1860 Henry
Has anyone owned or compared the Uberti made 1860 to the current US made Henry 1860?
Watching a Henry video on their Web page the finish work on the US made version looks vastly superior to any Uberti I have owned.
I have found myself contemplating trying one for Silhouette. It’s short comings I can see for me is you may be stuck with the front sight as is. The plus may be the unique barrel profile with its integral magazine tube. It is a heavy and I assume stiff son of a gun without the draw backs of forearm pressure and a magazine tube dangling from it. I shoot with the receiver on my fist so the no forearm and the follower traveling isn’t a concern, Or in my current imagination not a concern. Thoughts, opinions, experiences?

Re: 1860 Henry
The Henry Repeating Arms rifles used to have octagon barrels that were over polished and the edges of the flats rounded off.
I haven't seen anything of recent manufacture.
In general they have also had less than acceptable quality control across the board.
