Well, my wife does have a cell phone so I guess I do have access to one if I need it. But my circumstances really don't require one (I won't bore you with that).
So have you accomplished your goal?
I do have a Browning Model 86 carbine, and real Winchester models 94 and 95. So I do have three JMB designs. My favorites are the early models though as well. The Henry is just such a cool rifle. Love the brass and the long octagonal barrel. It is a heavy sucker though. That 24 inch barrel is stout.
Beautiful.Funny as the last rifle in the collection I acquired was the first one I shot as a kid, a '94. Recently found an early 16" gun at a reasonable price after looking for years. Henry is an amazing rifle for its day. Mine is chambered in a short .45 to mimic the original .44 rim fire. A "Yankee rifle you load on Sunday and shoot all week". Can't imagine actually shooting a high volume of fire from one without a glove on the support hand. BP likely got the rifle really hot! Like Scott's, mine are a collection of Brownings, Ubertis and Winchesters.
Nice pairing for 1906.
Thanks. It's too bad that US aren't being made anymore. Their prices are really driving up now so I don't know if I will get one but you never know.
Man.....I like those a lot!!!!Spencer would be pretty neat! My '76 is a Uberti, our '92s are all Brownings. US Firearms? Yes, my experience is the later US made USFA guns are every bit the equal and IMO much better than a 1st Gen Colt's. 150 years later the USFA guns should be. A decent 2nd Gen Colt is good as are the most recent 3rds. But over all, I'd venture to say the late USFA guns were better made and better finished than any generation Colt SAA. I've been shooting 1st Gen Colt's since I was a kid. Family guns going back 4 generations that I still own. I really like Colt SAAs and 1911s, but sadly Colt has been missing the mark for decades now.
Thought enough of the USFA guns to a few of them fancied up. These are guns I shoot, a lot. I have similar Colt's that cost more. These shoot better.
