Lovely rifles. I had it's stable mate except for the safeties. Mine also had the Paris address which I understand dated it to a narrow range. I never opened its case that I wasn't impressed, as with yours.
Mine was superbly accurate with 60 grs. of IMR-3031 and a 350 gr. hard cast bullet or, a jacketed bullet of the same weight.....which I rarely fired. It had Henry rifling. Said rifling and I never could come to an understanding when using black powder without paper patching bullets, something I am loathe to do. So, I sold it to a former employee. He has since successfully hunted with it over much of the continental US.
