Thanks, DD. Nothing to add to that!

Oh, except maybe that it was a very common rifling type for single and double express rifles turned out by most makers in the late 1800s.

...and that soft lead bullets don't work well in Henry rifling as a rule, however paper-patched, very hard lead, or thin-jacketed bullets can be stupidly accurate.
