Product Overview
The Henry Repeating Arms Big Boy All-Weather .357 Magnum lever action rifle is purpose-built for consistent performance in demanding environments.

Its design prioritizes durability and operational integrity across diverse climatic conditions, ensuring the rifle maintains functionality when exposed to the elements.
Key Features
All-Weather Durability
The defining characteristic of this rifle is its comprehensive all-weather treatment. The receiver, barrel, and magazine tube are hard chrome plated, delivering superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure compared to traditional blued finishes. This industrial-grade plating facilitates ease of maintenance and extends the operational lifespan of critical components. The stock and forend are crafted from a durable, industrial-grade synthetic material engineered to withstand impacts, temperature fluctuations, and moisture ingress without compromise to structural integrity or handling characteristics.
Precision Engineering
Equipped with a 20-inch hard chrome-plated steel barrel, the Big Boy All-Weather is designed to optimize projectile stability and achieve consistent accuracy with both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. The smooth-cycling lever action mechanism provides rapid follow-up shot capability while maintaining a robust, positive lock-up. Sighting is managed via an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight paired with a high-visibility brass bead front sight, allowing for precise zeroing and effective target engagement in varying light conditions.
Operational Reliability
The internal mechanics are engineered for dependable function. Henry’s proven tube loading system offers secure cartridge management and simple reloading. The integrated transfer bar safety mechanism mitigates accidental discharges while maintaining immediate readiness for operation. Every component is dimensioned and assembled to ensure consistent feeding, extraction, and ejection, minimizing potential stoppages in critical situations.
