Iron frames were the pride of the early Henry Rifle, and Henry Repeating Arms has revived the style. This Original Iron Frame model is chambered in .44-40 Winchester.

The Original Henry is a replica of the early Henry rifle, with a straight iron frame instead of brass. It is a heavier and darker version of the classic. Fans of the Civil War period and of cowboy action will recognize it.

Shooting a rifle like this is a living history lesson. The loading method differs from later levers, and the magazine tube design is distinct. Cowboy action competitors who shoot .44-40 can use it with a matching revolver and keep the ammunition simple.

The price is high, which fits the quality and the detail. It is a rifle for collectors, matches and wall space. The finish and fit in a Henry typically earn praise from owners. Take a few minutes at the dealer counter to handle it, work the action and check how it fits your shoulder or hand before you leave.

The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
