Henry Repeating Arms recognises that the lever action world is a wide one, with all sorts of lever-gunners looking for all sorts of lever actions to fill all sorts of lever action needs and desires. They aim to accommodate all of those segments and if you happen to be a student of the Old West, or an admirer of the traditional looks (and nostalgia) of time-honored case hardened colors, they have got your corner covered with the Steel Color Cased models.
One of their most appealing steel frame finishes, the colours come from a genuine case-hardening process on frame and rifle-style fore-end cap that sets these rifles apart from our other blued models, without the bright “Here I am!” of the brass and silver rifles. In the woods, where they’re right at home, the deep bluing, dark walnut, and mottled case colors form their own basic camouflage that your Great Grandpa would have been very familiar with while hunting deer or elk, and he would have been quite appreciative to have this Henry along.
Merging old with new, the profile of the Colour Case Hardened rifles is conventional, and the .45/70 calibre is also long-established way back to 1873. While it may be considered ancient today, with this calibre the modern-day hunter can handle anything from coyote to grizzly, with the right load.
These rifles are built at the Henry Rice Lake, Wisconsin, factory (where all the steel models are produced), 100% American, in traditional form with octagonal barrels, adjustable buckhorn and bead sights, and checkered walnut furniture. The modern part comes from the quality steels used, the transfer bar safety, the Henry magazine tube loading, sling swivel studs, a drilled and tapped frame, and a ventilated rubber recoil pad. With this Colour Case Edition chambered in .47/50 you will be ready to carry on where Great Grandpa left off. This would be considered a deluxe model in his time, and if he were around today, you’d undoubtedly get an envious nod of approval.
