Ballistic Therapy: Henry Lever Action Octagon Frontier and a bit extra.

Henry Lever Action Octagon Frontier in .22LR with a Vortex Crossfire II scope and a Hailey Ordnance can. The ammo was Wolf subsonic which performed without an issue. The rifle belongs to Oleg Volk, and it was the first thing I ever shot at his place the day I met him.

Shot from that bench and sandbag, I was getting very consistent shots at that steel pepper popper set about 100 yards away. And of course, no ear protection was needed which makes it a proper gun for back porch conversations.

I sent the above video to my BiL who is a fan of Henry guns, and he immediately texted back “is it for sale?” And believe you me, it is a combo worth having. I had to disappoint him and said it was not, but he now has a standing invite to come over Oleg’s and give it a session.

I talk myself out of getting a silence because they are expensive items and all the NFA crap that comes with them, but this gun makes me doubt the strength of my convictions. I could be tempted to get a bolt action .22LR with a threaded barrel, scope it and get a silencer for it.

And if you are thinking about the threading on the octagon barrel, I keep forgetting to ask Oleg about it as Henry’s site does not show they come ready for silencers. I am wildly guessing it was done post purchase, but do not quote me on that.
