Not yet. I'll give that a shot.

I've been trying for a couple of days to remove the rear sight on a pre-64 Model 94, and it simply won't budge. I'm trying to drift it out from left-to-right, and I'm whackin it pretty good. How hard should these things be to remove?

BTW, the front sight came out REAL easy.

jsimmons

I'd just drift the existing sight out, and measure the with my dial calipers. If it's .375", then the #17 will fit. You'll want the shortest possible version , unless you've got a tang sight on the rear with enough adjustment to allow a higher front post. You want the new sight to be ¾" f...

I have a Model 94 with a front ramp site.

Will a Lyman #17 fit on the site ramp? If so, which one is the most appropriate? I'm thinking it would probably be the AHB (0.404") or the AMI (0.494").

. A very nice inheritance, indeed - the epitome of "pristine". BTW, if you want to remove the NRA sticker w/o any damage to the stock finish, "goo-gone" works really well. http://googone.com/Home http://googone.com/getmetafile/7b5f2398-8b2c-4490-9702-df8b4a6ee4ca/Goo-Gone-Pro-Po...

Look up ""Ace Case" - they have a really big selection. :wink: Good quality with reasonable prices. Thanks - it looks like M1 cases are my best bet. They're the only ones shorter than 40 inches, but longer than 32 inches. I haven't looked for a gun case in a long time. I'm kinda surp...

Does anything like this exist? I've been looking online for an appropriate case for my Model 94 for two days and haven't found anything. I really don't want a 40+ inch case because that's just a lot of material that's gonna be flopping around. Material isn't an issue - just want a case (preferably z...

I've kinda halfway decided to take the rifle to the range (with some fresh ammo, of course). If I do, I'm gonna put a Williams peep sight on it (only $36 from Midway) since it's already got the requisite holes drilled/tapped on the side of the receiver. This means I don't have to violate the rifle i...

Here are the pics.

. Please accept our condolences on your loss, jsimmons. I'd like to see some pics, also - as AFAIK, no pre-64 Winchester 94 was issued with a factory-installed rubber butt pad, unless it went through the Winchester Custom Shop. . I think I may have misspoke. It's a leather butt cover that laces at ...

My dad recently passed away, and I inherited his 1957 (228xxx) Model 94 chambered in 30-30. Some interesting observations: 0) This gun has never had a round chambered. 1) It came with the original store receipt (Sears), and was purchased for the hefty sum of $79.95 along with a cleaning kit ($2.49),...

I have a H001T with a Pedersoli tang sight and on a cheap rest, I can put 10 rounds into a 2-inch circle at 50 yards. Offhand , the grouping moves out to about 4 inches at the same distance.

I love my Henry - it's about 8,000 rounds old.

Henry H001T - just $350, the smoothest action you'll ever see, and they're easy to find NIB (unlike the Marlins). Here's mine...

The GoldenBoy is a really nice rifle. You should shoulder one before buying though, so you can see if the comb drop is too much for your shooting comfort. Henry's customer service is *amazing*. A guy at RimFireCentral.com bought a used Henry that had a bulge in the barrel, and he called them to see ...

jsimmons

9422 price - Just say "too much", and you've pretty much nailed it.

jsimmons

None of the posts seem to give any serious condemning issues with the Henry, but rather list things they personally just don't like about them. Yeah, I noticed that. The weight issue is actually worthy of consideration, and I found out today that you have to turn the gun upside down in order to loa...

The original poster has said he intends to use a Big Boy in Cowboy Action shooting.

i have posted somewhere at some time that i wanted a series of goldens. it was due to the fact that i wanted a brass reciever. something about the muted, dulled brass reciever sets off the older rifles. i have a friend that has an actual yellow boy. it is fine. my desire was to get the current &quo...

Oh yeah, the thing about going into the woods with the brass receiver...I got to comment on that: Now, don't get me wrong, I like my Henry .44 Mag lever rifle, and I take it to the range a lot. However, nothing's more ridiculous looking than the picture of the simulated hunter posing with his brass...

jsimmons

Is it just me, or do Jsimmons and fomocofan seem a bit oversensitive and cranky about the Henry rifles in this thread? Believe me, I'm far from cranky about it. I can understand that some people have misconceptions about some aspects of the Henry .22's, and I strive to correct these misconceptions....

jsimmons

I've never had one, but the opinion I've built from hearsay would put the Henry in the same category as a Taurus handgun. Alright, but if you can have a S&W why wouldn't you? Better hedge against inflation that gold. Nothing is as bad as the Taurus handgun, and like I said, I'm more interested ...

