Question on 1860 Henery

Bristow Kid · January 29, 2006, 10:34:29 AM

I found a umberti 1860 Henery repro in .45 Colt. Its never been fire and was priced around 650. My question is. The action that is brass on all I have ever seen was case colored on this one. Is that an original option on these guns? Thanks for all help.

Unfired Uberti iron frame Henry @ $650 ... don't walk ,but run , run to BUY IT !

NIB it's about $1100

Kid, like the Major said that's a great price. The first Henrys were made with iron frames but because of various problems they switched to a type of bronze or gun metal similar to what canaons were made of. The originals are rarer than the so called brass framed ones. An the reproductions are more expensive. $650 would be a great price on a brass frame it is real good on an iron frame.

Buy it and if you don't like it I'll buy it from you at a $50 profit. I'm serious by the way.

I've never seen a CCH '66, but there are a few Henrys with CCH receivers. At that price I'd jump all over it...then I'd sell it for a profit.

Don't buy it, it's a rip off. "Let me buy it and I'll give that guy a piece o my mind."

Sorry boys she's gone I missed my chance. Wish I'da known what I know now back when I first saw it.

I'm not surprised, the last one I saw, was on consignment in my FFL's shop @ $1100 .
I tried to wrangle a trade, no soap

, the owner needed cash.
A day or two later he got his cash.

oh well ! I suppose luck of the draw ...

Ya snooze, ya lose. If you had checked your thread about a half an hour after you posted it you might be the proud owner of a Henry now. When you have a chance at a gun & need to ask questions you need to stay on top of it. Bargains go real fast, especially on line.

Well Cornel it was a matter of having the money for it when I saw it. And since I plan on shooting NCOWS I wanted to make sure it was authentic. Heck theres one in the CASCity classifieds right now. So if you willing to lend me the $1000 plus he wants for it I would be glad to purchase it. And I checked the one I missed might possible still be for sale from the gun that baught it.

Bristow, since your going to be a NCOWS pard, buy your long guns from Rezac's in Valapariso, Nebraska, even if you don't want to drive over, they will be cheaper even with a transfer fee at your local FFL. Phone number is 402-784-3557, open Wednesday through Saturday... ask for Joel and tell him WymoreWrangler sent ya, and he'll charge you an extra ten dollars...

Thanks pard, I'll be sure and check him out.
