Saw a Henry side gate 38-55Win yesterday. Would have bought it EXCEPT BRASS not STEEL. Will not hunt the woods with a shiny brass rifle. Waiting for the steel model.

Agreed on the shiny rifle concern. The side gate is a non issue with me but I really like the thoughts of a bb steel in that caliber, possibly with an octagonal barrel, I'd be in line for that.

and they make it in a 35 too. i also don't like that brass look. gotta love henry for keeping the old timers going at an affordable cost.

Yeah I wish Henry would get over the whole brass thing. They always seem more about bling than building working mans hunting rifles. And how many leverguns do pimps really buy anyway?

Nothing a little brass black wouldn’t fix.
