Henry History

BenjAmin Tyler Henry, invenTor of THe Henry rifle.

in every field of human endeavor there is a select group of individuals who are given credit for making such major con- tributions that they become synonymous with their achieve- ments. in the area of firearms development, one name that must be included on that honored roster is Benjamin tyler Henry. His invention? the Henry rifle. it was Mr. Henry who conceived the first practical, lever-ac- tion, repeating rifle. Patented in 1860, the Henry gave a single man the firepower of a dozen marksmen armed with muzzle- loading muskets. america was engulfed in the searing flames of the Civil War, and the first Henry rifles were in the hands of union soldiers by mid 1862. due to its revolutionary design and rapid rate of fire, the Henry quickly found popularity both with the mili- tary and civilian purchasers. early sales were especially brisk in Kentucky, illinois, Missouri, and indiana.

With its reliable .44 caliber rimfire metallic cartridge, the Henry produced a rapid and highly accurate fire. reports of the successful use of Henry rifles in the Civil War were nu- merous. the incredible firepower unleashed by the Henry is evident in Major William ludlow’s account of the Battle of allatoona Pass. “What saved us that day was the fact that we had a number of Henry rifles” wrote Major ludlow. “this company of 16 shooters sprang to the parapet and poured out such a multiplied, rapid and deadly fire, that no men could stand in front of it and no serious effort was made thereafter to take the fort by assault.” after an encounter with the 7th illinois volunteer infantry (figure 2), which had the good fortune to be armed with Henrys, one Confederate officer is credited with the phrase “it’s a rifle that you could load on sunday and shoot all week long.” the Henry rifle would go on to play a significant, if not dominant, role in the frontier days of the american West. it would soon become one of the most legendary, respected, and sought-after rifles in the history of firearms. a contemporary rifle collection is not complete without one.

Henry Today

today, the Henry repeating arms Company® makes its home in Bayonne, new Jersey, and in rice lake, Wisconsin. from its inception, the company’s goal has been to manufacture a line of classic, well-crafted firearms that every enthusiast would find readily affordable. these american-made rifles are engi- neered with features that other gun makers often charge twice the price for. in fact, the company takes such great pride in manufacturing these rifles in the united states that the corpo- rate motto is “Made in America, or Not Made at All.”

The Henry rifles

the following material provides more in-depth discussions of each rifle along with the instructional information needed to safely operate a Henry.

Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

Classic lever-Action .22 rifle mAde in AmeriCA And PriCed riGHT

the Henry lever-action is a classic Western-style lever- action rifle and one of the most popular .22’s on the market today. the reason for its popularity is because it shoots great, looks great, and is remarkably affordable — about half the price of the competition’s rifles. the Henry lever-action rifle features an extremely attrac- tive american walnut stock, the quality of which can only be found on guns three times the price. the action is exception- ally smooth — so smooth, in fact, that many first-timers re- mark that they cannot believe the rifle has any internal parts. you simply have to get one into your own two hands and cycle the action a few times to see for yourself. the Henry lever Carbine .22 rifle features a large loop lever that is perfect for individuals with larger hands or when wear- ing gloves in cold weather. it has a compact overall length of 34” and a 16⅛” barrel.

the Henry lever-action also features side ejection, an adjust- able rear sight, a hooded front sight, and a grooved receiver for mounting a scope. the blued steel barrel is machined with state-of-the art multiple groove rifling. the result is a highly accurate shooter. the barrel length is 18¼”, overall length is 36¼” and it weighs in at a very comfortable 5¼ lbs. the easy-to-load tubular magazine can handle 15 rounds of .22 long rifle, 17 rounds of .22 long and as many as 21 rounds of .22 short, making it a viable alter- native to a semi-automatic .22. — and a lot more fun to shoot. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: You must become thor- oughly familiar with knowing how to place the hammer into the safety position with the trigger locked. You must practice this procedure several times with an unloaded rifle to become thor- oughly familiar with it. Do not attempt to operate this firearm unless you know how to place the hammer in the safety position.

PlACinG THe HAmmer in THe sAfeTy PosiTion

there are two ways to set the hammer into the safety position: 1. With the gun pointed in a safe direction and the ham-

mer in the fired (down) position, (figure 3a-3), cock the hammer back slightly, about 1/16” to 1/8”, until you feel and hear the hammer click into the safety position (figure 3a-2). the hammer will now be locked into the safety position and if you pull the trigger to fire, the hammer should not fall.

