Morning. I’ve been a voyeur on the site for awhile, this is my first post. I thought you’d like to know just got off the phone with Braztech and the customer service rep informed me they are NOT currently producing 16” R92’s. She did say that 20” are being produced and they are receiving shipments monthly in Florida. I must say I’m a bit disappointed. I’ve been on the hunt for a 16” in 357.
For quite awhile. I guess I need to focus on a 20” instead.

I wanted a 16" with big loop but wasn't willing to pay +$700 for a gun that is supposed to retail around $500. When Kentucky Gun Co. got 20" .357 in stock I jumped on one and it has scratched the itch for now. If 16" stainless or big loop M92s are ever available again, I might pick one up. My wish list now has shifted to a Win 9422 and either a S&W M19 or M66.

Rubber recoil pads on heavy pistol-caliber carbines.....John Browning is rolling in his grave.
Nothing with the Henry name on it came out of any of the J.M.B. designs. I don't think John Moses would be that impressed by the design of the current Henrys. And remember, his designs superseded and far outdid the original
Benjamin Taylor Henry designs. I'm not knocking Henry quality, it's just that Browning designed 92's and 94's at the very least are far handier than these big clunky Henrys being sold today.

I also do not like Henry rifles,they look like something from China although they are made here. Cheap looking.
