In the days when the average soldier was expected to be able to fire up to three rounds per minute through his muzzle-loading Springfield rifle, a small unit armed with Henry rifles could provide the firepower of an entire company. That ground-breaking lever-action rifle design was the foundation for a uniquely American class of long guns that’s still with us today, over 155 years later.
Building off of the desirability of our first brass-framed Original Henry Rifle, we’ve reincarnated those rare iron-framed rifles, made entirely on US soil, just as B. T. Henry’s rifles were. Our Iron-Framed Henry Original is true to Henry’s 1860 patterns and patents and virtually identical, aside from the 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, a traditional half-cock safety hammer notch, and no modernized manual safeties. The barrel is a full 24.5 inches with a 13-round capacity. This is your chance to own, shoot, and display one of the most important rifles ever made in its rarest form.