Figure 2: The Henry Lever Carbine .22 rifle features a large loop lever

assuming that you are now handling an unloaded firearm, make certain that the barrel, receiver, and chamber are free of any grease, oil, debris, or any other obstruction. WARNING: You cannot use .22LR cartridges in a .22 Magnum rifle and you cannot use .22 Magnum cartridges in a .22LR rifle. As well, .17HMR ammunition cannot be used in .22 Caliber rifles. to load the magazine tube, first place the hammer in the safety position. ImpoRtANt: Now, while holding the hammer back with your thumb, apply just enough pressure on the trigger to re- lease the hammer from the Full-Cock position (Figure 3A), and immediately and simultaneously remove your finger from the trigger. Slowly and carefully allow the hammer to lower into the Safety position. You are now ready to load. twist the inner magazine tube by disengaging the magazine button (figure 4) and pulling the tube out until the orange- colored follower (black for magnums and .17’s) is visible through and clears the loading port in the outer magazine tube. With the muzzle pointed upward, insert the rimmed end of the cartridges into the magazine (figure 5) and allow them to slide down toward the action. do not exceed the capacity of the magazine. next, push the inner magazine tube back down into position and lock it into place. Please be careful when pushing the inner magazine tube in, as it is under spring tension. the rifle is now ready for operation.

2. set the safety from the full-Cock position (figure 3a-1). firmly hold the hammer back with your thumb. While holding the hammer, apply just enough pressure on the trigger to release the hammer from the full-Cock posi- tion. remove your finger from the trigger very quickly, and slowly lower the hammer into the safety position.

the hammer will now be locked into the safety position and if you pull the trigger to fire, the hammer should not fall. the essential maneuver of setting the safety this way is to remove your finger very quickly from the trigger when dropping the hammer into the safety position. WARNING: When the chamber is loaded, never place the hammer in the Fired (down) position (Figure 3A). WARNING: the safety is designed to secure the hammer, holding it from contacting the firing pin. However, this mech- anism will not necessarily prevent the accidental discharge of this firearm as a result of jarring, abuse or mishandling.

Prior to loading your rifle, make certain that the rifle is not already loaded. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, swing the lever down and thoroughly inspect the magazine end, lifter, chamber and all internal areas of the receiver to ascertain that there are no cartridges present. then pull the lever back to close it. if a cartridge ejects, proceed with directions on how to unload the magazine tube and empty and clear the chamber. it is recommended that you always load a completely unloaded firearm and clear the firearm of any cartridges prior to loading. WARNING: Do not load the rifle with the action open.

the rifle chamber can now be loaded by swinging the lever down completely and pulling it back to the closed position. Important: the rifle is now set to fire. the hammer has been moved from the safety position, to the full-Cock position. always place the hammer back into the safety position until you are ready to fire. When ready to fire, take the hammer from the safety position by firmly gripping the hammer with your thumb and drawing the hammer back into full-Cock position. you are now ready to fire. take aim, making certain that you are firing in a safe environment and that neither you nor any other person is in danger. When on target, squeeze the trigger. to chamber the next round, swing the lever down completely and pull it back to the closed position. this process will eject the fired cartridge case from the chamber and transfer a new cartridge from the magazine to the chamber. Important: This leaves the hammer in a fully cocked, ready-to- f ire position. If you are not ready to f ire, put the hammer into the Safety position as previously instructed. When through firing, always place the hammer in the safety position. always unload your gun when you have finished shooting, making certain that the magazine and chamber are empty before putting your gun away.

.22 LoNG RIFLe

if you own a Henry lever action .22 long rifle, make certain that the ammuni- tion you are about to use is .22 rimfire caliber, .22 long rifle, .22 long or .22 short. the Henry lever action can hold 15 rounds of .22 long rifle, 17 rounds of .22 long or 21 rounds of .22 short. .22 mAGNUm if you own a Henry lever action .22 Magnum, make sure that the ammunition you are using is .22WMr. the capacity for the Henry lever action .22 Magnum is 11 rounds.

to unload the magazine and chamber, the hammer should be resting in the safe (down) position. With the rifle pointing up- ward, completely withdraw the inner magazine tube from the gun. tip the gun downward, allowing the cartridges to slide out into a suitable container. replace the inner magazine tube. open the action again, making sure there are no cartridges in the chamber or receiver.

