I love the brass tack work on you rifle! Did you do it yourself?

Yes, I did do the brass tack work myself.  I picked out some upholstery tacks to be different.
Listen!  Do you hear that?  The roar of Cannons and the screams of the dying.  Ahh!  Music to my ears.

Not the best picture, but here is mine, with some extras.

Henry is with a elk leather fringed case with beaded nose.  I made it trying to capture Ethan's sheath from "The Searchers"
Below it is a Winchester 94, it is with an Apache inspired Case.  Case was made for one of those pretend Henrys, they are the same size as the Win 94, so I used my 94 as the base.  It is brain tanned deer with trade wool lining and trade wool inserts. Seam is sewn with buffalo leg sinew, beads are done with linen.   It was a lesson in patience for me.   Beneath that is just and odd-ball brass remington with shoulder stock.  That case was made from scrap, but didn't turn out too bad.

The wood on the Henry Arms is outstanding. My question is this natural or an applied finish ? I had read somewhere it was applied if so I would like to know how they did it.

HRA uses fancy select American black walnut.... on every one , Oil finished....



The Chaparral 73's Charter Arms imported in 07 or so had a faux finished mystery wood....
Which was awful ....  ::)

would you rather have a henry trapper model over the 24.25" barrel.

I'll pack the weight,.....I like more rounds at the ready,....

13 rounds in the tube on these 17.5" barreled guns using .45 C. Special brass and a set screw in the lifter.
More historically correct with a 200gr .45 bullet doing 1200fps  than a 45 Colt by a long shot :-)  And best of all they run like goose grease on fire when required.






Some how seems to be a decent rifle/ammo combo to me :)
