I don’t have a channel yet , but that could could change. First I would State that the finish is case colored and sealed for durability . A true case hardened finish is done by heating and cannot be applied to alloy. The metal is a quite durable alloy and the term pot metal is outdated . Modern alloys used in this rifle as well as the Henry, are a variant of a quite strong alloy known as Zamac2. A recent test of the Henry Golden Boy, inGuns of the Old West, showed no appreciable wear of the alloy parts after 20,000 rounds. The only part to break was a steel screw. This rifle is a copy of the Marlin 39, outwardly. It uses a modular firing group unlike the Marlin. It is capable of firing shorts, longs and long rifles. A trick for fastrrliading is to use a device that holds the22din rows of 15. You remove the mag tube , cover the loading port with a finger, dump all 15in and replace the tube. I regularly shoot , I regularly shoot lever action 22 rifles, I own this rifle, the marlin 39, I Henry Golden Boy, and aWinchester 9422. I also own several centerfire lever action rifle‘s. Winchester 73, 92, 94, and Marlins . I used to-shoot Cowboy Action, but now just plink. Anyone who doesn’t own a lever rifle doesn’t know what they are missing, especially a 22
I mounted a 3x9x40 scope with high rings, set to 10 yards gives me a 100 yards far zero. 3 out of 3 shots in a 2 inch circle at 100 yards. Very sweet little level action 22lr. I shoot 835 fps semi auto quiet round nose or else 1600 fps stingers hollow points.
I got one of these and it's the biggest piece of junk I've ever spent money on in my life. jams every single shot.....dealing with their customer service has been a horrible experience so far as well.
@@racknload I just picked one of these up but it looks like some fuckhead has dry fired it a bunch and has fucked up the feeding cone. Going to have to get her fixed.
Just went and got one of these myself. To add to my 22 collection of interesting old actions: a pump, rolling block, martini and an 1885 Low Wall. I don't take my 22's too seriously. They're just a bit of cheap plinking fun and a chance to play around with all sorts of actions.
I normally enjoy your reviews, but I don't understand reviewing a type of rifle you don't like. In future leave it to those that won't start the review in a negative manner, I stopped watching after that I couldn't see the point in continuing with it.
Dude, I've fallen in love with lever guns now. Check out the new Chiappa Alaskan and Wildlands videos I've done, I raved about them plus the new Ruger Marlin.....👍🍻
I am planning on buying one of these in the next few weeks. I've looked at the Henry. And didn't like it that much, too short for my likes. and too pricey.
did you buy it? I bought one and it's a piece of shit! Jams every single shot with both brands of ammo I have tried. Dealing with the customer service is a nightmare as well! Should have spent $300 more and got a browning!
@@dennisgraham3087 yeah you are lucky you dodged that one. I'm trying to put in a warranty claim on mine...can't select the right country on their warranty form and then when I try to submit it I get an error. Call their customer service line, it hangs up on me immediately when I press "1" to speak to someone. Tried 10 times, finally got it to ring, disconnected after 2 minutes on hold. Tried another 5 times, finally spoke to a human. I plan on buying a browning tomorrow and if this thing ever gets warrantied I'll sell it.
WOW. What a drag. I'm sorry you've had to go through all that. I'm still thinking about it. The lack of funds is my main draw back. So I will wait and see what I can afford later in the year.
Dude, what's your opinion on what .22 should be bought for VALUE and QUALITY? It sounds like there are better options out there in the same price range of the LA322...
It’s an odd type of takedown that doesn’t really make it all that portable. Usually takedowns the barrel rotates to disassemble. Nice review…I’ve seen what I needed to see to make a hard pass on this one. I’d never want a rifle where the receiver can literally wobble in my hands.
I foud out if you tighten it too much too it binds up. I had put it hand tight and it shoots and works perfect. Clean it of any oil i meant. I run all my guns dry and never have any problems.
Hi Rack,great video, as a confirmed Air Gunner i see that rifle as very crudely made,as you said made of Monkey Metal, quite honestly i dont think you would see that standard of workmanship in the cheapest of Air Rifles. ATB
I own the standard black color chiappa la322. Either shooting pests and rodents or target shooting , it is a very fun little lever rifle

Its 10 yards close zero 100 yards far zero with open sights. 25 yards with high rings is also a 100 yards zero.

Good to see a fellow Brit enjoying guns. You in the US or still in the UK? I moved to the States about 5 years back and have been loving the hobby.
Still in the UK buddy..

Whoever thumbed down this video should go bake a fruitcake
why is ed harris shooting a 22
Chiappa product are hit or miss. Some of their stuff is very good while other stuff is crap. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST!
When you said you didn’t like lever actions I went to a different channel.
Rude.

With a scope at 100 yards im getting 2 inch groups. Not too accurate but it does the job.
Awesome vidd!
Was the word you were looking for "wobble" by chance?
My chiappa is having trouble with discharge.. any ideas why.
so is mine...from the very first shot fired. It's a piece of shit is why.

Out of all my guns, this one always needs oil as it binds up pretty easy. Ever have that problem?
Clean it. Oil makes more of a mess and faster too
@@dalanwanbdiska6542 it’s always clean. Scrubbed w a toothbrush. It’s no Henry. It is what it is