adjust the rear sight to shoot higher or lower, as well as to adjust for windage (left and right). your rifle can be adjusted to shoot higher by moving the rear sight elevator (part 27) to- ward you by one or more notches. in order to shoot lower, the elevator should be moved away from you. to adjust your rifle for windage (left and right), you need to tap the rear sight to the left or right as desired. if you are shooting to the left, you need to move the rear sight to the right and vice versa. a minor adjustment will correct the point of impact. the base of the rear sight is dovetailed into a groove on the barrel. to make horizontal adjustments, the entire dovetailed base must be moved right or left in its slot on the barrel. to do this, carefully use a brass punch or nylon punch, slightly pointed but having a flat point appropriate in size to properly

engage the left or right end of the sight base where it slides in the groove on the barrel. gently tap the dowel with a light hammer and be very careful not to mar or damage the barrel or sight base. to help you determine how far you have moved the sight, right or left, a soft pencil can be used. the front edge of the rear sight base comes to a point where it rests on the barrel. at the point of the sight base, lightly make a small mark with the pencil and carry it straight down to make a small adjoining mark on the barrel. this will show you how far to the right or left you have moved the sight base. When your adjustments are completed, the marks can easily be wiped off with a lightly- oiled, soft cloth.

Make certain to clean your rifle after firing. Henry suggests that you purchase a current, name brand, top quality rifle cleaning kit. Make sure that the rifle is unloaded, and open the action. using a cleaning rod with a lightly oiled patch, run the rod from the muzzle end of the barrel down toward the breech area, cleaning the chamber. use a cleaning swab to remove all debris from the chamber as well as the face of the bolt and breach. it is important to make certain that there is no debris in the chamber or on the face of the bolt and breach. alternatively, you can purchase an otis Cleaning Kit, dewey Cleaning Kit, or Hoppes Boresnake and clean from the chamber end to the muzzle. the balance of the bolt assembly and action are maintenance-free.

Please note that it is not necessary to take your Henry lever- action apart to keep it clean. should you wish to take it apart, you must unscrew the receiver cover tang screw (part #50) and remove the butt-stock first. then unscrew the four receiver cover screws (part #42) and lift off the receiver cover, which will expose the internal parts. do not use aggressive solvents such as gun scrubber. Henry suggests that you use Birchwood Casey gun sheath or a mild solvent such as Hoppe’s no. 9, Kleenbore, or Breakfree and a premium quality gun oil.

mAinTenAnCe

1. Be sure that your gun is unloaded before attempting to clean.

2. the gun owner is responsible for periodic inspection and proper maintenance by a qualified gunsmith to ensure that this firearm remains in proper adjustment and that worn parts are re-placed.

3. CLeANING WARNING: remember that rust is neglect! Make sure all exposed metal surfaces are coated with a film of oil. after being subjected to damp weather, thoroughly wipe the bore and metal surfaces. then apply a new film of oil. if exposed to a soaking rain, snow, or salt spray, a more thorough cleaning and oiling may be necessary, requiring removal of the trigger guard and breech bolt assemblies by a gunsmith.

4. Between seasons, periodically apply a coat of oil to the bore and metal parts and store in a dry place. do not plug the barrel or store in a case made of fabric or material, which will absorb moisture or the lubricant from the gun.

5. Make certain to thoroughly clean your firearm when finished with firing. Henry suggests that you purchase a name brand, top quality .22 caliber rifle cleaning kit.

6. replacement parts are available through the Henry repeating arms Company Parts department. Please be sure to include the model number and serial number of your gun when ordering parts. those parts that are available should be installed by a licensed gunsmith. important: if you make unauthorized adjustments or use unauthorized parts, Henry repeating arms Company will not assume responsibility for the proper functioning of the rifle.

