The first successful lever action repeater gets another go here. Cimarron's 1860 Henry replica is chambered in .44 WCF, also known as .44-40 Winchester, and carries a 24 inch barrel.

The Henry is a distinctive rifle. The magazine tube runs the length of the barrel and has no forend, so you grip the barrel sleeve and the tube. It has a brass frame in the classic style. Shooting one is a lesson in how people handled firearms in the 1860s.

.44 WCF is a good round for cowboy action matches. It is plentiful in cowboy loads and works well in revolvers of the same chambering. A rifle and revolver pair keeps your ammunition simple.

Take it to matches, use it for reenacting or put it on display. You will draw attention. Ask your dealer to look over the fit and function at pickup, and run a few boxes of ammunition through it before you rely on it in the field.

The listing is new, and the price is at the high end for a replica. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check takes place.
