This is the last part of the Henry rifle series searching answers for why the 1860 Henry rifle was not universally adopted in the Civil War. Some of these questions are already answered in the previous chapters of course. The second task of this film is to tell a few words about how to properly handle the Henry rifle. Enjoy!

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
