I'm in the old fart group too, and i've never said the Henry levers are a better rifle than the Marlin levers. It's just there a lot of folks here who do not own a Henry, and call the Henry's pot metal junk and it just isn't true.
I've yet to see anyone, on line or otherwise that's worn out a Henry lever 22. 99.99% of the Henrys will out live their first and second owners....and probably more than that.
The truth is, i like the Henry lever better than a 39 and that's why i own three of them, but that doesn't mean i hate 39's,
They do the job they were intended to do VERY well, they look very good, are accurate,
are very smooth and last plenty long enough to be a very good buy in todays market.
