Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Every so often Henry builds a rifle meant to be handed down rather than just used up, and the Big Boy Deluxe Engraved is exactly that. The solid hardened brass receiver wears intricate scrollwork in the tradition of the great 19th century engravers, with matching detail on the barrel band, and because the brass runs solid all the way through there is no plating to chip or flake over the years. Pair that with uniquely figured American walnut furniture and a 20 inch blued octagon barrel, and you have a rifle that turns heads at the range and looks right at home over the mantle.
Don't let the looks fool you into thinking this is a safe queen. Chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special, it feeds both from a 10 round tubular magazine, and the side loading gate lets you top off without pulling the tube. You still get the removable inner tube too, which makes unloading at the end of the day quick and simple. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front are classic lever gun sighting done right, and the 1:16 twist barrel handles everything from mild .38 plinking loads to full-house magnums. At 8.68 pounds with a 38.5 inch overall length, it carries steady and soaks up recoil, so long range sessions stay comfortable.
This is a limited production rifle, which puts it in a different category than the standard Big Boy Side Gate. Between the figured walnut, the engraved brass, and the transfer bar safety that keeps the traditional lines intact without an add-on crossbolt, it hits that sweet spot of collector appeal and real working rifle. Whether you're marking a retirement, a milestone birthday, or just adding a centerpiece to your own collection, this one delivers on both fronts. Pistol caliber lever guns are some of the most fun rifles you can shoot, and this is about the finest-dressed way to do it.
Yes, it handles both interchangeably. .38 Special is a great option for cheap, soft-shooting range days, while full-power .357 Magnum out of the 20 inch barrel picks up a healthy velocity boost over a revolver, making it a legitimate short-range hunting and defense round. Just note that capacity can vary slightly between the two since .38 Special cases are shorter.
It does. This is the Side Gate version of the Deluxe Engraved, so you can top off the magazine through the receiver like a traditional lever gun. It also keeps Henry's removable inner magazine tube, which gives you a second option for loading and makes unloading much easier and safer than cycling every round through the action.
No, the receiver is solid hardened brass all the way through with no plating or coating on top. That means the engraving is cut into solid metal, and there's nothing to chip, peel, or wear off over time. Like all brass, it will develop a natural patina with age, which most owners consider part of the charm, though it polishes back to a shine easily if you prefer.
It's a limited production rifle with collector appeal, so some buyers do keep them unfired. That said, it's built on the same proven Big Boy action as Henry's working guns, so it's fully capable of regular range use. Plenty of owners split the difference and shoot them on special occasions while keeping them displayed the rest of the time.
