I should have bought that '94 looking model when Walmart here was still selling guns, as I recall, on sale, they were about 169 (some years ago). I just kinda thought they would 'always' be around at that price. What was I thinkin'......
If I find a good looking one at a GS for reasonable I may pick it up, but it will probably have function 'issues', like most GS finds. A good cleaning might just take care of it.
A friend had wanted a Win. 9422 lever but tried some Marlins, a Henry and a Rossi(?). All went away. He kept the money at hand and when the Win. came along at the right price and condition he was able to buy it on the spot. He has been completely satisfied with no 2nd thoughts. I doubt that I will get a chance for my '1st dibbs', but I threw 'em out there anyway.
Henry is supposed to have a pretty good warrantee, arent they, if something goes amiss?
