The Cimarron 1860 Henry CA236 .45 LC lever action rifle brings authentic Old West character to the modern shooter. This steel frame Henry rifle is a faithful reproduction of one of history's rarest firearms—the iron-framed variant of the original Henry repeater, of which only about 167 examples are known to survive. Cimarron's version captures the same rugged elegance that made the Henry legendary, with a 24-inch octagon barrel, case-hardened steel frame, and the smooth, reliable lever action that made these rifles icons of the frontier.
Built for shooters who want both historical authenticity and practical performance, the CA236 pairs traditional aesthetics with genuine shootability. The case-hardened finish on the frame, hammer, trigger, and lever creates that distinctive color-mottled appearance that draws the eye, while the walnut stock and blued butt plate deliver clean, timeless lines. At 9.05 lbs, it balances enough heft for a steady sight picture without fatigue during long days afield or on the range. Whether you're drawn to cowboy action shooting, historical reenactment, or simply appreciate rifles that look and handle like they belong in another era, the Cimarron Henry delivers straight-shooting dependability and unmistakable character.
The .45 LC chambering is a natural fit for this rifle—a pistol cartridge that's been prized since the days of the Colt Peacemaker, readily available, and perfectly adequate for hunting medium game and target work. With a 12-round tubular magazine, you've got the firepower these guns were designed for without excess weight. Cimarron's reputation for quality control and historically accurate reproductions means you're getting a rifle that's both a conversation piece and a genuine shooter.

The original Henry repeaters came mostly with brass frames, but about 400 iron-framed examples were produced in 1862—making them extremely rare. Cimarron's steel frame model recreates that scarce variant. While the brass frame is the more commonly seen design, the steel frame offers similar performance with a distinctly different aesthetic; the case-hardened steel finish creates a unique color palette that many collectors and shooters find more elegant.
The .45 LC is suitable for hunting medium-sized game and is a practical cartridge for target shooting and sport hunting. It's been a trusted hunting round since the late 1800s and remains widely available. For your specific hunting situation, consider the range, game size, and your local regulations.
