There's something about a short lever gun with a brass receiver that just feels right in the hands, and the Henry Big Boy Brass Carbine in .45 Colt nails it. Henry took their full-size Big Boy, trimmed the octagon barrel down to 16.5 inches, and shaved close to a pound of weight off the front end in the process. The result is a 35-inch rifle that swings quick, carries easy through thick timber, and still holds 7 rounds of .45 Colt in the tube. It's the modern take on the old trapper carbines, built entirely in the USA.
This version of the Big Boy Carbine gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to feeding it. There's a traditional side loading gate on the receiver for topping off on the go, plus Henry's removable tube magazine, which makes unloading at the end of the day simple and safe without cycling every round through the action. The lever itself is the large loop style, which looks the part and works great with gloves on. And the action is what Henry is known for: slick right out of the box and only getting smoother with use.
The polished brass receiver is the centerpiece here, set off by a blued octagon barrel, brass barrel band, and brass buttplate. The straight-grip stock and forearm are cut from select American walnut, so no two look exactly alike. Sights are a brass bead up front and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a reversible white diamond insert, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped if you'd rather run a scope. A transfer bar safety keeps things clean, with no crossbolt button breaking up the lines.
Out of a rifle-length barrel, .45 Colt picks up a nice bump in velocity over a revolver, making this a capable brush gun for deer and hogs at woods distances. It also pairs naturally with a .45 Colt sixgun for anyone running a matched set, and it's a blast for casual plinking or cowboy-style shooting. Short, handsome, and smooth, this one tends to become the favorite in the safe.
Both. This model has a traditional side loading gate on the receiver plus Henry's removable tube magazine. Load through the gate to top off quickly, then pull the inner magazine tube to unload safely without running rounds through the action.
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, and it accepts Henry's BB-RSM scope mount. That said, the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front sights work well at the distances .45 Colt is best suited for, so plenty of owners leave it as is.
At woods ranges, absolutely. The 16.5-inch barrel gives .45 Colt a meaningful velocity boost over a revolver, and with a good hard cast or hunting bullet it handles deer and hogs well inside 100 yards. It's a classic short-range brush gun cartridge for a reason.
The shorter 16.5-inch octagon barrel trims nearly a pound off the front end compared to the 20-inch rifle, bringing it in around 7.76 pounds with a 35-inch overall length. That weight sits between your hands rather than out front, so it carries and points noticeably quicker.
