Henry H011IF Original Iron Frame .44-40 Lever Rifle
Authentic reproduction of the legendary 1860 Henry rifle in .44-40 caliber. Features a color case-hardened steel receiver, 24.5" blued octagonal barrel, fancy American walnut stock, and classic folding ladder sights. 13-round capacity.
A Piece of American Firearms History
The original 1860 Henry rifle represents one of the most iconic firearms in American history. Fewer than 400 iron-framed examples were ever manufactured, making them extraordinarily rare. Henry Repeating Arms has faithfully recreated this legendary rifle in the H011IF Original Iron Frame, allowing modern shooters and collectors to own a historically accurate example.
Design and Construction
This rifle adheres closely to Henry's original 1860 patterns and patents. The receiver is crafted from modern steel with a striking color case-hardened finish that evokes the appearance of period firearms. The one-piece octagonal barrel is blued steel, measuring 24.5 inches in length and fitted with a matching blued magazine tube.
Practical Features
Caliber and Capacity: Chambered in .44-40 Winchester—a centerfire cartridge that replaced the original rimfire ammunition while maintaining the rifle's authentic character.
Sights: Equipped with a classic folding ladder rear sight and a traditional blade front sight, allowing for precise aiming at various distances.
Safety: Features the traditional half-cock safety notch on the hammer—no modernized manual safety to detract from the rifle's historical authenticity.
Stock: The fancy-grade American walnut buttstock provides both comfort and aesthetic appeal, complemented by a period-correct crescent buttplate finished in case-hardened steel.
