I was browsing the local gun boards and saw a post stating they were looking for a AR10 pattern gun and had a nice 357 lever action to trade. I messaged the guy for pics and he sent me pics of this nice all weather Henry.

I traded him a Ruger SFAR that I liked but did no love. This gun is just beautiful with the black stock and hard chrome finish. It shoots beautifully as well. My Marlin 357 is butt ass ugly compared to this gun….lol

Nice looking gun. While they don't have the traditional loading gate, I like the way they load. It is quicker and easier to work on/replace some parts. I have a .22 Henry and it is a great, fun little gun.

Congrats! That does look great. A .357 levergun is on my short list this year, in stainless if I can find one for a square deal. Like Pat, I think the spring tube style is easier to deal with for loading, yes, but also unloading. Quite handy.

I dig. That will be a nice hog getter.

Very nice addition, bet it's a hoot to shoot. I wonder what is the velocity of a full power round when leaves that barrel?

Probably pretty zippy for the size.

I have one as well and LOVE this rifle. If you prefer a peep sight, try the Skinner. I never was partial to the buckhorn from the factory, and found the peep faster and my accuracy increased.

.357 mag from a 16-18” barrel has a significant fraction of the muzzle energy provided by 30-30 (around 1200 ft lbs compared to 1800). It can slap pretty hard for white tail sized game within 50 yards.
