The Henry Big Boy Side Gate .45 Colt (H006GC) offers the best of both worlds: the classic look of a traditional Western lever-action and the practicality of a modern side loading gate. Chambered in .45 Colt, also known as .45 Long Colt, this rifle is ideal for cowboy action shooting, hunting, or range use.
At the heart of this rifle is a polished hardened brass receiver that not only enhances durability but also delivers a timeless, high-gloss finish. The 20″ octagon barrel, finished in deep blued steel, adds stability and balance while maintaining a nostalgic look. It holds 10 rounds in the tubular magazine, and thanks to the side loading gate, you can top off your magazine without removing the inner tube.
This rifle includes a brass bead front sight and fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, while the American walnut stock and forearm provide a solid and elegant grip. The brass buttplate and barrel band complete the traditional Henry look, making it as much a display piece as it is a working firearm.
