Henry Repeating Arms has a rich name and history that is infused into each of the company's classic, lever-action designs. With its latest model, the company brings a classic loading-gate design into its tube magazine-fed guns, allowing users to top off their rifles any way they like. The Henry Side Gate Lever Action Rifle, chambered in .45-70 Government, still features the same removable tube magazine found in all of the company's guns. However, consumers will see a spring-loaded gate on the side of the receiver that allows for easy loading like other classic side-gate lever guns. Both loading methods work just fine, so you can choose whichever loading method works best for your situation.

The barrel band and buttplate are also made from brass, and the gun is completed with beautiful, American walnut furniture complete with deep checkering. The gun features a 20-inch blued barrel, which is topped by a buckhorn rear sight and an ivory-bead front sight.
