200 years of Henry. First working lever action rifle

Where it all began

Among the first pistols that marked an end to the history of the Wild West was the Vulcanic. A pistol of this type is very interesting in itself - it is the first rifle with a lever-brace and an under-barrel tubular magazine. Reloading was carried out using a lever similar to the Henry staple, but designed for one finger. Today in gun stores you can come across replicas (copies) of the “Vulcanic” chambered for a unitary cartridge. They are deservedly popular among fans of Wild West weapons.

Kings of the hunt

However, no one can deny the fact that the main niche of Henry rifles is hunting. Lever weapons on the American continent were an indispensable attribute of travelers and hunters. It was even called the “cowboy weapon” in the Wild West. Since there are no protruding parts on the rifle (bolt handles, magazine, etc.), it can be easily and quickly stored in an oblong case that resembles a knife sheath, and placed in a car, on a horse, attached to a backpack. This weapon is lightweight and always ready to fire. Loading it is very simple: if the cartridge is in the chamber, just cock the hammer, but if not, just one movement of the clamp and you're done!

The first rifles earned their popularity thanks to the successful choice of cartridge. For hunting any game in North America, the revolver analogue was just right; with it you could easily go even to a bison. Moreover, it turned out that it was incredibly convenient to have a rifle and a revolver chambered for a unitary cartridge. The long and happy life of the lever-action rifle, the brainchild of American designer Benjamin Henry, is due to its simple and reliable mechanism, tolerance of poor conditions and unpretentiousness.

Having talked about the history of rifles, we can move on to a more detailed acquaintance with weapons with a Henry brace.

ROSSI-92

It is a pretty good copy of Winchester 92, which was produced by the Brazilian company Puma. To comply with modern standards, a safety lever was added, mounted on the bolt, which also locks the firing pin. The firing pin is fully blocked, although it remains possible to reload, cock the hammer, and even release it without firing. The second improvement is the key that locks the trigger. It just turns, and that’s it - the rifle is completely blocked, it is impossible to cock the trigger or open the bolt.

This feature is considered very convenient. And another useful innovation is a coiled mainspring instead of the plate spring that was on the original. It is much more durable and simpler.

WINCHESTER-1886

This is an original Winchester that was produced by the company between 1886 and 1892. It has a powerful faceted barrel designed to accept unjacketed lead bullets and black powder. The model is quite old, so it is not surprising that the inscription WINCHESTER, once stamped on the metal, may be worn out from long-term use. Despite the fact that this model is more than 120 years old, all the mechanisms work properly, and the mock-up of the cartridge is thrown out and sent back without any delays! Antique gun enthusiasts are scratching their heads over the clue to the .44 WCF mark.

It is clear that the first letter is the name of the manufacturer (Winchester), but the next two raise doubts about the interpretation. There is an assumption that CF is center fire, that is, central fire. During the creation of the rifle, an active transition from ring-fire cartridges to cartridges with a primer in the center of the case bottom had just begun. They were called center fire. A little later, these letters disappeared, and the cartridge that fits this rifle began to be called 44-40. Indirectly, the letters WCF say that it is better to shoot only cartridges with black powder. The carbine box is open at the top; there is a window on the right for charging, which is closed by a spring-loaded door. The box itself is durable and quite massive, made of a single piece of metal.

Shutter mirror

It is also original. Its entire lower part is moved forward and spring-loaded. It carries two functions. The first is the reflector. During the movement of the bolt back, the constantly spring-loaded sleeve is, as it were, wedged between the chamber and the lower part of the cylinder. As the case leaves the chamber, the deflector, upon release, ejects the case from the case. The advantages here are undeniable: despite the slow opening of the shutter, extraction will always be reliable. The second function is to prevent a shot from being fired when the shutter is not closed. The firing pin simply will not be able to reach the primer while part of the bolt is moved forward. The thoughtfulness and simplicity of the design is simply amazing; it is worth noting that it is the result of a huge amount of work on milling and fitting complex parts. Attention to them can be seen in the following touch: the aiming line is blocked by the released trigger, signaling that you are about to shoot, but the gun is not ready to fire.