The Henry original rifle mAde in AmeriCA for THe firsT Time in 150 yeArs

The Henry Was Designed to be Straight and True and to Protect Your Family, Friends, and You. invented in the late 1850s by Benjamin tyler Henry, this revo- lutionary lever-action repeating rifle was the most important firearm of its time and went on to become the most legend- ary american firearm of all time. Patented in 1860, and first used during the Civil War, the rifle’s rapid fire capability and high-capacity tubular magazine stood in amazing contrast to its single-shot musket counterpart. it became known as the rifle you could “load on sunday and shoot all week long.” after the war, the Henry rifle headed west and went on to play a sig- nificant role in the homesteading of that great frontier. only 13,000 Henry rifles were manufactured in the 1860s. today, at auction they sell for as much as $250,000.

now, the original Henry rifle is back in all its american- made glory. the original Henry rifle is virtually identical to its history-making forerunner in all aspects. the only excep- tion is that it is a .44-40 caliber. the 1860 version was made in caliber .44 rimfire, also invented by Benjamin tyler Henry, but long an obsolete cartridge. every other facet remains true to its inventor, and each gun’s serial number begins with the initials BtH in his honor. Made with the same american pride and attention to detail as all Henry repeating arms rifles, the original Henry rifle features a hardened brass receiver with the same tensile and yield strength as steel and a one-piece, 24½” octagonal bar- rel/tubular feed. it also has a genuine american fancy walnut buttstock and a classic folding ladder rear sight paired with a traditional blade front sight.

Step 1. turn the lever locking latch to the release position. releasing the latch should allow the lever to go down approximately ½”. do not push the loading lever forward.

Step 2. first make sure the loading lever is fully forward. then, load the tubular magazine by pushing the brass magazine follower fully forward until the engagement indicator just below the muzzle rises approximately 1/16”.

Step 3. Place your hand on the sleeve with thumb grasping the brass follower. rotate the barrel sleeve back into the closed position, and with thumb, slowly allow follower to return downwards. do not allow the follower to slam down onto loaded cartridges, and do not place any part of your hand over the muzzle while loading.

Step 4. When you are ready to actually fire the firearm, the loading lever is pushed forward as far as it will go and is then pulled straight back. your finger should not touCH tHe trigger while manipulating the loading lever. the rifle will now be fully cocked and will fire when the trigger is pulled. if the lever does not go forward, release the loading lever latch by turning the small knob perpendicular to the rifle.

Step 5. after you have fired the first shot, the next cartridge is loaded by repeating step 4.

Step 1. With the firearm pointed in a safe direction, place your fingers through the rear portion of the loading lever. Be sure your first and second fingers are inside the lever loop. do not touCH tHe trigger! depressing or touching the trigger, even when the lever is fully open or partially closed, may cause the gun to accidently discharge and cause serious injury or death to anyone in the line of fire of the rifle. then, push the lever straight backward and pull the loading lever forward again. the cartridge that was in the chamber should now be automatically ejected.

Step 2. repeat step 2 until all cartridges have been ejected from the firearm. after all cartridges have been ejected, cycle the action four or five more times, as described in step 2, as an added precaution to assure that all rounds were ejected.

Step 3. after step 2, move the loading lever to the forward position while visually inspecting both the chamber and the carrier block, confirming no cartridges are still in the firearm.

Step 4. Pull the loading lever to the rear and, with your thumb on the hammer, pull the trigger; with your thumb, allow the hammer to slowly lower.

adjust the rear sight to shoot higher or lower, as well as to adjust for windage (left and right). your rifle can be adjusted to shoot higher by moving the rear sight elevator toward you by one or more notches. in order to shoot lower, the elevator should be moved away from you. to adjust your rifle for wind- age (left and right), you need to tap the rear sight to the left or right, as desired. if you are shooting to the left, you need to move the rear sight to the right and vice versa. a mi-nor ad- justment will correct the point of impact. the base of the rear sight is dovetailed into a groove on the barrel. to make hori- zontal adjustments, the entire dovetailed base must be moved right or left in its slot on the barrel. to do this, carefully use a brass punch or nylon punch, slightly pointed but having a flat point appropriate in size to properly engage the left or right end of the sight base where it slides in the groove on the barrel. gently tap the dowel with a light ham-mer and be very careful not to mar or damage the barrel or sight base. to help you determine how far you have moved the sight right or left, a soft pencil can be used. the front edge of the rear sight base comes to a point where it rests on the barrel. at the point of the sight base, lightly make a small mark with the pencil and carry it straight down to make a small adjoining mark on the barrel. this will show you how far to the right or left you have moved the sight base. When your adjustments are completed, the marks can easily be wiped off with a lightly oiled, soft cloth.

