden Boy but it turned out to be too nice and I didn't shoot it ... a guy at work wanted it so I sold it to him and bought an "Evil Roy", kind of like Their Silver Eagle but with a 16" octagon barrel and large loop lever ... Now I have another grandson on the way and hopefully the Evil Roy will be another hand-me-down.

I try to stay out of ya-yahs but......

Back in the mid 1980's when the folks that own Henry basically owned Iver and Johnson and I was writing for a gun rag I was rather upset with the term "pot metal".

For those words specifically meant the iron at the bottom of a melt that was too spoungy to be used for anything other than the casting of pots.

IJ sent me a news release on their little RX22 or whatever it was called at the time the little Walther PPk-ish .22 auto they were selling where they refered to it as having potmetal parts. I called them and had a rousing discussion where in they INSISTED that I do refer to the zinc cast parts of their guns as "pot metal"

Honestly I think it only matters to folks that would argue on the inter-net just to burn up band width.........

My experience with the modern Henry .22 lever guns is limited to a few days and a few hundred rounds fired and observed. I like them and think them well worth the money. As it happened it was the first of the "Blued Reciever (cover)" models I had seen and I at a distance honestly mistook it for a Browning. It functioned smoothly, seemed accurate enough for a non match gun, and a scope mounted on it maintained zero through some rough handling.

Whatever they are made of they are nice little rifles.

Looks good, feels good, I like it.

As soon as the HiViz sight shows up I will install, take the 4 screws out of that lousy cover, smear a little oil on the bolt, and head for the range!
