Of course, that's not as awesome as my Henry and my Winchester, both lever action and both made in
the US, not Italian junk.

Gee...some of the old Winchesters were very nice, especially when they
were manufactured in New Haven. The new Winchester clones, made in Italy
by Uberti and Chiappa, are of significantly higher quality than the old
Winchester-manufactured lever action firearms, and at least equal if not
better in fit and finish than the Japanese Winchesters.
The Italian clones exactly duplicate the older Winchesters in terms of
dimensions, screws and bolts, fitments, et cetera, but are turned out on
high quality computer aided machinery.

Here's a factory tour vid:

I test fired a couple of Henry lever action rifles, one in .357 MAG and
the other a .22LR kid rifle. I thought they were nice, but the .357 MAG
rifle seemed awfully heavy to me, at least two pounds heavier than my
Chiappa .357 MAG saddle ring carbine, and I didn't at all like the way
the Henry loaded, down the magazine tube from the muzzle end of the
rifle. The action was smooth, though. I might have bought one, but for
the weight and the "non traditional" way it loaded.

This is the Chiappa model I got:

And yes, the ejected casings do achieve low-earth orbit.

I am surprised they are not metric



I was, too, but they are not metric. Someone at Chiappa here told me
they got ahold of blueprints, drawings, whatever, had their engineers
upgrade the steel to modern specs, and reverse-engineered everything.
The fit and finish on the metal parts is terrific, inside and out, the
action is smooth, and the wood stocks are beautiful. I was told the
barrels give significantly more accuracy than the made in the USA
Winchester barrels. I don't know much about the Japanese Winchesters,
other than they were not available when I bought my Italian clone.
Everyone tells me, though, that the Japanese Winchesters are top-drawer,
too.

I have not had a desire to own a LE Winchester, at least not since I
was a kid but if I bought one I think I would want a collectible "made
in New Haven" one.
These days it is probably a better investment than stocks.
The crash is coming, certainly a big correction anyway.


My dad had a lever action Winchester carbine, but I don't remember
anything else about it.

Why do you say that? The market is doing fairly well but there is no
sign yet of frothy speculation. Watch interest rates. When they
start to rise, that will be the end of the party. Meanwhile the
economy is showing signs of improvement and that will most likely keep
things rolling for a while longer. A sure sign that it's time to sell
is when you start to hear your friends and neighbors talking about how
much they have made in the stock market.

I still ask what the hell do you thrive on? Discontent? Assholish
behavior? Being a ****head? Actually I was up in Sun Peaks, BC. Seems
as they seem to be nice in BC. What is it about that hell hole Halifax?
How much booze did you. On sump in the last week? I had 2 beers. You have
2 cases? A day?

What does "on sump" mean, Swill?
I assume you try to speak the Queen's English when you cross over into British Columbia.

Wow, Dickson.
You doubling up on your stupid pills.

You must be projecting your secret wishes for Giselle.

Don, you are a lost cause. I thought you had some redeeming qualities

until your response to John's post about the paper airplane.



Congratulations, you have achieved full assholedness and you are now

equal to Harry in being disliked.



Say what.... you don't like me anymore??
Whatever am I to do?

You may not have noticed Bertie, but John started this thread with a dig at Harry and his choice of rifles. I simply reminded him of his manners.

That would be "Boatless Bertie," a John Birch Society wannabe who hasn't
owned a boat for a single day during the nearly two decades I have
watched this group disintegrate. He's another of those bozos in my bin.
It must really stink in there. :)
