Anyone have one? I,ve read some good and bad reviews. Most are a couple years ago about cases rupturing by the extractor groove in the breach. Looks like a nice little lever action. Thanks

What interested me was the pistol grip and take down like a Marlin M39 which it's a loose copy of. Henry doesn't have those features. My son has a Henry youth LA which is nice. But it's still a cast Zamak receiver like Chiappa. I have a like new Marlin Golden 39 but it's a long full size rifle. I just wanted a carbine size plinker. Minute of clay pigeon for a decent price. I,m not going for a 800 or more Marlin carbine. Thanks for the replies. I was hoping for someone that has one. Somebodies buying them as most I watch on GB sell around 300.00.

Thanks for the replies. I wasn,t aware the lever position on take down. I haven't seen one in person at any of the shops locally to handle. I don't plan to store it taken down so it shouldn't be a issue. Looks like it,s a nice size and price for a plinker. I wish one would show up local to handle.
