Description
The Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine Side Gate is a compact, fast-handling lever action rifle built for shooters who want classic performance in a lighter, more maneuverable package. Chambered in .357 Magnum and also compatible with .38 Special, this carbine offers excellent versatility for everything from range shooting to practical field use.
With its 16.5-inch barrel, the Big Boy Steel Carbine is especially well-suited for tight brush, trail carry, and quick handling scenarios where a full-length rifle may feel cumbersome. The rifle features a durable blued finish and a traditional walnut stock, maintaining the timeless lever-gun look while delivering the rugged dependability Henry is known for.
The inclusion of a side loading gate adds traditional loading convenience, allowing shooters to top off the magazine smoothly without removing the inner tube. With a 7-round capacity, this carbine is a practical choice for shooters seeking a balanced combination of portability, power, and classic lever-action function.
