SPECTACULAR MINIATURE IRON FRAME HENRY RIFLE.

SPECTACULAR MINIATURE IRON FRAME HENRY RIFLE. .22 cal. rifled & no serial number. One of only four of these tiny rifles built by Michael J. Barrett of Forest Lake, MN. It is built precisely to 1/2 scale with a 12-1/2″ oct bbl, integral magazine, brass blade front sight, brass follower & carrier with a Henry style ladder rear sight in the bbl dovetail and, like the orig, a second dovetail toward the rear of the receiver. Lever is made without latch. Integral magazine tube & bbl were made from a sgl pc of bar stock, which when finished left a large opening on the bottom – too large for the followers. Mr. Barrett created a rolling wheel to form the lips of the tube to the correct opening. All of the miniature makers make the tube & bbl in two pcs and weld them together. It has a very highly figured tiger-striped rosewood stock with iron crescent buttplate with trap. Lower tang is stamped with Mr. Barrett’s initials. Bbl is rifled .22 cal and has firing pin but too short so not a functional firearm, otherwise the mechanics function exactly like the orig. Rear sight is purposely made cracked in the center to provide side spring. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Metal is bright showing a few minor handling marks. Wood is sound & retains a fine oil finish. A truly rare & very decorative item that would complement anyone’s Henry collection. 4-55132 JR357 (5,000-7,500)
