An easily-detachable carry strap will do, for "after the kill" carry.. My favorite is made of medium-weight leather, slit lengthwise for a 3-strand "mystery braid," with a J hook at the butt end, which hooks into an eye near the toe of the stock, and a twisted loop at the other ...

Thoughts on putting a sling on the Henry Big Boy?

Good Idea or not?

Thanks

So essentially (for the most part anyway) what I have gotten from the responses to my post is that: There is a genuine contempt for Henry guns because their DNA is not historically correct. There is a theory that Henry falsely touts themselves. Henry has offended the SASS purists. Henry's are Americ...

I surely ain't tryin' to start anything, and I appreciate any and all expertise around here, but are any of the above posters owners/shooters of a Big Boy? I'm not interested in the politics or business stuff (SASS or usage of the "Henry" name). Jes fer my own info., I'd want feedback fro...

Ok here comes my first questions (prefaced with some info) since I'm back here. I Had a Marlin lever action in 44mag. Gave it to my nephew prior to my big departure. He just turned 21 and had been hunting with his dad's gun (a semi-auto 30.06..eewwww :roll: ). I figured the kid should have his own g...

An AR15 platform can deliver on average 800 rounds per minute. That's 13.333 rounds per second. 13.33333333333 rounds per second = 1 round every 0.075 seconds. Obviously the user becomes the variable here but given the factual information about the weapon's (AR15) capability and an average skilled u...

EBR are fine but they are Sloooooooow. I can get 10 rounds fired off with my 92 Rossi before one can take the safety off a EBR. A lever gun will be faster for 10 round than a EBR every time. :wink: Let me start with: Is the above quoted, post a joke? If not then let me say this: I LOVE Lever Action...

Beware the man with one gun - he probably knows how to use it... :shock: There be genious in that there statement. Additionally something to consider is that IF you are talking "bug out" then you need to be considering a weapon that will accept a caliber that is easily found . Such as .22...
