Recon_Ninja_985 contemplated one once...saw one up close and felt a lil iffy about it. then I did some research. picky with ammo and the barrel and sights are accurate out to maybe 50 yards. the steel barrel is thin and surrounded with polymer or fiberglass mix of some sort and it can warp. its part of the ultra light plastic / aluminum design I would consider spending just a little bit extra on one of the other take down rifles available. if you were to get one, replacing the barrel with a solid steel one and feeding it nothing but high velocity ammo should be a priority... but you might as well buy two of them at that point a .22 revolver can get you about the same if not better accuracy and is at least 3 times more portable. after weighing out the benefits and after a lot of research I opted for a used H&R 929 instead. theres also the marlin papoose takedown rifle. another thing you have to worry about takedown rifles though is the threads... you can't really replace those and they are going to gradually wear, especially if it's aluminum It might vary by manufacturer. I got one of the ones made by Charter Arms rather than Henry. I've used several brands of ammunition and it has never jammed on me.
The barrel that came with it was solid metal rather than the polymer with a steel insert you mentioned. There are several different barrels you can get here. Part #70 was the one that came with the one we got and there's not a touch of polymer anywhere in that barrel.
As for accuracy I can't remember how accurate the rifle is since it's been years since I used the rifle and back then I was very inexperienced with guns but I've heard other owners say it's pretty good at accuracy.

I doubt that. Just a few days ago when he ordered the parts online he first discovered the plastic barrel. He said he never saw anything like it before.
