Henry H012MR327 Big Boy Carbine Full Size 327 Federal Mag 7+1 16.50" Blued Steel Barrel, Blued Steel Receiver, American Walnut Wood Stock Right Hand
The Henry H012MR327 Big Boy Carbine is a lever-action rifle built for shooters who want a compact, handy firearm without sacrificing the classic appeal and reliability of Henry's time-tested design. Chambered in .327 Federal Magnum—a cartridge that bridges the gap between rimfire velocity and centerfire power—this 16.5-inch carbine delivers genuine versatility for small-game hunting, plinking, and recreational shooting. At 34 inches overall and weighing just 6.59 pounds, it's the kind of rifle that handles naturally in brush and tight spaces while remaining quick to shoulder and swing on moving targets.
The rifle's blued steel barrel and receiver wear a traditional finish that ages beautifully and resists corrosion when maintained. The American walnut stock with checkered pistol grip provides both control and classic aesthetics—you're holding a rifle that looks and feels purposeful. The semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight are time-honored aiming solutions that work fast and work reliably, with no batteries or electronics to fail. Seven rounds of .327 Federal Mag (or .32 H&R Mag, thanks to the chamber's versatility) load smoothly through the side gate, giving you enough firepower for most small-game and varmint work while keeping the gun's profile lean.
Lever-action rifles have proven themselves across generations of American hunting and shooting, and Henry's craftsmanship upholds that legacy. The H012MR327 is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who value handling speed, traditional ergonomics, and the straightforward reliability of a time-tested action. Whether you're working predators on your land, taking rabbits or squirrels, or simply enjoying an afternoon at the range, this carbine rewards good marksmanship and smooth lever work with dependable performance.
