My two week old Henry SS .44 Magnum has good , not great wood as the bottom is well figured but the comb is sapwood. Still pretty and straight grained. Will send photos when I figure out how.
Added Skinner sights and have zero for 240 grain Federals at 50 and 100 yards. With that Zero old 210gr. Federals and low velocity cast handloads shoot high.
Replaced 7+ lb mainspring with Grainger and it is now a 4.5 lb. trigger.
In my new in box rifle there was no middle spring, just the heavy mainspring.
With Skinners and 73 year old eyes getting 2” groups at fifty yards.
