Re the Henryish
Cosmetically still the same.
Have shot it some, and works well.
At 11.6 pounds, not an offhand rifle, but nooo recoil.

This is my second attempt, first was a Webleyish thing.
Hope to color case the lock plate and Hammer soon, rust blue the barrel and action.

Next on the list is a double rifle in 7.7x50R
Then maybe a Farkie.
Hope all this works.
thanks for the interest and comments.

Thank you Oldstarfire, beee-Yutiful job, I would sure be proud of that one too. I'll be happy to watch you build the next one.

Last update for this one - I promise.

Since you asked........
Here it is, still needs chequering, will do that this winter.
Enjoy.
