Just bought a Henry 44 mag lever action with side gate. Anyone own one? Thoughts on the Henry? This is my first Henry.

Nice rifles and they will take care of you if any issues. Get an extra mag tube, they will send you one free if you email them.
Like my 41 mag a lot but wish it had the side gate, I do not have any issues with the tube load though but another loading option would be great.

It will be a fun rifle.

Clean and lightly oil the inside of the outer feed tube and inside and outside of the inner feed tube. The feed tube knob has a 1-way pin so watch which way you punch it out. It also has a tooth to bite into the brass. Also, stretch the tube spring to plus 10% to insure feeding. Lightly oil the innards. All the screws have had a habit of becoming loose. Tighten them prior to each use. Enjoy!

When available, add some Marlins.


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

I got a steel model, better shooting than the last marlin I had.
