You guys should go over to the Uberti site and see the new silverboy, it looks good, hopefully it will prove to be good.

No link??? You mean I gotta dig it out myself?

Oh kay then .... I dug it out.

I like the lines of the rifle, but I don't like the chrome plated receiver.
That would reflect light every which way.

JMHO

It looks like a knock off of a Henry to me.

Which I've read, is a knockoff of an ERMA design... no problem.

Jes a thought; whenever Henry rifles are mentioned, (today's Henry) a bunch of folks get riled up here about "not original" "stolen name" "not even a copy of original" and go on and on about it. Now here's a rifle by a foreign manufacturer that admits it is "all original" (meaning is isn't even a copy of a "real" Henry) and "classic styling" (meaning from a distance it lt's shaped like an original) and is chrome plated!. Where's the rightous indignation? Where's the accusations? This foreign made, chrome plated lever gun, seems to be getting some good feed back so far...

Enquiring minds want to know...

Not only that, the receiver is not steel. It's something else. Probably recycled beer can aluminum.

I'd like to shoot one just to see how it is.

Which, if I remember correctly, is based on the Browning design.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

Uberti makes no claims to being in direct lineage of Colt, Remington, Winchester or new Haven Arms, yet they do make fairly faithful copies of those maker's arms. Rather direct and honest.

Whereas, Henry Repeating Arms makes a shadowy claim of same. All from the son of the man that was the head of Iver Johnson... a former competitor of Colt and S&W, and at the time of their demise, an assembler of other's guns. (Colt's licensed IJ to build and finish the "Signature" Series of Colt's BP revolvers from parts left over from the 1970-80's Colt 2nd Series). Those relationships and inter-twinnings are neither unsavory nor unknown, and I, for one, would cast no stones.

If Imperato had named his new company Iver Johnson or anything else for that matter, and offered up he was now making US produced guns, in the case of the .22, the German manufactured (& I believe, also designed by ERMA) lever gun. Even if he'd called it a "Henry .22", who'd really care? Just as his dad had imported their .22 version of the M-1 Carbine, my disdain would be... well... non-existant. But, frankly, his arrogance in claiming a legacy from B. Henry Tyler and ergo, his companies new name... that insults the intelligence.

That's strictly my opinion. You're welcome to ignore it and develop one of your own.

nothing a 50% discount and a rattle can can't fix.

it does have a controlled round feed, which qualifies it as an African plains rifle.

Mescalero · Post by **Mescalero** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 3:14 pm

I like it, why all the contraversy? Bit pricey though, but I don't that will hold once it hits the shelves.
Probably wind up being one of those sleepers that we all kick ourselves for not buying.

I'll keep my Henry, thank you, it works fine and is made here. I do have a couple of Uberti revolvers and they work well also. God Bless.

Looks nice. They need to make a dark version of it for those of us not so excited about "bling".

have several uberti made weapons love them and the steel they are made from is as good or better than some of our us made weapons and finished a heck of alot better and fitted better. shame some of the us companies don't do more to make theirs look and function better.

I will stick with my 9422.

willygene · Post by **willygene** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:45 pm

i shoot thousands of rounds thru them every year and they are a lot better than any beer can i have yet to find a us made gun that is as well made or functions as well. the us made guns except the usfa made pistols are junk for the most part as they don't care about quality here i the us anymore. what a shame.

damienph · Post by **damienph** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 4:26 pm

I kind of like it but it is priced about 1/3 more than I am willing to pay for it.

Mescalero · Post by **Mescalero** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:58 pm

I'm hoping that comes down after they hit the market.

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:43 pm

Hmmmmmm,

US made guns are junk .... I'll be sure to tell that to my almost 35 yo Win 9422 next time I take it out shooting.

You talk to your guns Joe? You're as crazy as I am.

I'm happy with my solid stainless steel Taurus 62LAR

I gotta disagree. I've got a S&W that's as good as anything made anywhere. I'm sure the Freedom Arms would find fault with your preceptions also. I've even got a Colt or two that's as rock solid as any USFA or other copy of it. And my Shiloh... well, they're in a class of their own. I'll take any one of these US made guns over most imports any day of the week.

J Miller · Post by **J Miller** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:32 pm

Ji,

Yeah I talk to my guns. My sewing machines too.

You got one of the Taurus lever guns and I've never even seen one. That ain't fair.

Now THAT is a great looking .22 levergun. I cannot understand why they didn't sell thousands of them. I would have bought one if I ever would have seen one.

Ji in Hawaii · Post by **Ji in Hawaii** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 6:15 am

Taurus stopped making them before they even had a chance to sell many. I bought mine as soon as they came out, and not long afterwards they disappeared from wholesalers inventories. They done that with several of their firearms like their pump centerfires. I haven't a clue.
