Winchester Collector - Forum: The Winchester Collector Magazine. https://winchestercollector.org/forum/the-winchester-collector-magazine/ Simple:Press Version 6.11.14 Anthony #5411 on Fall 2026 Magazine. https://winchestercollector.org/forum/the-winchester-collector-magazine/fall-2026-magazine/#p186652 The Winchester Collector Magazine. https://winchestercollector.org/forum/the-winchester-collector-magazine/fall-2026-magazine/#p186652 I am intrigued with this Henry Rifle that Tim Tomlinson so kindly shared with us, in a picture on the cover of this fall's Collector Magazine.

Tim,

I did not realize, that fact that the side plates, (which we are aware of the fact that they are thinner), could be a different color in the appearance of the Bronze/Brass look! 

Any facts or information that you would be willing to add would surely be like and appreciated by me, as I'm sure by others also! 

Thanks for showing us that fine Henry!

Tony

From member Tim Tomlinson's amazing Henry on the Cover, a great choice, to Bert's great article on the M-55!

A lot to learn as I read on.

Bert's article on the model 55 made me think about the really nice one I missed out on a few years ago.

Great Job, Pete! Smile

For me, being an old school guy as many members are here on the WACA Forum, I have to say that I enjoy the paper copy in my hand, much more than the electronic version online, but the EV, is a nice feature also for the members!

Thanks for the kind words.  My friend Dan Shuey had Dow noted at one time as traffic operations and an office manager.  The ledger is full of miscellaneous Winchester information, sorted alphabetically.  There are quite a few item dimensions and weights listed.  Definitely could be a mistake in his ledger.  It looks like it is listed as 1-14" in a 1930 Winchester rifle bore measurements table.

Hi Guys
I'm glad to read that you like the magazines.  The Fall issue was just mailed with the calendar this week.  We like to have the online version available for members ahead of time.  Thanks!
  

Yes, kudos all round, Brad.  The magazine is the heart of the Association.  You do a great job.

By the way, I found an error in the H.B. Dow ledger on the last page of that article.  It listed the .22 WRF as having a 1:20 rate of twist.  

That didn't seem right, so I ran a patch through my Model 1890 and checked the distance for one complete rotation.  It was 1:14.

Next, I pulled a bullet and ran it through the Greenhill formula.  The .22 WRF shoots a 45-grain bullet that's 0.487" long.  Mine clock out at 1,401 f.p.s.   According to George, it needs a 1:15 twist to be stabilized.

Interesting, eh?

Pete
