Title: Henry lever guns
Post by: magnanimous_j on July 15, 2009, 12:01:42 PM: I ran across a deal to pick up a little .22 lever gun for cheap. Anyone have experience with the Henry .22lr guns?

Thats good to know, I just may pick it up. It's a handsome gun, which is also modestly priced; a combo that usually makes me suspicious :chuckle:

I admit the odds of me buying it are low. I would have to land a pretty sweet job in the next couple weeks before I would do it.

More than anything, I've been admiring this piece for a while and wanted to know what you guys thought about it.

If you can in any way swing it, buy the gun. If the price is right you can sell it down the road or use it for trading material.. If the price is right, don't let it get away.
