Prices on Ruger/Marlin leverguns

Opinions differ because pot mental receiver with a fake painted facade is wrong to me. Compare the H001 to my 1951 39A Peanut. No, they do not compare nor are they on the same planet.

Except for what was mentioned above. I have asked many times online but have yet to find someone who's put 10K full power rounds through a Henry to see if they hold together. It doesn't happen because Henrys are built to look good first priority. That's not negative to some and is to others. They're made for people that use Trail Boss.
$20,000 worth of ammo through a $800 rifle? Somewhere in there a new rifle would not be a financial burden.

The one I have is very high condition. Has not had sling swivel studs installed, and the saddle ring is intact. It does have a Williams receiver sight on it but the factory rear sight is there, too. I'm still undecided about selling it. I don't shoot it much, but if I sell it I'll probably never have another...
Keep it. If you do sell it, ask a lot just in case someone wants it that bad. $750 is an insult. Despite some throwing numbers around, no one has shown evidence of a recent sale of a nice, real Marlin 1894 for $750.

You missed more than one of my points but we got yours twice. Anyone that would use a rifle enough to shoot 10K rounds would reload and it would not cost anywhere near $20K in ammo ... and most of their wall hangers are more than $800 anyway. I never once mentioned the financial efficiency, I am boldly saying a Henry likely can't take it.

Not really the data points you are looking for, but I just sold my two "Remlin" 45-70's at local Texas guns shows, one for $725, and one for $780.
Plan is to put the money back into a new Ruger Marlin.
I sold THIS RIFLE to the Dury's guy for $725. Not one like it, but this exact rifle. I am watching this auction with interest.

I bought it at my local gun shop here in western n.c. Several years ago. I just checked on Henry's website and see that it retails for $439 now. I was quite surprised when it was offered for 250 so I jumped on it.
The youth models are really handy sized. But if buying used be aware there are different front sights. The early ones had an integrated sight barrel band arrangement. (Mine 😢)

The new youth rifles have a different separate sight and dovetail magazine tube hanger

It becomes an issue if you go with a skinner peep you will need a taller sight.

I added a piece of brazing rod to mine. But someday I want to add dovetails and do a proper replacement.

Essentially I built a lighter Small Game carbine out of a youth rifle. 4.5lbs.

The actual Small Game carbine is 5.75lbs

I wish they made the youth in .22 mag
