We think owning a lever action keeps history alive, which helps us better appreciate what we have. Some like to modernize with aluminum furniture, and others like to keep them in their original configuration. Jeremy opted to keep it mostly original, but added a pic rail for optic mounting. Repeaters will always have a place in the hearts of red blooded Americans who understand the importance of history.
The RDR 2 intro was perfect.
This rifle will be a birthday gift for my father this year. He’s going to love it. Great video.
Great gift! Thanks for watching.
@Goodzz how was his reaction?
Got one 4 years ago…357 carbine….but in hindsight if i would have waited a few months, i would’ve opted for the big boy X in 357.
I was indeed poopin on company time…
Same
We have all been caught
@305vibesss your the hero we need right now 🤣🤣🤣
Me too
Fuck da company
While working in Alaska I was told that the bear guides mostly bring big bore lever action rifles on hunts with open sights for defense in the event of an attacking grizzly. Very fast reliable action. I have a 22 golden boy, very nice feeling smooth action. Good video.
I have the 92 In . 44 mag/spc. Been carrying it for 18 years. Carrying one cal. For both hand gun and rifle. Big enough for hunting or defense here in the rockies. 12 in the rifle 6 in the one on my hip haven't found a problem 18 44 mags can't solve
I have a Henry lever action in 357 with brass chamber and octagonal barrel. I was thinking of selling it to buy another gun but when I opened the case and looked at it in all it’s glory I just couldn’t do it. Think I made the right choice!!!
Just buy the other one anyway.
You were going to sell it before you even got it?... 0.o
@@EroticOnion23 no had it for years
Same here, same gun, however i do want a Big boy X in 357 too!
Just finished paying off a layaway on one of those a month ago. I'm glad I did because henry/marlin/Winchester levers are still incredibly hard to find in 357 at pawn shops where you can put em on layaway
My first ever lever rifle was a henry. I wanted an all American lever gun.
Amen to that, buy American!
@AmusedKelpie-tc9du all of my rifles are henry. Yes, I know it's alot of money. But they are all American made.
What the intro to this video clearly shows is the absolute utility of a split bench seat in a pickup if your truck carries a gun in the backcountry. I’ve carried everything from a hunting rifle to a Mini14 to an AR between the seats. My back country vehicle has a console, and I miss being able to have my long guns so easily within reach.
That car exit with the slow motion swirly first round chambering looked cool. Not sure I’d ever want to flag my own face like that though.
Cool that you kept it minimally molested.
You being a lefty I feel the need to mention the lever action is far more user friendly to a lefty than any right handed rifle.
And these rifles come in everything from .22lr to 45-70
Oh and they can be converted to take down rifles and that allows the use of other barrel sets if you wanted to invest in that feature. It is expensive though.
I own three lever guns
Marlin 336
Uberti 1873
And a Shiloh sharps 1874
Beautiful well made rifle. I am awaiting delivery of the .357 version of the Henry Big Boy Lever Action. Great informative video
Great job putting this together.. and I love the look of the Henry Big Boy Carbine ❤
I have the brass model and I'm going to get the blued version sometime soon 😜
I've had a Henry and Ruger teamed-up in .44 mag., for years. I recently got/paired-up another pair but in .357, too. Trusty and lightweight but VERY effective for the tasks I expect to need them to do. I don't slap anything 'Fancy' onto any of them. I'm a huge believer in the K.I.S.S. principle.
:-)
Amen man I feel as though th gun community has got lost in the hype of fancy gadgets wood furniture and steel not plastic adorned with leather

I do appreciate the advancements in all things '2A related' but I'm never going to be one of those 'Keep up with the Joneses' type person.
I own firearms with wood stocks/forgrips (Papa's M1 Garand being my most favorite!), and I own firearms with synthetic stocks, usually made out of stainless or 'Weather resistant' metals (Try living in any wet/humid environment and you'll find out why!).
I just don't add another 5-10 POUNDS of attachments to anything, 'cause to me that really compromises their/the shooters skills and effectiveness in a 'SHTF' situation.
If you've got all the time in the world, and your very life isn't on the line second-by-second, then hell, add whatever tickles yer fancies!
tyvm for your reply!
I absolutely love lever guns. I've got 8. 2 henry's, 2 Rossi's, a marlin, a winchester and a chiapa.
I also have a couple of the rifles you forgot between muzzle loaders and lever actions. Falling block breach loaders. They took full cased bullets. Black powder, but full modern style bullets.
Both of mine are sharps in 45/70 in modern powder. No black powders in my collection.
I love guns of the late 1800s.
Not american here either btw. Aussie. But love american west guns.
Along with my regular hunting rifles. 👍
Good looking rifle, love what you’ve done!
Thanks for the video, I'm gonna go buy one now
Love it and you have it kitted lefty like I like it. Perfect Sir!!
I need a lever action because it will fulfill my cowboy fantasies. I’ve always wanted one I’m just too damn poor. On that pb&j survival diet rn
It should also be mentioned that pistol cartridges out of even a carbine ups the speed and power considerably!
Between 200-500 fps depending on powder and bullet used. 300fps typical. Turns a special into a magnum.
