P.L.A. Henry Details
The 3D printing community has finally got around to releasing one of the ultimate classics. The 3D printed P.L.A. (printed using PLA filament) Henry classic lever action H001 receiver chambered in .22LR/L/S rifle has arrived.
The Henry is one of the favorites of gun owners around the country and often the first gun one receives as a young man growing up in the country (not exactly relatable being from Chicago but so I hear).

P.L.A. Henry Lever Action History
The Henry lever action is the ultimate classic.
First used across the American west and originally coming to market in the early 1860s the Henry is now getting its first 21st-century makeover.
The Henry was even used in the Civil war and in the famous battle of Little Big Horn.
While the original Henry can be seen in hundreds of Western movies, you can bet your hat that none of the cowboys saw a 3D space printer creating the next generation of lever action rifle classics.
P.L.A. Henry Lever Action Tech Specs
The P.L.A. Henry fits nearly all Henry parts kits outside of the Locust which this printed receiver is not built for.
This version will also require drilling out the holes to the final dimension for most of the pins, as well as some general fitting.
