Overview
The Henry Repeating Arms Big Boy Steel series offers a robust and versatile lever action platform, configured here for the .327 Federal Magnum cartridge. Engineered for durability and consistent operation, this rifle integrates traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing precision. Its design facilitates rapid target acquisition and reliable cycling, suitable for varied applications from target practice to field utility.
Key Features
Precision Machined Components
The Big Boy Steel features a receiver and critical internal components precision-machined from solid steel. This manufacturing process ensures tight tolerances, promoting consistent lock-up and reliable operation across extended use cycles. The blued finish provides a durable, non-reflective surface, mitigating corrosion and wear under diverse environmental conditions.
Robust Steel Construction
This variant incorporates a blued steel receiver, barrel, and magazine tube. This construction choice prioritizes structural integrity and longevity, essential for a firearm subjected to repetitive action and field deployment. The steel frame effectively manages recoil impulse while maintaining component alignment, contributing to repeatable accuracy.
Caliber Versatility
Chambered in .327 Federal Magnum, this rifle also reliably cycles and fires .32 H&R Magnum and .32 S&W Long cartridges. This multi-caliber capability offers operational flexibility, allowing users to select ammunition based on ballistic requirements or cost-efficiency for training.
Smooth Lever Action
The characteristic Henry lever action system is optimized for fluid, positive cycling. This mechanism facilitates rapid follow-up shots without compromising operational reliability, critical in dynamic shooting scenarios. The design ensures consistent cartridge feeding and ejection.
Integrated Sighting System
Equipped with an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight featuring a white diamond insert and a brass bead front sight, the rifle provides clear, intuitive aiming points for rapid sight picture acquisition. The receiver is drilled and tapped for the installation of an aftermarket scope mount (e.g., Henry H009-010M Weaver Style Base), offering modularity for optical enhancements.