@@mkshffr4936 Even greater when compared to 4 inch pistol barrel.
I have the color case hardened version, rifle length though. Very much 👍
I liked the smash button
A little fast and loose with the definition and advantage of repeaters there but otherwise a good perspective that I generally agree with.
20 in barrels are nice in that you get 10 rounds in the magazine. The fixed magazine removes the concern of damaged or lost magazines. The tube mag also allows easy top up while still in battery.
When it comes to slick and handy long guns the lever is hard to beat. And when it comes to character it is without peer.
To the corrections, a repeater includes not just levers but also pump, bolt, and semi-auto actions.
Also non-repeating cartridge arms existed prior to the repeaters which could load and fire one round every 2-3 seconds rather than one or two a minute for muzzle loaders.
You need a lever action because the people that sell lever actions need you to buy lever actions.
You make the same mistake my wife makes when discussing "need" vs want. To answer your question, I do not NEED a lever action rifle. But I WANT one or, better yet, I want another lever gun!
Nice to see another "lefty"
I keep seeing them and I want one but I always end up with a ar15 lol
Actually much prefer the Rossi 1892 Winchester clone, but I don't trick it out for urban warfare. Although they aren't a bad choice....
living in Australia, where you're not allowed to own a semi-auto, and I'm left-handed, so lever gun it is.
I had a 1950 model 30-30 and sold it ugh!
Nice !!!!
Yeah... you caught me poopin on company time...
Sitting bull had a red dot. Well, he would have if they were available
Still trying to like the smash button
The answer is at 7:13
What's that for a cheek riser?
Iove my 9422 Winnie; form and function meIded into a thing of beauty. Iong Iive the Iever.
This rifle is legal in all 50 states. 357 lever carbine will get the job done.
Know what else would be really cool? New production metal FAL mags, if only there was a company the had the connections and wanted to make money....hmm...
"like that smash button" 🤣
Pooping… not on company time…
My in 45 colt
I don't cuz I have a 44
I kinda wanna hate that red dot on a lever gun….. yup I hate it
I died a little on the inside too
I need a 41mag lever gun.
I stupidly put my money into 41mag revolvers and want to match my guns.
well you could have a lever gun custom converted but it would be cheaper to sell off your revolvers and buy new 44 or 45 revolvers and get a 44 or 45 rifle.
@@kcstott hahaha. Very true. I’ll just keep using different rounds and use a rifle size cartridge for its added benefits
I have Henry's big loop carbine in 41 mag to match my Blackhawk
@@BogstersBanters I’ll have to look into a 41 Henry
I have the Big Boy Steel version which is no longer available but they have a 41 magnum Golden boy carbine with octagon barrel which is super nice as I have one in 45 colt@@TeensierPython
Goofy shit with spinning it around …
Henry stands for over priced collectible.

Me too, but to say the truth I'm left eyed and this is why I shoot with left hand.
....Same here, so it always was the biggest perk for me...Waiting on a used model 92 in .357/38 ...My first lever and thkugh its without the saddle ring and its has the normal loop I feel blessed since lever actions in anything other than .22 just never seem to be stock and when they are they don't stick around long.
Same

Love lever actions. Got hooked as a kid watching The Rifleman. There wasn’t one problem Chuck Connors couldn’t solve with that lever gun. The tactical rifle of the 1890s still has a place in the gun rack today. .357 or .45 long colt, is a good home defense round, especially in a suburban environment. It’s a good choice if you live in a place where an AR draws unwanted attention or the state has created a number of legal issues with possessing one.
They don't just make good home defense guns, but also hunting guns.
Load a Henry 45 colt with +p ammo and you got your self a poor mans 45/70.
Hell, if a .357 magnum revolver is good enough for bear defense, its even better out of a rifle.
The Red Dead intro got me. Great video, I love my Dad's Marlin lever gun.
I'm a long time lever action kind of guy. My first one was handed down to me when I was 14 from my dad ( marlin Glenfield 30-30) , and now I'm 46 and I handed it to my son when he turned 14 this year. Of course I found and bought me another one just like it and my dad had done the same back when it was my turn. Since then I've added a henry big boy 45 lc and I absolutely love it. Great video, very well spoken . I agree with everything you had to say 100 percent.
WHY do people keep saying 45L?? There is NO such caliber. It is 45Colt Period. Look at the Ammo Box, it Clearly says 45Colt...
I should've been a cowboy
I should've learned to rope and ride

Woah, I should've been a cowboy
RIP TOBY KEITH
Once you mentioned pooping on company time, I was in!
Makes me think of John Wayne in True Grit. Fill your hand you SOB 👍.
Great line. Another good one, "Anything happens to that boy, you're gonna die. My fault, your fault, nobody's fault. You're gonna die." Makes me sad that Palladin had to be the bad guy in that one.
Love lever action more than AR because it is simplistic.
This may be a stupid question on a video 6 months old but if you wanted to could you hunt deer with .357 lever action or would you want to do that with one of Henry's larger caliber option
Like that smash button 😂
Got mt first lever gun last year Ruger's Marlin Black edition in 45-70.
Tactical furniture makes it more functional.
