Back when the West was still wild, the lever action rifle cemented its position as the tool of choice for wilderness survival and frontier justice. Rugged, trim, and reliable, lever guns put more meat on the table and outlaws behind bars than any other firearm.

Though the West was tamed and fenced long ago, its spirit finds new life in the Henry Big Boy. Don’t let the vintage aesthetics fool you, these pistol-caliber lever guns are designed for the modern enthusiast.

In the past, they have taken design cues from the original 1860 Henry Repeater, opting to utilize a removable tube magazine. Now, the Big Boy’s polished brass receiver sports a side loading gate, allowing you to top off the tube magazine without dropping the rifle from your shoulder. They also retained the traditional magazine tube for safe and easy unloading. With both loading options at your disposal, you’ll always have your rifle at the ready.

True to Henry form, these rifles are constructed with exquisite attention to detail, using fine American-made components. Both the straight-grip stock and forearm are crafted of select American walnut accented with a polished brass barrel band and Henry’s signature polished hardened brass receiver. All have the smooth action and crisp trigger that distinguishes an authentic, American-made Henry.

For those looking to experience an undisputed piece of Americana, whether it’s at the range, in the field, or on a cowboy action stage, the Big Boy Brass Side Gate is guaranteed to bring out the West in you.
