SGT Chapman, where did you get the 44 Henry Flat cartridge boxes?

Did you make them?

I have never polished the receiver of my Henry and don't plan on it. I shoot nothing but BP in it.

Silver Creek Slim,

I like the receiver on your Henry.  Looks about like the receiver on my Improved Henry.  Better to sneak up on those bad guys.

Heres a couple......The "66" on the left is an American Arms by Uberti I bought about eight years ago...I've never had a problem of any kind with that rifle, neither are short stroked.

The Henry is a Uberti imported by Cimarron. Is about two years old. Its the one I replaced the original front sight (after it fell out during a match somewhere)  with a 1861 Confederate half dollar.

The 1866 carbine is the one I used as a prop for the Chiricahua Apache painting I did for NCOWS.

I shoot nothing but 2f Goex Balck Powder in them as I do all my guns. I refinished and stained the wood on both guns to a darker american walnut, don't like the red color you see on most Uberti guns.

Bill, what did you use to remove the finish on the rifles?   When I did my 73 a few years ago I think I used a chemical stripper but I can't be sure. ???

Will,
I used a chemical stripper I purchased at Lowes. I can't remember the name, but it was the heaviest duty stripper I could find there. I used an assortment of cabinet scrapers to scrape the finish off.

The diamond shape pattern represents a wickiup (Apache Dwelling), The cross is Christian and the line acroass the comb of the rifle represents the red road.
