i have wanted a second cowboy rifle , but did not know what i wanted , i asked a couple people to watch for one of these , let me know what turned up - well i now own an 1860 hennry - new in the box by uberti , 

now my backup guns are complete and my grandsons will graduate to centerfire when ready , maybe i can get my son to shoot with me too , 
i have uberti pistols and leather from galco , i also now have two - 1897 winchester pumps made in 1911 - one i will cut down the other preserve as a cowboy trap gun ,

thanks , i really wanted a second that would maybe become a first choice depending on how she shoots compared to my 92 , it was easy to add the ruger vaquero to that stainless taurus then add a second cimmaron and the second set of leather was given to me by a great friend who likes what i do , the first 1897 was a steal , the second was free , i need to spend some time on everything i own , and shoot new photos for a record , 




i guess between the sharps that i bought for cowboy long range and the 1897 i bought for cowboy trap im startin to think i got more money in cowboy guns then i do in 3-gun stuff , 

particularly when you consider that ive also got two complete sets of buckaroo gear with the pair of black colts and new birdshead cimarron to match the first , as well as duplicate leather , 



as well as the youth henry starter and grown up - golden boy - marlin 39a - and winchester 9422 , the kids are set , i have a 410 coach that matches my 12 , and my light load 3/4oz 12 ga is an easy transition to 12ga for the buggers as they grow ,

thanks jon 

WR , ive been buying "off the wall" all month - im not what happened to me , i have three coming in this month alone , and not one made sense really , i bought one for a matching mag and another because ive never seen one before , next month will be different i assure you , 

that henry was planned - ive wanted one , just had to get the right deal on it , and i did , it was actually a standing order with my local gunsmith guy , its been six months getting it ,

A Sq: Whats next? Maybe a little trip to Little Bighorn for best 2 out of 3??

Nice looking stuff!
I had an ole Navy Colt back in the day. Really enjoyed it - but the Liberal gov't made it too difficult to own & use..even tho it was black powder & primarily used for re-enactments.
(Ya don't see people using black powder stuff for robberies & murders..but you can tell a Liberal..but ya can't tell 'em much!)

i guess if we had been armed with the henry instead oif the indians things would have gone a little different - not sure the end would have changed but it might not have come so quickly , 

one day i need to get all of this stuff in one place at the same time for photos - might take a while but its needing to be done ,