I think it has a lot to do with the brass frame, the plastic sights, the aluminum receiver, the weight, those four unsightly reciever screws, etc... As for me, I've got the H001T that I... 1. Cut the barrel down to 16". 2. Dovetailed the barrel for a post front sight. 3. Cut 1 1/2" off th...

1: They are too heavy. Too heavy for what? I'm going to be Cowboy Lever Action silhouette, not hunting. 2: The guts are basically a copy of Marlins design. That's the first time I've ever seen someone say that, but even if that's the case, doesn't that make the rifle functionally equal to the Marli...

My Golden Boy is one of my favorite guns. The only thing I changed was I added the optional bright brass band to it. I don't consider it to be a heavy gun for an adult - although it may be heavy for a youngster. I'm actually asking about the Big Boy. It is heavier than others in it's class (8.6 pou...

I'm curious to understand why there aren't more than a smattering of Henry pistol-cartridge lever gun references here. Is there something inherently wrong with the rifles? (I'm talking "I've seen-it-happen" facts here, not opinions based on hearsay or "us-versus-them" emotions.) ...

jsimmons

...Side note - I've heard the 9422's are nice (and if you get right down to brass tacks, I'd like to have one), but they're no longer in production, so that means you're gonna spend more than they're worth when you get one... Like a Pinned & Recessed Smith & Wesson, I don't believe you will...

I have a Henry H001T (.22LR) and I've never fired or handled a .22mag Henry, but I know people that have them, and from what they say, the action on a Henry rifle is equally smooth no matter what caliber you might happen to mention. If you're going to get a Henry rifle, the only thing you need to re...

I find it interesting that the blue version is about $60 cheaper than the 357 PC version. Also, the price is comparable to the Marlins, isn't it?

jsimmons

I found a place that lists the new Henry .30-30 *with* pricing. The name of the place is J&J Smokewagons, and they list the Blue version at $547, and the Brass version at $699. To be honest, that price is far lower than I thought we'd see this early in the gun's release. Here's the link. J&J...

What is the effective accurate range of a firle chambered for 357 mag? I'm considering getting a Big Boy 357 and need to consider how tall a tang sight would need to be.

Nascar hasn't been the same since Dale Earnhardt died. I think they were actually afraid to make too many changes while he was around, and now that he's gone, they've completely screwed up the series. On-the-fly rules changes, Toyota, points changes, and the "lucky dog" rule have completel...

Just love that Henry, I never thought to strip mine that way. That looks reall...

Is the cover aluminum? did you put a clear coat on it? Looks nice. That sight should get you out there a long ways before you run out of elevation. :D It's an alloy called "ZAMAC" (zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy). I haven't put a clear coat on it yet, buy I might. Brownells has something c...

Nice, what did you use to take the paint off? My big loop would look good like that. I used CitrusStrip (because it's biodegradable) and it took a long time, probably because of the way I did it.

I saw one of their 357's at the range this weekend. The action was just as silky smooth as my Henry .22 Frontier. You can pretty much bet the .30-30 is gonna be the same in terms of the action.

My advice is to configure your gun in a way that makes it more comfortable and accurate *for you*. If you want to scope it, by all means, do so. I have a scope on my bolt gun (CZ-452), but I use a tang/globe sight set on my Henry .22LR Frontier. I don't hunt, and my rifles are all configured for a s...

If I was gonna spend $800 on a .30-30, I'd get the Henry first. They don't have a tang safety, and the action will be as smooth as all their other lever guns.

Last week, I ordered RS-CREED-3-WE creedmore tang sight from Track of the Wolf to see if it would mount on my Henry H001T.

I was talking to a guy at the range last weekend who was proud to say he had a bench-rest gun with a 1-ounce trigger. I mentioned that sounded like an unsafe gun to me, and his response was, "I only use it here at the range". Sorry, but that doesn't change the inherent lack of safety where...
