[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2221511, member: 24446"] Unfortunately, and sickeningly, I think the new Winnies are made in Japan which is why I'll never buy new. Mine was inherited and made in the early 70's. Not as cool as the pre '64 obviously but since there were no pre '64 .44mags, second best IMO. If you keep an eye out you should be able to find an American 94 and it's absolutely worth the extra effort since you get an American rifle and one that will hold it's value much better. I was told by several people, on and off the internet, that the Henry brass receiver wasn't strong enough for "Ruger Only" .45LC loads so I emailed Henry Rifles themselves and asked. They said their Big Boy rifles were designed to handle any factory loads including those like Buffalo Bore so everyone is wrong...go figure. I recently bought a Ruger Blackhawk .45LC/.45acp convertible so I had the ability to carry hot .45 Colt ammo in a six shooter along with my Henry rifle (I have this dream of someday living out in the country again where I can strap my six gun on, put my Henry in the saddle scabbard and go ride the ranch hunting for trespassers and cattle rustlers...I'm a bit of a romantic *sigh*). Anywho...I love my New Vaquero Bisley but out in the woods I prefer to have a little more power so until I find an "old" Vaquero in .45LC, my Blackhawk gets the job. I know there are some who like Taurus but I don't. I wouldn't own one if it were free but that's just me. I do agree the revolving carbine is kind of neat but until Ruger or S&W or similar make one I'll just stick to my beloved lever guns. [/QUOTE]
