Henry Original Iron Frame Features
Building off of the desirability of the first brass-framed Original Henry Rifle, Henry reincarnated those rare iron-framed rifles, made entirely on US soil, just as B. T. Henry’s rifles were. The Iron-Framed Henry Original is true to Henry’s 1860 patterns and patents, and virtually identical aside from concessions necessary to adapt to the .44-40 centerfire rounds that replaced the long-obsolete rimfires. The H011IF uses a thoroughly modern steel receiver with a striking color case hardened finish and a matching period correct crescent buttplate. These are fitted with a one-piece blued steel octagonal barrel and magazine, fancy grade American Walnut stocks, a classic folding ladder rear sight and blade front, traditional half-cock safety hammer notch, and no modernized manual safeties. The barrel is a full 24.5 inches with a 13 round capacity.
The iron-framed 1860 Henry rifle was manufactured in less than 400 units, but this Iron-Framed Original (actually steel-framed) makes it possible to acquire your own example of this short-lived piece of history.
