I remember those at the fair ground ( carnival parks ), when we were still allowed to have fun with guns in England. That was when I was about 10 years old - I turned 70 last week !!
I used to collect older .22 rifles, I had an old Winchester 1890 pump that was a gallery rifle, I have a Remington Model 12A pump .22 and I also had a Winchester Model 74 semi auto that was the last of the gallery guns, loaded in the stock and took .22 short.
When I was 6 or 7, I learned how to shoot with my Dad's pump action Winchester 1906. It was originally purchased by my grandfather in the mid '20s. I still have it. A bit small, but really fun gun.
You cant beat a .22, Out of all the firearms I own, AR-10/15's , Garands,Enfields including my handguns, when I go out for a day at the range, my .22's are always in the mix and I usually end up shooting them the most. Fun, relaxing and just an all around kick in the pants to play with. Kind regards! Eric Dee.
I have a 1936 Remington model 10 .22 pump with an octagon barrel.. still shoots like a dream.. it was the first rifle I ever shot over 30years ago.. don't even know how or when my grandpa acquired it..
My Dad has a similar gun. Its a genuine Winchester 1890 gallery gun. Man, these things are fun. And imagining people back then actually using it back then at a carnival or fair or whatever makes it that much better.
I learned how to shoot at the shooting gallery on the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach DE in the early 1960's Loved those early pumps now Henry has hit a home run on this model.
Old Remington Fieldmaster 22 pump one of my favorites to this day. Pump 22's are a whole lot of fun, but would be more if the ammo wasn't getting so expensive!
I remember shooting galleries at fairs in the 80's. I actually didn't think they were real rifles until years later when a friend pointed out that they were rifles shooting 22 short. Too bad galleries are not around anymore.
we had our lever action shotguns reduced fro 7 shots to 5 shots because they were baby killing semi semi automatic death machines and the Australian media was in fear of another port Arthur.
Of the guns that are in my collections , the .22 guns are my favorites. This one from Henry, will soon be joining my collection too. Thanks for showing me ( all of us ) this one Eric.
My grandfather gave me one of these guns when I turned 12 or 13. Have put hundreds of rounds through on of these and haven’t shot it in about 10 years (23 years old now). Seeing this made me want to bust the old .22 out and put a couple rounds through. Thank you!
Eric I love that gun. I have the lever action and will eventually get the pump, also those cb caps knock the snot out of starlings all day long without bothering the neighbors.Great vid, thanks!!
My late father had that rifle. Wound up with my nephew. ( He divided up his firearms in his will, very evenly. ) That Henry pump .22 is a fun gun. Also, a great squirrel gun.
Went to local couty fair recently and the shooting gallery was semi auto .22 LR!!! Also the prizes included black powder rifles!!! $3 for 3 shots though...
When I was a kid one of my favorite things was to go to Springlake amusement park in Okla City, and I would make a beeline for the shooting gallery. That really brings back some great memories.
And now, Henry is offering threaded barrels for suppressors. We may not be living in THE Golden Age of firearms but it's certainly A Golden Age,my friends & neighbors.
I have a Rossi pump gallery gun, it's a lot of fun, but I must say, that .22 mag version may have to be the newest member of my growing Henry collection. ( LOL, that would make three). Love the channel guys.
Put a skinner (aperture) site on it, or a tang site; you'll be able to shoot the spots out of playing cards at that range. That 20" heavy octagon barrel is extremely stiff (naturally low harmonic flex), and it gets the full use of the powder for max power and spin, plus it's basically a bolt action and seats the round consistently every time. Put a good scope or skinner/tang site on and it will drive tacks.
I'm glad Henry is remaking some cool older model guns. They must be popular with folks because the one I ordered, I decided to get the 22 mag for a little more zip, but it is currently on back order. I like Henry Firearms because they are well made guns, made in America and still use walnut wood for their stocks. Thanks for the informative video.
Great video! I have been wondering how good the Henry .22 pump was. Nice gun. I have an original Winchester Model 62 .22 pump that my Grandmother bought back in 1936. I've had it since about 1972. I've shot hundreds of thousands of rounds through that sweetheart and bagged many rabbits. It feeds just about anything through it with no problem. And with it you can hold back the trigger and pump as fast as you can and it fires without a glitch! As much as I love that old Winchester, I don't want to completely wear it out so I've thought about getting a replacement. Rossi builds a copy of the Winchester, which like the original, is a top eject. Which is fine if you don't want to add any optics. I do like the Henry because it does give you the option of adding a scope. On another note (sort of), I bought an Uberti copy of the 1884 Colt Lightning rifle in .45 Long Colt, and as much as I love the old Winchester Lever rifles (that "Won The West") that pump action .45LC is AWESOME! It would be really cool to see a side by side comparison of the Uberti 1884 Colt Lightning pump action and a Uberti 1873 Winchester lever action both in the same calibers.
Really like the idea of one of these in .22 Magnum. I have a Remington Model 12A .22 LR pump, those old gallery guns are something to really enjoy. In the right hands you can really put some rounds out, and in .22 Magnum, they can do some work on a fox or raccoon.
