This is a very interesting tour of the factory making rifles. This shows how they make the 45.70. The production machines are very good. And if you watch it over and over, it will sink in how this is done. What surprised me is making them in Wisconsin but assembly is in New Jersey. That makes me wonder why there and not at the plant that machines the rifles. Wonderful video too. https://www.henryusa.com/about-us/h...WT&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Factory_Tour
Do they explain why all rifles, rimfire to centerfire, regardless of caliber, all utilize the same method of loading? Do they explain why they do not utilize a side-loading gate that has been used by the Winchester and Marlin companies in their own lever-action rifles? The matter has been researched, but no clear data has actually been found.
I suspect they are assembled in New Jersey to "bribe" politicians for pro gun legislation and hold "jobs" over the state's head. They make Kimbers in NY and Kahrs in MA.
From what I understand, since the original Tyler Henry-designed rifle loaded from the muzzle end of the tube the new iteration of Henry decided to keep its designs influenced by that original (flawed) design.
How did a topic showing a factory producing a rifle veer off nearly instantly as to the question as to why rifles load the same way with some exceptions?
Because the thread would only last so long before it became yet another topic of discussion pertaining to firearm-related restrictions, and other politically-motivated drivel.