The Henry .30/30 rifle THe PerenniAl CHoiCe of THe WHiTeTAil HUnTer

from the north woods to the texas hill country and in every deer camp and lodge in-between, the .30-30 rifle remains the perennial choice of whitetail hunters. More than just another deer cartridge, the venerable .30-30 has been the king of deer calibers since the first rifle chambered in this ageless round was produced in 1894. in fact, it’s a safe bet that in the past century, no other round has put more antlers on the wall and venison in the freezer than the .30-30. so it only made sense that Benjamin Henry, america’s most storied rifle maker, would produce a rifle chambered for this legendary caliber. this latest addition to this world-famous line of lever-action repeaters was built with the traditional deer hunter in mind. like its predecessors, it’s both lightweight (just 7 to 8.3 lbs) and maneuverable (39” long), making the perfect combination for hunting in dense timber and heavy brush. like every Henry rifle, it’s 100% american-made and with its select american walnut stock and forearm, it is a masterpiece of finely crafted gunsmithing. the Henry H009 has a steel receiver and a round, blued, steel barrel that is machined with state-of-the-art multiple-groove rifling. the H009B has a visually impressive 20” octagonal barrel and a handsome brass receiver and brass barrel band. Both rifles are drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting. the magazine holds five rounds that chamber quickly and smoothly thanks to a crisp, perfectly machined action.

this firearm is designed with an ultra-safe patented transfer Bar safety Mechanism. this safety system prevents the gun from being fired under all circumstances, except when the hammer is fully cocked and the trigger is pulled. if the ham- mer is fully cocked and the trigger is pulled, the gun would fire as normal. However, if the hammer is fully cocked and is accidentally dislodged by some other means other than the trigger being pulled, the gun will not fire. if the hammer is in the process of being cocked and is accidentally released and dropped into the fired down position, before it is fully cocked, the gun will not fire. this rifle can be safely carried fully loaded with the hammer in the fired down resting position. Please note that this rifle does not have a half cock safety posi- tion nor a crossbold safety.

Prior to loading your rifle, make certain that it is not already loaded. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, swing the lever down, and pull it back. if a cartridge ejects, proceed with di- rections on how to unload the magazine tube and empty the chamber. it is recommended that you always load a completely unloaded firearm, and clear the firearm of any cartridges prior to loading. assuming that you are now operating an unloaded firearm, make certain that the barrel, receiver, and chamber are free from any obstruction. this rifle is a tubular feed design, using a brass inner magazine tube. Cartridges are loaded into the cutout in the blued outer magazine tube located underneath the barrel.

the Henry Pump-action octagon .22 rifle joins faded jeans, Mom’s apple pie, and a restored ’57 Chevy as a n all-american icon. now fitted with a blue octagonal barrel, it resurrects the great old days of the traditional shooting gallery. the Henry Pump octagon, available in calibers .22lr or .22 Magnum, is one gun that is built for fun. it also sports a grooved receiver for mounting a scope, and Marble arms® semi-buckhorn, fully-adjustable rear sights with standard ⅜” dovetail slots enabling you to change sights if you choose to do so. Beautifully finished american walnut is used for the stock. the .22lr version can hold 15 rounds of .22lr and as much as 21 rounds of .22short. the capacity of the .22 Magnum is 12 rounds. if you must extract an un- fired cartridge from the chamber, a grooved release button at the right front of the trigger guard has been included. When pressed back, the lever unlocks the forend, allowing it to be retracted to eject the unfired round.

Caution: always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. extremely important: you must become thoroughly familiar with knowing how to place the hammer into the safety posi- tion and that the trigger is immovable. you must practice this procedure several times with an unloaded rifle to become thor- oughly familiar with it. you must become familiar with the following procedure. do not attempt to operate this firearm unless you know how to place the hammer in the safety position. Note: Whenever you need to unlock the forearm in order to pull it back and open the action, pull back on the grooved release button at the right front of the trigger guard. this will enable you to pull the forearm back and open the action.

