Super nice gun . DONT do a thing to it if you care about the value. If you want to redue it the value will be lost but sometimes that is not the most pressing issue either. I have been tempted to get my 1964 version blued and made like new again just for the fun of it but. But for value reasons leave it as is. They are amazing guns I have two, a 1964 and a 1942. Both in fair shape but don't leave the safe very often.

I have always wanted to get the 45-70. Such a fun caliber IMO. Not sure if I would get the henry version or the Marlin version either. Both are probably pretty good. If I wouldn't get the 45 70 I would probably stick to the 30.-30. Just a classic round for the lever gun. I do wan the henry .22 as well.

so many wants!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
