Very nice. How does it go? Have you experienced any peculiarities owing to the conversion work? Does it feed reliably?wildrover77 wrote:I own the one in the bottom photo.

Yes I know that, I thought it was Henry rifles being discussed. My mistake.dromia wrote:Browning, Winchester and Savage all made integral box magazine lever action rifles.

I read about the new range of Henry Under levers on an American forum a few days ago.

Which American forum was this and did they mention any specs i.e. do they take AR mags at all?ovenpaa wrote:I read about the new range of Henry Under levers on an American forum a few days ago.

The original post was referring to 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Lever guns and I copied the following at the time for reference, apart from these comments the rest of the thread held no interest. It was a US CAS type forum and I did not pay much more attention at the time.
Similar in form & function to the Browning BLR, but not the same exact gun.
20-inch round polished & blued barrel, detachable STEEL flush-fit box mag, gear-driven action, 6-lug rotary bolt lockup, in-hammer-face sliding transfer bar "safety", matte-finished hard-anodized receiver, checkered walnut, solid rubber pad, trigger does NOT travel with lever, 7 pounds empty, side ejection, initially offered sightless for scope mounts.
An interesting departure for the company.
Twist is 1/9 for the .223, 1/10 for the other two.
Mag capacities 5 and 4 & 4.
As I said- availability most likely by mid-summer at the latest. Probably sooner.
Can't give any specific time frame.
Looks like a nice rifle, and they take the barrels quite seriously.

The timing issue on the older Brownings was due to a nylon gear that was prone to....timing issues. :)
They later changed to steel.
Henry by-passed the nylon gear & uses steel from the git-go.

I've suddenly developed an itch for a box fed lever action .308 that needs to be scratched as soon as possible :)

http://www.ammoland.com/2015/12/hunt-wi ... z3wU4Z7P00I did get to see the parts that will make up a new HRA rifle projected to be released in mid 2016. It will be the H014 Long Range Lever Action rifle. This new rifle will be magazine-fed, chambered in .308 win, 243 win and 223 Rem. The bolt will lock into the barrel to facilitate excellent accuracy. I will write a follow-up column on this rifle when the first production ones come off the manufacturing line at Henry Wisconsin.
