Is it a replica of an actual Henry, or one of those modern lever actions made by the Henry Rifle Co.?

Hey Dick, the camera is OK. The camera man had to go home to change his underware.

Cool camera angle, regardless!!!

It's the Uberti '60 Henry.

They're nice guns and were carried for the entire time that we think of as the Old West.

Love your guns.

Aren't the wedges going in the wrong side?

Crow Choker · May 09, 2010, 08:20:02 AM

On Walkers the wedge was inserted from right to left. Colt changed it from left to right when the Dragoons were introduced. Read one time why the Walkers stated out that way and why it was changed, will have to look it up to refresh myself. The Patersons had the wedge left to right, even what is known as the 'Transitional Dragoon" or the Whitneyville-Hartford Dragoon which was sort of half-Walker/half-Dragoon was left to right. If ya want to read a good reference, get a copy of Dennis Adler's book "Colt Single Action-From Patersons To Peacemakers". Wealth of information.
