Bottom Dealin Mike, SASS #22273 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Here is the full length video on the Henry Rifle. I apologize, because I know it is really long, but, on the plus side, there is lots of shooting in it. https://www.full30.com/video/f501c364eba365bea61b5f01b86f1f16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostVaquero Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Interesting and good review. Just wondering how the Henry Repeating Arms version stacks up against the Uberti one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Dodge Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Interesting and good review. Just wondering how the Henry Repeating Arms version stacks up against the Uberti one? About 1 for every 2 ubertis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Whiskers Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Ok...I have a real dumb question. I shoot smokeless powder. The barrel gets warm, but not hot on my 73's. Is BP a lot hotter powder than smokeless? Why I'm asking is if he were shooting it with smokeless would he need gloves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yes its alot hotter :-) No you would not need gloves with smokless powder:-) I must politely disagree. How hot the barrel gets with smokeless powder depends on the number of rounds you fire, plus you tolerance to pain! Because there is no wood forstock, and because the magazine tube is an integral part of the barrel and bronze/brass/whatever copper alloy to boot, it will transfer the heat faster than steel. Just sitting in the sun in hot weather can make the barrel/magazine too hot to hold! I usually wear a pair of skin-tight leather gloves to keep from burning my hands when shooting the Uberti Henry. Your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel City Dude Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Weather or not you would need a glove shooting smokeless in a Henry depends a lot on how much you are shooting it. When I was using my Henry for CAS I could get away without using a glove for the 10 rifle shots. But if you shoot it the way Mike was doing it think I would want a glove on my left hand even with smokeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Whiskers Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm referring to the standard 10-10-4 + stage. By the time a shooter get's to the next stage I'm guessing even shooting BP the rifle will have cooled down. That's assuming you're not shooting it on a 100+ degree day and leaving it sit in the sun after you shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairshake Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have seen shooters use a heavy piece of leather with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
