Re: NEW HENRY 45-70 WITH 22 INCH OCTAGON BARREL

No experience with the Henry .45-70, but the Henry .22 LR is a great gun. I assume they are like most manufacturers, and quality carries through all pruducts in the lineup.

I cannot find anything showing it affects, or is affected by the 2c19 enzyme which I lack. It has a small effect on the 3a4 which I also lack.
