Looking around wally world a little bit ago , they have a Henry 30-30 ,blue steel , straight stock , with no side gate. I can't find it in the Henry website , could this be a run just for Wal-Mart? Or has anyone else seen one?

Check out the one in the video at the bottom of this page. I believe it's the same gun as the one with the brass, just without the brass.

New Old stock

the henry didn't used to have a side loading gate , they were pull the tube drop rounds in and replace tube

nothing wrong with it , but doesn't lend it's self to top off loading well.

you can still load from the front on the side gate models

they discontinued making 2 different steel receivers is all , it wouldn't surprise me if Walmart made a deal to buy up the old stock and or they just have one that has been int he back room for a while

if the side loading gate isn't important to you , and you want it , just check that is has the features you do want like if you want it drilled and tapped for a optic or peep sight.

I think Henry is way over priced. They say made in America but they still have parts on their rifles made of plastic.

We do make plastic parts here in the US.

I was reading they have metal barrel band replacements and sight replacements to get rid of the plastic parts people didn't like.

My dad bought he and I a Henry single shot in .350 legend. Prettiest gun I own and by far the most gun I have for their asking price. I would not hesitate for a second on anything Henry makes. I can't speak for all models but I have yet to see plastic on any of their guns.

Made in America or not made at all is exactly the type of company I want to support these days.

Well on the 22 I had there was plastic parts .I think if they want to see high end rifles they should use steel.

My boy has one in .44 carbine. Great gun. Zero complaints.

I have a.22 lr. I like it.

I actually like the solid side better ,might buy it. It's drilled and tapped for scope mounts,straight stock,regular lever,no John Wayne loop.which I hate. Thanks guys.

I keep hearing about plastic parts on their rifles too,I got a Golden Boy in 17 HMR and their medium bore chambered in 38/55.The 38/55 is in layaway but I looked it over good before hand and I can't find the plastics others talk about in either gun.

I like Marlins much more, but I have a few friends who swear by their Henry rifles. Not having a side gate is annoying if you are used to them.

Son in Law has a henry in 357 magnum. I shot it some not long after he got it. I dont remember if it has a gate or not but we were hitting pretty good with it. his rifle is the shiny brass one

The Henry's run nice, but they are heavy compared to a Marlin or Winchester
