Henry

Are we talking honest by God Henry, an original? or a replica, or one of the new Henry's? I have a replica in .45 long colt, works fine and is fun to shoot, don't remember if it is Uberti or other. I will post a picture when I have time to dig to the back of the gun safe and drag it out. 1873 winchester action is basically the same, just load the tube different ways.

Is that a green tea question? or a Henry question?

righty, like Rush

And also right handed! Was the Henry the first Ambidextrous rifle? No loading gate on either side of the rifle, made it equally inefficient for both left and right handed people.
