Henry H006GC Side Gate .45 Colt Lever Action 20" Octagon Barrel

The Henry H006GC Side Gate transforms the traditional lever-action experience with modern loading convenience while maintaining classic American craftsmanship. This .45 Colt rifle combines Henry's renowned reliability with the practical advantage of side-gate loading, eliminating the need to work cartridges through the magazine tube.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional Henry rifles that load through the magazine tube, the H006GC features a spring-loaded side gate that allows individual cartridge loading and unloading without cycling the action. The octagonal barrel profile provides enhanced rigidity compared to round barrels, contributing to improved accuracy potential. The polished brass receiver showcases traditional American styling while the blued finish on the barrel offers superior corrosion resistance.

The .45 Colt chambering delivers substantial stopping power for hunting medium game or ranch work, with the 20-inch barrel providing optimal velocity for this historic cartridge. The adjustable sights allow for precise shot placement at various distances, while the octagonal barrel's increased surface area aids in heat dissipation during extended shooting sessions. Weather-resistant finishes protect the rifle in field conditions.