HoW To PlACe THe HAmmer in THe sAfeTy PosiTion

there are two ways to set the hammer into the safety position. the first way is with the hammer in the fired (down) position (#3 figure a), cock the hammer back slightly, about 1/16” to 1/8”, until you feel and hear the hammer click into the safety posi- tion (#2 figure a). the hammer and trigger will now be locked into the safety position and, if you pull the trigger to fire, the trigger should not move and the hammer should not fall. the second way to set the safety is to cock the hammer all the way by pulling the forearm back, thus opening the action and pushing the hammer back into the fully-cocked position (#1 figure a). then push the forearm fully forward closing the action. Warning: this causes a round to be loaded into the chamber and the gun is now ready to fire! now, firmly hold the hammer back with your thumb. While holding the hammer, apply just enough pressure on the trigger to release the hammer from the full cock position. remove your finger from the trigger very quickly and slowly lower the hammer into the safety position. the hammer will now be locked into the safety posi- tion and if you pull the trigger to fire, the ham-mer should not fall. the trick to setting the safety this way is to remove your finger very quickly from the trigger when dropping the hammer into the safety position. When the chamber is loaded, never place the hammer in the fired (down) position (#3 figure a). the safety is designed to secure the ham- mer, holding it from contacting the firing pin. However, this mechanism will not necessarily prevent the accidental discharge of this firearm as a result of jarring, abuse or mishandling.

Prior to loading your rifle, make certain that the rifle is not already loaded. Point the muzzle in a safe direction and pull the forearm back to open the action. if a cartridge ejects, pro- ceed with directions on how to unload the magazine tube and empty and clear the chamber. Henry recommends that you al- ways load a completely unloaded firearm and clear the firearm of any cartridges prior to loading. assuming that you are now handling an unloaded firearm, make certain that the barrel, receiver, and chamber are free from any grease, oil, debris or any other obstruction. Make certain that the ammunition you are about to use is .22 rimfire caliber. Make certain that you are using name-brand, top qual- ity ammunition. With your new Henry Pump-action .22, you can use .22 long rifle, .22 long or .22 short. the capacity for .22 long rifle is 15 rounds, .22 long 15-17 rounds, and for .22 short it is 21 rounds.

When sighting your rifle, shoot a group to determine point of impact on the target. then make incremental adjustments to center the point of impact on the target bullseye. for adjusting elevation up or down, move the rear sight up to shoot higher and move the rear sight down to shoot lower. to adjust for elevation, use your fingertips to gently lift the rear sight notch blade up just enough to free the notched elevator slide so that it can be carefully moved forward or rearward. Move the notched elevator slide forward to shoot lower, or rearward to shoot higher. to adjust for windage, a horizontal adjustment is required. if you are shooting to the right of the target, move the rear sight to the left to correct point of impact. if you are shooting to the left, move the rear sight to the right to correct the point of im- pact. the base of the rear sight is dove-tailed into a groove on the barrel. to make horizontal adjustments, the entire dove- tailed base must be moved right or left in its slot on the barrel. to do this, carefully use a soft wood, fiber or plastic dowel, slightly pointed but having a flat point appropriate in size to properly engage the left or right end of the sight base where it slides in the groove on the barrel. gently tap the dowel with a light hammer and be very careful not to mar or damage the barrel or sight base. to help you determine how far you have moved the sight — right or left — a soft pencil can be used. the front edge of the rear sight base comes to a point where it rests on the barrel. at the point of the sight base, lightly make a small mark with the pencil and carry it straight down to make a small adjoining mark on the barrel. this will show you how far to the right or left you have moved the sight base. When your adjustments are completed, the marks can easily be wiped off with a lightly-oiled, soft cloth. it should also be re-membered that if you change the brand or type of .22 ammunition you are using, sighting adjustments are a normal expectation.

Back when the West was still wild and the rifle was the tool of choice for survival and frontier justice, the venerable .44-cali- ber put more meat on the table and outlaws in the ground than any other bullet. the West may have been tamed and fenced long ago, but its unbridled spirit lives on in this line of traditional big-bore Henry rifles. Choose from .44 Magnum, .45 Colt and .357 Magnum. all are sass approved so Cowboy action shooters who enjoy stepping back to that bygone era can use them in competition. don’t let the retro look fool you — these rifles are much more than shootin’ irons for today’s new breed of cowboy. they’re also the unbeatable choice of big-game hunters who prefer the traditional look, feel, reliability, and accuracy that comes from an authentic Henry rifle. each Big Boy receiver comes drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting, and the barrels are fitted with fully adjustable sights. the traditional 20” octagonal barrel is outfitted with a clas- sic, fully adjustable, semi-buckhorn rear sight with a reversible white diamond insert and a brass-beaded front sight. the tu- bular magazine tops off at 10 rounds. Both the straight-grip stock and forearm are crafted of se- lect american walnut, accented with a brass barrel band and Henry’s recognizable brass receiver. all have that crisp, smooth action that sets an authentic american-made Henry apart from other lever-action rifles on the range and in the woods. the .44 Magnum can also shoot .44 special rounds, and the .357 Magnum can also shoot .38 special rounds.

