Here is what it says except for one word I couldn’t make out. I would just like to learn more about these models.Ī decent chunk of the letter I couldn’t make out with his handwriting. And currently I am working with Cimarron on making a clone using the Uberti above as a base, of the original Henry that is linked above.
There are some other experimental Winchesters that have this “hinged” loading gate, notably some model 76s. As far as I’m aware the “Hinged” loading gate was not a standard production component, and was merely done to prevent other manufacturers from using it. Which is on the original loading gate patent drawings and on the original mock-up that is now housed at Cody Firearms Museum. For example the “hinged” loading gate is not on the original rifle(s), and was put on by Uberti as the “Hinged” loading gate is on the Patent Model of the Model 66. It is is real, so far as in that it is a Reproduction made by Uberti, that is not an exactly faithful reproduction. The bottom three photos of the post are of a Uberti Reproduction that Uberti sold as a “Transition Model” rifle.
The tale end of production of the Henry and the start of the 66 has serials intermixed during the transition to the model 66. And there was more than one of these made. The web link and the preceding two photos are of a very real Henry Rifle that is at the end of production when the model 1866 came into production. Alright lets clear something up for those paying attention to what was posted.
