1860 Henry Rifle in 44-40 FS for blanks or live shooting
« on: October 14, 2015, 01:09:10 PM »

I have a used A. Uberti 1860 Henry rifle in 44-40 for sale.  The brass receiver is beautiful and the bore is bright and shinny.  It has sling swivels, all the military markings, a new sling and a lever wrap already on the gun.  The blueing shows some signs of use but is still in very nice shape. It has been converted to fire blanks made from .44Mag brass and has a positive slam down modification which insures that the carrier block returns to the bottom position when levering the gun.  If you want it for live fire I can reverse the modification for blanks before I ship.  I can send additional pictures on request, just e-mail me.  I am selling it at the bargain price of only $1099. + Shipping.  FFL required.   For live shooting the 44-40 cartridge is one of the best for accuracy.
If you want to use it for reenacting here is the link to a web page where you can read my article about how I use mine for reenacting and how to make economical blanks for it.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a handsome, and well preserved body; but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming...."WOW!... What a ride!"

Changed my mind and decided not to sell this gun, but thanks for looking.
