Left: Uberti’s 1860 Henry sports a distinctive solid brass receiver Middle & Right: True to the original, the Uberti Henry repeating rifle features a lever lock at the rear of the lever, and a convenient external cartridge follower, which aids in loading the tubular magazine.
B. Tyler Henry of the New Haven Arms Company introduced the Henry rifle the year the Civil War began. Only 1,700 of the lever-action repeating rifles were issued to Union troops, but the gun’s reputation quickly grew. Southerners dubbed it “that tarnation Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and shoot all week.”
After the war, the Henry went West. There was more than one of the Henry rifles in the fight at Little Big Horn. Unfortunately for Custer, all of the Henrys were used by Indians.
Early bronze-framed Henry rifles were followed by more rugged, iron-framed models. Uberti offers two brass-framed, one iron-framed, and one steel-framed Henry. The iron-framed model is available only in .45 Colt; all other models are chambered in .44-40 and .45 Colt.
