I thought they were made from Zamak pot metal. Tin and Zinc blend.
I wonder if using plastic barrel bands is a new practice?

Henry Barrel Band
I like everything about my Henry Frontier .22 WMR lever action except the plastic barrel band. Does anyone make a replacement band in iron or steel?

The frontier I bought last year has a metal barrel band for certain. Mine is not a magnum, but it shouldn't matter. Is yours a 20" barrel like mine?I like everything about my Henry Frontier .22 WMR lever action except the plastic barrel band. Does anyone make a replacement band in iron or steel?

I've never known or heard of a plastic barrel band on a Frontier, or any other Henry for that matter. May I ask if you are assuming it's plastic because it's non-magnetic? The barrel band, receiver cover and receiver on the Henry Frontiers I have owned have been made from an alloy called Zamak.I like everything about my Henry Frontier .22 WMR lever action except the plastic barrel band.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I did assume it is plastic because it is non-magnetic. So those parts are Zamak. Will research that material.I've never known or heard of a plastic barrel band on a Frontier, or any other Henry for that matter. May I ask if you are assuming it's plastic because it's non-magnetic?

Some very early H001's had plastic barrel bands. Henry will send a metal one if you contact them.

Appreciate the info. My Frontier 22 WMR is brand new. So I guess it has the ZAMAK metal barrel band.Some very early H001's had plastic barrel bands. Henry will send a metal one if you contact them.
Mine has a plastic band which kind of makes the rifle feel like a toy. Does anyone know if someone makes a metal buttplate too?
