Up close it looks like this  Why is the lever on the other gun in the picture so much lower? Best, Ted

I can’t be the only one who noticed this:  Look at the opening lever on the blued, or black gun- it is projected out of the frame. Not by a small amount, either. Best, Ted Pretty sure it was a pre-production gun used for photos. I did notice it myself, Ted. Looks fine in Brentd's photo of his gun. JR

Ted, it is still pretty high in this picture, but in the other, look at the top tang - it is white. I think the first picture was clipped and then mounted in front of the white background. When they did it, the clipping operation took a little too much.
Just speculation. It is still too high in this picture, in my opinion. Brush and grass will get caught under it.

john roberts - not my gun. I don't own a Henry. I just went surfing for another picture because I thought the first one was a little suspect and probably a digital error.

Seriously John R'a thats a kOol single shot...I'm thinking about getting me two of them.
I figure I could get me a couple rad'e ator clamps and clamp them together and have me a double trouble turkey shoot'n machine.
During the off season when I wasn't stuntman turkey hunt'n I could use them to stake out my pole beans...
What say you.

I say yOu can glue two of your best box calls together, tie a string to the lids so you can work ‘em at the same time and make an old savvy gobbler think he’s got two hens instead of just one. Should be a neat stunt. But you might ought to start practicing soon. And you can shoot ‘em with your cobbled up two-row. Should make for a great stunt-hunt.

I only have two box calls and they are both "best"....the one I made in 1995 has sat in on about 75 kills...the other one I made in 2007 has sat in on over 100 kills...
I ran into this dumb azz lawyer (from Georgia of all places) after seeing all the notches on the chalk box tell me he didn't believe I'd killed all them turkeys with those two boxes.
My reply was....Let me ask you something don't you think that if I was going to lie the 1995 box would have alot more notches than the 2007 box. I don't use a box on every turkey I call to or kill..if they are part of the kill they get a notch. It's a family tradition my uncle started back in the 1950s.
Reading the rest of your reply it's easy to see how you drank the TSS kOol aid.
I don't hunt for stunt...
I shoot a 12ga. a man's gun loaded with a manly sized shot...I don't hide in blinds behind a dA'coy spread and I have no need to practice calling.
And I drink Whiskey not kOol Aid...

Ted, I saw the gap in the top-lever, but I think it's just the angle of the photoshot of the two versions of the gun. What I object to is the top-lever itself as opposed to a thumb latch..Geo