Here in germany we got Ostereier Schiessen which means easter egg shooting. You get an air rifle to shoot at targets. The better you shoot, the more eggs you get. Some also have the option of using 22 bolt actios instead of air rifles. Its pretty expensive tho to shoot like 3 rounds of 22. Thats because any ammo is expensive here.
This brings back some nostalgia for me I had a gallery rifle my grandpa gave to me back in 80s but i traded it for a bike when I was 12 sometimes I want to kick myself for doing that I'm definitely gonna look into getting one of these for my son.
+CJ Ferrel Henry focuses on making very nice lever guns. The pump, also being a historic call back has appeal to their demographic of collector. They are not going to be able to compete with budget semi-autos - Ruger and others already have that market covered. Oh, and you only have a limited window for $450 AR15s. They are massively overproduced right now, but soon those start ups companies are going to collapse and only the big names will continue and prices will return to normality.
Beautiful little rifle. I just bought a new one 2 days ago at a gun show. I certainly can't shoot as well as you do though. I'm very impressed with the quality of a Henry. Great video. Thanks.
I bought one of these a few years ago. The pump action is stiffer than many other pump 22's like Remington Fieldmasters but it's accurate. Not a light rifle with that thick octagonal barrel. Put a 4x32 Bushnell Rimfire scope on it. Took a few squirrels with it. Fun rifle.
I like my Winchester 1890 LR, it was my Grandfather's. Beautiful curly walnut stock, metal is in very good condition for it's age. Shoots great as long as you have good eyes.
I've got an old Remington 550-1 that I inherited from my grandfather. It's a 22 s,l,LR like the rifle in this video except its semi-auto. Great little rifle that will shoot just about anything. I would love you guys to do a video on it!
This was a production rifle, though I don’t know who produced it. When I was a boy, a friend loaned one to me when we went squirrel hunting. I remember it as a fun rifle to use and plenty accurate for hunting. This was back in the late 50s/early 60’s.
On the topic of pump-action rifles, any chance of getting a Remington 7615 to review? A pump 5.56 rifle, using all of the AR style magazines, and with the ergonomics of the 870 makes for a great 50 State legal rifle. And for the foreign viewers, it's UK and Australia friendly too.
love all the videos, I have been holding back and not saying anything in all the passed videos but Eric, IT'S PRONOUNCED ..................AGG-U-LAA ......(AGUILA). Tom Gresham on Gun Talk has an employee from Aguila ammo on every once in a while and she says EVERYTIME that it is pronounced (AGG-U-LAA). Not Ageela. keep the videos coming love the channel thanks for all the time you and chad put in!
It reminders me of rifle my Dad used to own; a Winchester Model 62 - I borrowed it many times for squirrel hunting (did pretty well with it too!). Sadly neither the rifle nor my Dad is around any more :(
Aguila Super Colibri Ammunition has no powder, relying on only the primer to propel the bullet down the bore. The result is an extremely quiet rimfire round, perfect for close-range pest control or quiet plinking. WARNING: These rounds are powered by the rimfire primer only. They must only be fired in handguns. If fired in rifles, the bullet may remain lodged in the barrel. Will not cycle the slide of semi-automatic handguns Aguila packages these as Long Rifle ammunition, but they are in fact slightly shorter than a 22 Long cartridge
The Bumper Jack in my old Ford is slicker than the Henry pump action on the several I tried. If they'd made it as slick to operate as their lever guns I might buy one. Till then I'll stick with my little Rossi model 62's, great little rifles. Thanks for the video.
This and a Taylor's Stallion will be rounding out my retro .22lr outfit. Find myself deer hunting less and less and squirrel/rabbit hunting more and more. The Henry pump should serve me well on squirrels and the Stallion will accompany me when I check my line of rabbit gums.
I like seeing this mini review. I have wanted one of these pump action Henry 22lrs since I first saw one close to 10 years ago. I had a Henry lever .22lr and traded it, terrible mistake.
Hey Iraqveteran8888, I'm sure you have a load of video ideas in the pipeline but I would LOVE to see you do the British Brengun! I don't think you've done the Bren before?
The ammo shortage is over, good times. Prices are coming down but not to pre-shortage levels. Colibres are fine for revolvers but I've had squibs with them in rifles. The Super Colibre has more energy, they've worked more consistently for me. That said, I prefer CCI Quiets, they've worked well in a 28" rifle I have. It's a nice little rifle at a good price point, the Zamac side plates are a deal breaker for me though. I bit the bullet and got a few Winchesters, no excuses there.
@@Kman-hw9pf I understand that only the Super Colibres are now being sold due to the squib issues with Colibres. I have a couple boxes of Colibres left but only use them in revolvers. With CCI Quiets being around I don't shoot the Super Colibres anymore. I just heard about CCI Quiet Automatic ammo, 800 something fps with a 45gr bullet, of course these days good luck finding them.
