Henry Repeating Arms initially built its centerfire reputation with the handgun-caliber Big Boy. It made sense to expand the steel-framed, case-hardened finish into that lineup. We now offer six hard-working lever actions that merge the classic look of beautifully done case colors and octagonal barrels with the practicality of a side loading gate and a lighter weight than the original brass models. Understanding that preferences vary, we provide a choice of calibers: .357 Mag/.38 Special, .44 Mag/.44 Special, and .45 Colt. Additionally, you can select either a standard 20" barrel and lever or a compact 16.5" barrel with a large-loop lever for cold-weather gloved use or simply for style. Both long and short models feature clean checkering on the fore-end and straight-wrist stock, adjustable buck and bead sights, an automatic in-hammer transfer bar safety, and our versatile side loading gate combined with a removable tube magazine configuration.
