Invented in the 1850's by benjamin tyler henry, this lever action rifle's rapid fire capability and high-capacity tubular magazine stood in amazing contrast to its single-shot musket counterpart.The original henry rifle is identical to its history-making forerunner with the exception of caliber.Henry replaced the obsolete.44 rimfire cartridge, exchanging it for the.44-40 caliber.Every other facet remains true to its inventor, and each gun's serial number begins with the initials bth in his honor.The original henry rifle has a grooved receiver for easy scope mounting.The polished brass has the same tensile and yield strength as steel.The original henry rifle also features a one piece, 24.5" inch octagon barrel/tubular feed; a genuine american fancy walnut stock with a hardened brass buttplate, and a classic folding ladder rear sight paired with a traditional blade front sight.All henry repeating arms products and parts are manufactured in the u.Sa.
