Regarding a couple of Clint Eastwood movies where it's been suggested that an 1866 Yellowboy was mocked up to look like a Henry. NOT! How many out there are aware that there was, and actually is today a model known as the Transition Winchester. That's right, for those of you who love the features of both rifles, you can actually acquire such a rifle. Actually, it is more appropriately a Henry Transitional rifle, since the Winchester company wasn't officially Winchester until 1866. By the way I have since seen this rifle in the movie Silverado. If you look very closely, you will not see a screw hole between the barrel and the tube, where a keeper for the fore grip would have been fastened.
