Henry Big Boy Brass Side Gate Carbine 44 Magnum / 44 Special 16.5" 7-Round Rifle

If the thought of carrying a full-length rifle up a mountain or through the brush is weighing you down, take a load off with the Big Boy Brass Side Gate Carbine, a modern interpretation of the trapper classics of the past. This compact package combines all the features of Henry's® legendary Big Boy Rifle with the quick handling characteristics of a shorter, carbine length barrel.

It's the ideal brush gun for tight spaces, but don’t let its compact 16.5" blued steel octagonal barrel fool you. The shorter barrel gives up nothing in accuracy to the standard rifle, and the factory-installed large loop lever aids in rapid lever manipulation, even when wearing gloves.

This carbine model sports a side loading gate, allowing you to top off the seven-round tube magazine without dropping the rifle from your shoulder. The folks at Henry retained the traditional magazine tube, allowing for safe and easy unloading. With both loading options at your disposal, you’ll always have your rifle at the ready.

True to Henry form, the rifle is constructed with exquisite attention to detail, using fine American-made components. Both the straight-grip stock and forearm are crafted of select American walnut accented with a polished brass barrel band and Henry's signature hardened brass receiver. Plus you get the smooth action and crisp trigger that distinguishes an authentic, American-made Henry.