Love it except the price off ammo.
Bit always wanted that power of 45-70.
It's a blaster.
Historically, they didn't jump straight from slow cap & ball reloading to lever-action repeaters. I'm sure you've heard of the Sharps rifle, a single-shot breech load. There were also revolving rifles with a multi-round cylinder, and double barrel rifles which functioned pretty much like a coach gun.
Well done American History right here!
Because they're so dam cool. Every time I go to the range I get asked to try it.
I will never understand a Chinese red dot on top of an American firearm
Can you suggest a USA made brand
I thought Holosun was ROK?
It helps you aim
That’s like being mad at someone for wearing Chinese socks with American cowboy boots.
If it works don't hate on it.
I'm left-handed, I have the same rifle, but I have the extra rounds held on the butt stock on the RIGHT side. It's easier for me to pull them out, then put them in from the same side.
Absolutely gorgeous rifle
Yer alraaght boyh.
Lefty nation 🤩
I agree with you like that one just how it is.
Why do I need a lever action rifle? Because they are freaking cool. Enough said.
If you want something better than buckhorn, get a Skinner peep. Looks right and a nice upgrade!
Have a Rossi R92 357. Had the red dot on but took it off for my PCC. I like the peep sight more as ive gotten faster with target acquisition using it.
Lever Action is like Fork & Spoon when invented it never go away in the table!
I was pooping on company time
As a proud Henry fan boy, I own the X gun in 357/38. My main reasons are: cool factor, complements my pistol (Chiappa Rhino 40DS 357/38).
I also run a red dot which gives combat effective hits out to 200yds.
literal gun control porn
I have several Henry rifles. (22LR, 44mag, and 30-30). I have an older Marlin 357mag, 1894CB, octagon barrel. I added Skinner sights. Just a fun gun to use. Lever actions are lots of fun. The 30-30 has taken plenty of hogs over the years. I have a Vortex 2-7x32 scope on it. This rig does a fine job. I like the good-looking wood on lever guns.
Wow, this video inspired me to go buy a Marlin!
lol don’t “need” my Henry 357 but sure do love it. I put a light on a skinner sight rail and the leather buttstock shell holder. It’s done.
Same!
Good video but I just wanna add one more point to it. The reason you should own a repeater is because...
With modern rifles, yeah having a detachable magazine and higher capacity magazines is cool and all, but that's just another component that can get lost or break.
Less parts, less processes, less potential points of failure.
If you live in a fascist state that does not allow you to own a semi automatic rifle in the AR or AK platform, then the lever action is a viable choice for a home defense rifle. I have been looking at possibly getting Henry's Big Boy X in .357 magnum and dressing it up with a tacti-cool handguard & butstock. The handguard & butstock will allow me to mount two 8 round quivers to keep ammo handy as well as allow me to mount a light for nighttime use.
If I had a vintage lever action, I would definitely keep it all stock and original but for now, I am searching for something that would meet my needs at the moment.
My wife would like a word with you
I have the 357 Henry lever action, but mine doesn’t have the side gate but that’s ok 10+1 !
Ya i couldnt agree more, and im canadian i havent gotten one yet but my father in law has a win 94 in 30-30 and i hope some day i could buy that or inherit that gun. Agreed they arent really setup well to run optics and need a cheek riser and the old furniture is what gives it the look fiber optic peep sights more erganomic levers butt stock cover all good anything more and it loses that "heritage" look
Ill get this after the Python, then no note guns.
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That’s why I do my pooping on company time.
5:25 no lol. firing rate for British regular was 20 seconds. Thats with flintlock too.
R.I.P Arthur Morgan 🫡
I have the 45-70 Golden Boy. But that is a nice level action rifle.
Lever action good for small calibers. Bolt for bigger ones. 😂
The first gun I bought was a 1967 Winchester model ‘94 in 30-30. I added a sling, but that’s all I’m going to do to it. I want a tacti-cool lever gun in .357 with all the extras.
I'm in almost the exact same position. Have my Winchester 30-30 with a sling and I too want a 357/38 but I won't tactical it. Maybe a red dot but nothing more.
@@nodayatthebeach that’s the beauty of it. We could theoretically buy the exact same gun, but if we ever met at the range, they would look completely different because of the accessories we’ve added to make each one our own,
@@paulash1770 I cannot argue with that ! Good point. Oh, and I wasn't knocking you for doing it. I agree with doing what you want. Go for it !
Cuz they're GD AWESOME! End video lol
I always thought these were kinda of old man looking and dumb but man, I may end up buying one.
I was pooping.. that's the only reason you got my like, you sorcerer
I was forced to like this so he wouldn’t snitch lol
These and revolvers you know how annoying it woud be to keep up with and load magazines when your in a shtf situation. Not as many rounds at a time but you can reload fast if the other person only had 1 mag
I like the old lever guns. Henry (original), Winchester, Marlin, etc. I have a couple and plan on keeping them for future generations to enjoy….
The RDR reference made me like & subscribe immediately!
Damn yall even had the dumbass Home Depot music for that opening 😂
Lol i am pooping
I like the honesty. S tier comment
"Like that Smash button." WIsh I could like the video twice now.
