This rapid fire and revolutionary rifle was used in the Civil War and the American Frontier and has been featured in numerous Western Movies. The tubular magazine under the 24" octagonal barrel held 15 x .44 caliber metal cartridges. It was said this rifle could "loaded on Sunday and fired all week." It features a working lever action, metal butt plate, wood stock, and comes in either a gun metal or brass frame finish. The original Henry rifle was a .44 caliber rimfire, lever-action, breech-loading rifle designed by Benjamin Tyler Henry in the late 1850s. The Henry rifle was an improved version of the earlier Volcanic Repeating rifle. The Henry rifle used copper (later brass) rimfire cartridges with a 216 grain (14 g) bullet over 25 grains (1.6 g) of gunpowder. Nine hundred were manufactured between summer and October 1862; by 1864, production had peaked at 290 per month. By the time production ended in 1866, approximately 14,000 units had been manufactured. For a Civil War soldier, owning a Henry rifle was a point of pride. Although it was never officially adopted for service by the Union Army, many soldiers purchased Henrys with their own funds. The brass framed rifles could fire at a rate of 28 rounds per minute when used correctly

1862 Henry Repeating Rifle
Putting up a wall of Military nostalgia rifles from Revolutionary War through Vietnam, including helmets, hand guns etc. This rifle, along with the Enfield & Sharp are my Civil War era. Loved the detail, looks & feels real & even takes an expert a minute to realize it's a replica.

Awesome replica
Was looking for a good replica at an good price of this rifle. I've bought Denix revolvers from this time period and have been kinda disappointed but, I thought I'd give this a shot given the price. I was greatly pleased with the over all quality of this piece. Fit and finish is a 7 but over all I am very happy with this replica.

Henry 1860
Unfortunately it suffers from the same problem as the real gun but worse. The pot metal mag tube came bent and the follower wouldn't slide from top to bottom and the spring was bound up in the tube. There's a long slot in the mag tube that the follower slides through and if it gets damaged it won't move. I fixed it with wedges and a hammer but be careful these are cheap metal.

Henry repeating lever action rifle
very pleased with this replica!.I have actually owned the real rifle years ago and this comes very close! My only objection is the wait I had to get the product! Evidently they don't carry a large inventory,but the wait was worth it!
