I have an old Iver Johnson (made by Erma in West Germany) lever action .22. This is the gun the Henry is patterned after. They are so much the same that I used new Henry stock and fore arm to replace the old varnished hardwood. It fit perfectly.

I've had this gun for about 20 years and it's seen thousands of rounds of cheap .22 ammo. Never a hiccup of any kind. It was obviously well used when I got it, so there is no telling how many rounds it's seen. It's also very accurate.

I bought my grandson a Henry youth model when he was 2 years old, he's five now and almost ready to start shooting (under close supervision of course). The only negatives about the new Henry is that the front sight and barrel bands are plastic. But Henry has metal replacements that are cheap enough.
