Taylors & Company 1860 Henry .45 Colt Lever Action Brown - 288
Taylors & Company
The Taylors & Company 1860 Henry .44-40 Win lever action rifle brings authentic Old West character to your firearms collection or hunting camp. Built on the legacy of B.T. Henry's 1860 patent—the first repeating rifle to use metallic cartridges—this reproduction delivers the ergonomics and quick-succession firepower that made the original a battlefield game-changer. Chambered in .44-40 Winchester, the Henry is equally at home on the range, in the field hunting medium game, or in the hands of a lever-action enthusiast who appreciates historical design married to practical performance. The walnut stock and forged brass frame with classic blue barrel give it the look of a rifle that belongs in both a Western saddle scabbard and a serious shooting collection.
What sets this Henry apart is its straightforward reliability and capacity. The 13-round magazine tube runs beneath the barrel—a design that lets you load multiple rounds in seconds without breaking your sight picture or grip. The 24-1/4-inch octagonal barrel is tapered for a balanced, trim profile, while the overall length of 43 3/4 inches keeps the rifle manageable in brush or from horseback. At 9 pounds, it's light enough for all-day carry but substantial enough to shoot comfortably and accurately.
The sights are period-correct: a rear ladder sight and front blade that let you dial in for distance and adjust on the fly. If you're drawn to lever actions for hunting, sport shooting, or just the mechanical satisfaction of a fast-cycling action, the Henry in .44-40 is a time-tested platform that rewards good trigger control and smooth technique.
