'Merc, that's just downright purdy!
WOW!Just picked up this Navy Arms 1860 Henry in 44-40.
I think you're right Latigo. I've been searching for one that appeals to me.@1955mercury ..."Just picked up this Navy Arms 1860 Henry in 44-40".... Always liked a good lever action and the old Henry's in brass look great! Now you need a 44-40 in a pistol just like they used to do it.......only need one kind of ammo for both when you're out on the trail..........

Good day at the range with my great-nephew! We shot everything from 22s to a 44 Special. The kid is just a good ol' farm boy that you like to be around. He loved shooting my Shield in 40 and the 1911s. Unfortunately we did crack the right grip on my 1903 Colt, it was an original and uncracked [rats].
No "M1 thumb yet?" you're either very adept, very lucky, or new on the job!We got ours from a friend for $600, he built it out of parts he had sitting around.
The recoil isn't bad, less than the Mauser, Nagant and Arisaka but still has more than Saving Private Ryan and hollywood would have you believe. It's managable and one can easily fire aimed shots in very rapid succession. I love it. No M-1 thumb yet either.
