Henry is threading a lever gun

Post by jdad »

At least they're trying to expand their product line. I don't know how well balanced a can would be on a 24" verses 20" barrel, but the short mag probably compensates for it.

I'd love a 16" in 357 Mag that was threaded.....

Man! I would certainly enjoy shooting suppressed... wait... I already do. I live and shoot here in California.

What I mean! is... I would love to shoot using a suppressor, but it is verboten in the fine state in which I reside.

But, yea; why thread a 24" rather than a 20"? if you have a choice... I have the Henry H001M with a 19-1/4" barrel. It'd be the perfect backyard 'yote medicine with a can on it. Alas...

I've seen many threaded rimfires over here as cans are legal and very common but tube mags on rim fires and Henry centerfire rifles usually mean removing the can to reload.
That's why I bought my threaded Magtec semi auto, I would not consider threading my Winchester 9422.
A can on that 24" barrel would feel and look rubbish but I guess it could be reloaded in situ.

I don't understand the attraction of a 24 inch barrel on a .22 rimfire. I believe there is a velocity loss after something like 16 or 17 inches. I guess it's the looks out-performing the bullet? maybe someone can 'splain it to me. type slowly and distinctly . . . :lol:

You ought to try a 24" barrel with the CCI CB and Quiet ammo, sounds like an air rifle and they're still effective on game. HTH

The biggest thing is you don't gain any more velocity after 16-18" in rimfires and shotguns.

The 24" barrel gives a rifle a longer sight picture, for those of us that compete using receiver/tang sights.....and a lot of people just don't like the aesthetics of 20" carbines.

I think that's the reason behind the short, 10 round, mag.

Henry isn't merely "trying" to expand, they're aggressively expanding with new models & new versions of existing models.
Take a look at their new catalog.

I've been looking at that site for the last couple of days. There are a couple I think I've going to need. The new .410 carbine, one or two of the single shots and really need a new .45 Colt carbine. I think this going to be a fun year! :D

I'm wondering if other makers were working on new designs but we're holding out because of the election?
If( God forbid) the other side won they could have just not announced new lines...
Just a thought.

Yes, obviously they had to shorten the mag and lengthen the barrel to accommodate the reloading with a suppressor in place, a lot of tube mag rifles over here have the mag shortened just to accommodate the the fitting of a suppressor.
Non tube mag rifles are often cut shorter to keep the gun more balanced.

You are correct. I did it for a laugh, but I see you are displeased enough to use the "rolleyes" emoticon.

I went to the range with my Marlin M39 once. While I was there I loaded it with some standard velocity .22 shorts. As I emptied the magazine my best friend who was the RO walked up behind me. He asked me "are you going to stand there and dry fire all day or did you come out here to shoot?" I looked at him and said check the spotting scope Mr. Smarty pants. It was only then he realized I was shooting and he was right behind me. Standard velocity ammo + 24" barrel = quiet.

The 24" octagon 22s will be very popular with the leveraction silhouette folks. Henry recently announced a 327 rem mag in a steel Big Boy round. I just ordered two. But, I wish they would do a 24" oct. I think that would be the ticket for the pistol cal lever silhouette.

Some rifles shoot well off the bench.

Others shoot particularly well in the field.

I like the 24" barrel.

I've a CZ rimfire that does both.

The 22 Mag would be nice.

As to silencers, no go down here, you could end up in gaol.

Yeah you almost don't need a can with subsonic 22 LR out of a long barrel.

I shoot my Martini and Winchester 75 in the back yard all the time and no one hears a thing. The bullet impact makes more noise on my little stack of 1x8 target blocks. My nail gun makes more noise.

.327 would be great, but I don't think it's approved for NRA sanctioned matches yet.

To the contrary, I'd love to have that Marlin, pm for my shipping info. :)

I appreciate the comments that they are quieter to shoot than shorter barrels. Is that because the load is subsonic by the time it escapes the end of the barrel?

JUST KIDDING YOU GUYS

I like the look of some of the longer firearms. I get the facts about the longer sighting radius. And sometimes going down a steep grade the longer gun is a better . . .

The only long barrel firearm I have is an H&R 45/70 with a 32" barrel. Now that barrel doesn't make for a quiet discharge, but it does slow down my standard 525gr load. I like shooting it a lot, but I don't shoot it a lot.

My original comment just reflects how I value velocity in the pee shooters. Same thing that produced the 556 and the other whiz-bangs. Utility is almost always very high on my checklist.

I do appreciate that we all have our likes and preferences. Makes the campfire interesting.

I think a trapper length guide gun tossing 470gr hardcast in the bear woods and 300gr cast plinker loads would be a great combo gun for me. Others would hate to give up the extra several hundred yards the 06 and relatives provide.

Fun stuff, glad we have the variety to choose from.

Buddy of mine has a Contender 44 barrel that he sticks a can on, you can shoot it with out hearing protection.

My 77/22 and CB's you can hear the firing pin hit the case head. Tree rats beware!
