Kind of an old thread but I just ordered a 357 Mag Henry Single Shot rifle. It is to be played with as is and then rechambered to 357 x 44 Bain & Davis. After that I'll get another one and rechember it to 357 Maxi.

Shot my new 357 the other day at the range. One thing- when unlocked my Henry will swing open with zero friction to slow the swinging barrel. Need to be careful if opening action around a concrete bench such as at the range I joined (It missed!). It’s completely tight with no movement when action is closed, but be aware there is NO ‘tension’ when the action is opened. Just an FYI, yours may be tighter(?).
I do not have a scope on mine yet.
Also, I have a 357 B&D form die if you go that route. I like both of your ideas, MAXimum and B&D. I’ve also thought maybe a 358 Win!
I plan on shooting it as is in 357 Mag with a scope before any project ideas are done.