this firearm is designed with an ultra-safe patented transfer Bar safety Mechanism. this safety system prevents the gun from being fired under all circumstances, except when the hammer is fully cocked and the trigger is pulled. if the ham- mer is fully cocked and the trigger is pulled, the gun would fire as normal. However, if the hammer is fully cocked and is accidentally dislodged by some other means other than the trigger being pulled, the gun will not fire. if the ham-mer is in the process of being cocked and is accidentally released and dropped into the fired down position, before it is fully cocked, the gun will not fire. this rifle can be safely carried fully loaded with the hammer in the fired down resting position. Please note that this rifle does not have a half cock safety position or a crossbold safety.

Prior To loAdinG yoUr Henry BiG Boy rifle

Prior to loading your rifle, make certain that it is not already loaded. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, swing the lever down, and pull it back. if a cartridge ejects, proceed with di- rections on how to unload the magazine tube and empty the chamber. it is recommended that you always load a completely unloaded firearm, and clear the firearm of any cartridges prior to loading. assuming that you are now operating an unloaded firearm, make certain that the barrel, receiver, and chamber are free from any obstruction.

this rifle is a tubular feed design, using a brass inner maga- zine tube. Cartridges are loaded into the cutout in the blued outer magazine tube located underneath the barrel. it is im- portant to note that when loading, the action must be closed with the hammer in the uncocked position (fired down posi- tion). rotate the inner magazine tube to disengage. Pull the inner magazine tube out until the follower (the black part at the end of the inner magazine tube) clears the loading port in the outer magazine tube. you can either remove the brass inner magazine tube completely or keep it positioned in the outer magazine tube just past the loading port. With the muzzle pointed upward, insert the rimmed end of the cartridges into the loading port in the outer magazine tube

and allow them to slide down toward the action. do not ex- ceed the capacity of the magazine, which is 10 rounds. next, push the inner magazine tube back down into position, and lock it into place. the rifle is now ready for operation. Mares leg pistols will only accept 5 rounds.

the rifle chamber can now be loaded by swinging the lever down completely, and pulling it back into a closed position. the hammer has been moved into the cocked position and the rifle is now ready to fire. if you are not yet ready to fire, then place your thumb on the hammer, and disengage the hammer by pulling the trigger slightly rearward. immediately release the trigger while still holding the hammer, and bring the hammer into the fired down position. you now have the gun in loaded but safe-to- carry position. if you want to fire the gun, bring the hammer back to the cocked position, aim in a safe direction at your target, and pull the trigger.

to unload the magazine and chamber, the hammer should be resting in the fired down position. With the rifle pointing up- ward, withdraw the inner magazine tube. tip the gun down- ward, allowing cartridges to slide out into a container. Be-fore replacing the inner magazine tube, always check it to be cer- tain that no cartridges are stuck in the magazine tube. open the action again, by cycling the lever, to make certain that there are no cartridges in the chamber. Cycle the action multiple times to insure that no live rounds remain in the chamber.

your rifle is equipped with a fully adjustable rear sight. the rear sight is adjustable for elevation (shooting high and low) and for windage (shooting left and right). in order to shoot higher, you need to raise the rear sight. in order to shoot lower, you need to lower the rear sight. in order to raise or lower the rear sight, you need to grab the “ears” of the rear sight, and lift it up in order to move the rear sight elevator, which sits be-low the ears. your rifle can be adjusted to shoot higher by moving the rear sight elevator backward by one or more notches. in order to shoot lower, the rear sight elevator should be moved

forward. in addition, the rear sight contains a white diamond insert for fine-tuning height adjustment. this part is held in place by a screw. this reversible piece gives you a choice of u shape or v shape and can be adjusted for height. if you want to shoot higher, raise the insert. if you want to shoot lower, then lower the insert. to adjust your rifle for windage (left/right), Henry suggests that you move the rear sight to the left or right as desired. the rear sight sits in a dovetail slot cutout in the barrel. to adjust your rifle for wind- age use a plastic mallet, or a hammer and a brass wedge to tap it in the direction you want your shots to print. WARNING: removal and failure to re-install the locking bolt (part 35) is extremely dangerous.

