Henry Big Boy Side Gate Carbine .45 Colt H006GCR
Compact .45 Colt lever-action carbine with 16.5" octagonal barrel, side-loading gate, 7-round capacity, American walnut furniture, and polished brass receiver. Quick-handling brush gun with authentic western styling.
The Modern Trapper's Choice
The Henry Big Boy Side Gate Carbine represents a thoughtful evolution of classic lever-action design. This compact rifle combines the proven features of Henry's legendary Big Boy platform with the quick-handling characteristics that made traditional trapper carbines legendary in the field.
Practical Compact Design
At just 35 inches overall and weighing 7.76 pounds, this carbine handles like a dream in tight spaces—whether navigating brush, fitting a saddle scabbard, or simply carrying through rough terrain. The 16.5-inch blued octagonal barrel sheds nearly a pound compared to standard Big Boy rifles, yet sacrifices nothing in accuracy or reliability.
Smart Loading Innovation
The side-loading gate is a genuine game-changer. You can now top off the seven-round tubular magazine without dropping the rifle from your shoulder—a practical advantage when seconds count. The traditional magazine tube remains intact for safe, easy unloading when needed.
