Picked up my new 357 Steel Carbine.
Added a Brass Stacker ROL sling with Bandolier.
It also has a Maxpedition shoulder pad on the sling. The pad is held on with Velcro straps. It's nice if you plan on carrying a rifle for several hours as it pads the shoulder quite well. If not, it can be removed in ~10 seconds. I have a couple of them and move them from rifle to rifle as needed.
I also have a D4 lever wrap on order that should arrive later this week.
The only issue with the Henry was that the diamond insert in the sight was stamped and painted off-center, which is not uncommon on Henrys. I blacked it out, reversed the insert and by using a NightSiters "bar" piece cut to size, added my own rear mark. A couple layers of clear no-gloss nail polish made sure it will stay put. I do want to swap out the sights for some Skinners, Ranger Point or Marble sights at some point. Most of my other lever guns have peep or ghost sights installed.
And in the dark it can do this.
This is the Henry's sister. . . My 1992 (JM) Marlin 1894C (357)
And his BIG brother. . . 1995 (JM) Marlin 444