mini Bolt youth rifle offiCiAl yoUTH rifle of THe UsA sHooTinG TeAm

there’s no doubt a Henry Mini Bolt youth .22 is the perfect ri- fle for introducing youngsters to shooting and hunting. in fact, the usa olympic shooting team were so impressed by its kid-friendly performance and bullseye-punching accuracy, they named the Mini Bolt the official youth rifle of their program. like all Henry rifles, it’s crafted at a Henry manufacturing plant, so a child can enjoy the same american-made reliabil- ity that is to be had from adult-sized Henry rifles. the Mini Bolt’s one-piece synthetic stock has an 11.5” length of pull and is ideally proportioned for smaller shooters. its single-shot, european-style bolt-action makes it a safe, reliable starter gun for a youngster. Weighing in at a feather-light 3.25 lbs, kids won’t mind toting it to the range or through the woods. to maximize safety, the Mini Bolt is outfitted with a manu- ally operated safety switch that, when set, prevents the gun from firing even when cocked. the beavertail forearm includes wraparound checkering that makes it easy for young hands to grip. and the stainless steel barrel is fitted with high-visibility Williams firesights using two bright-green, fiber-optic dots on the adjustable rear sight and one red dot for the front bead so young eyes can get on target easily even in low-light conditions. the great looks are the only thing that weren’t downsized. the stainless steel elements contrast dramatically with the black or colorful Muddy girl stock and illuminated sights.

.45-70 lever-Action rifle THe CHoiCe of THe BiG-GAme HUnTers

this is a caliber that traces its origins from the battlefield to its modern-day presence in hunting camps across the country. the lever gun offerings have progressed from .17 and .22 caliber rimfires to pistol cartridge centerfires, and in 2011 to the most popular deer-hunting caliber of all — the .30-30. in 2012, a new model was introduced, chambered for a famous cartridge capable of handling even the largest game in north america: the .45-70 lever-action. introduced by the u.s. army in 1873, this cartridge was first known as the .45 government. as it made its way into com- mercially produced firearms, the name .45-70 appeared be- cause it was loaded with a 70-grain blackpowder charge with 405- and 500-grain bullets. virtually all rifle-making com- panies of the late 19th century chambered their single shots and lever-actions for the .45-70. as those companies and their rifles faded away, the .45-70’s popularity did not. factory .45- 70 ammunition has been cataloged continuously since 1873 but never in the variety of loadings available now in the 21st century. they range from 405-grain lead bullet, low-velocity loads for deer hunting and target shooting, to high-velocity 300- to 400-grain jacketed bullets meant for large game. the new Model H010 .45-70 can handle them all. its receiver is blued, steel-fitted with an 18.43” round barrel underneath and a tubular magazine of four-round capacity. its pistol grip buttstock and steel-capped forend are crafted of beautiful american walnut and cut with checkering to provide a sure grip. the buttstock wears a soft rubber pad to help shooters handle .45-70 recoil from a 7.08 lb. rifle. the model H010 is factory-issued with an Xs ghost ring rear peep sight with blade front. Because the receiver is drilled and tapped, scope mounting is an easy option.

as a handy yet powerful lever gun capable of fast repeat shots in the bear country of alaska, as well as a short, light rifle for deer hunting in the mountains of Pennsylvania, the new Model H010 will provide the accuracy and reliability you can count on.

to sight in your ghost ring aperture sight, you should know the following: 1. the stem of the aperture is threaded, and by turning the

aperture ½ revolution, you will move point of impact approximately 1” at 100 yards.

2. the windage screws will shift point of impact approxi- mately 1” at 100 yards per ¼ revolution.

elevation eXaMPle: at 100 yards and the bullet im- pact is 4” low. loosen one of the wind-age screws 2–3 full turns to allow the aperture to then be turned 4 half turns up (counterclock-wise). then retighten the same windage screw. remember that you always move the rear sight in the same direction you wish the bullet impact to go. this will put you within a ½” of the desired point of impact. Windage eXaMPle: this same rifle is 3” off to the right at 100 yards. loosen the left windage screw ¾ of a turn and tighten the right windage screw to move the aperture and the group to the left.

if you purchased the model H010 it is chambered for the .45- 70 cartridge. if you are unsure of the caliber rifle you have, Henry suggests that you read the rollmark on the barrel to identify the caliber. Do Not USe ALUmINUm CASeD RoUNDS! note: rear sights are always moved in the direction you wish the bullet impact to go. if you raise the aperture, the impact will come up. front sights are moved in the opposite direction. to raise the point of impact, the front sight must be lower.
