Henry rifle

gearheaddad
Can anyone recommend a good book on collecting the henry rifle. I have the book "The Historic Henry Rifle: Oliver Winchester's Famous Civil War Repeater" but it has more information on the guns history than information for the collector. I am looking for a book with serial number ranges, details on the guns of those ranges, proper markings, what to look for... And the likes. Also can someone explain to me what the "henry bump" in the stock is? Thank you

    My brother has a lot of rifles, going trough them today I found a brass bodied rifle(no stock and the barrel a little rusty)

    It looks just like a henry rifle but I cant imagine him ever haing the money for one.

    It has a serial number on the bottom of 45329

    Is there a way to research this to see if its real or a reproduction?

    It appears to be about 45 cal and it had some papers taped aroud it with numbers on them 4356, 4342,4396..noo idea if they are related but they are taped to the barrel


    the brass is in better hape than this one but it has no stock or trigger

    Hello Ed...

    Unfortunately, there are no surviving records for the original Henry rifles (or for the first 124,999 Model 1866s). Use this link to see what information Cody does have - http://www.bbhc.org/firearms/popup_WinchesterRecords.cfm
