Few rifles carry as much history as the 1860 Henry. Benjamin Tyler Henry earned his patent in October of 1860, and his design became the first repeating rifle to run metallic cartridges, a genuine leap forward at a time when most folks were still loading one shot at a time. Confederate soldiers famously griped about the rifle you could load on Sunday and shoot all week. This Taylors & Company version, built by Uberti in Italy, stays remarkably true to the original, then adds a laser engraved and hand chased brass frame that turns an already handsome rifle into a real showpiece.
The 24.25 inch octagon barrel is tapered and blued, with the magazine tube machined right into it, just like the originals. There is no fore-end and no side loading gate. You charge the magazine from the front by running the follower up, rotating the sleeve, and dropping your rounds in, a process that takes only a few seconds once you get the rhythm down. Chambered in .45 Colt, it holds 13 rounds in the tube plus one in the chamber, and the blade front sight pairs with a ladder rear that flips up when you want to stretch your range. Blued and case hardened small parts, a brass butt plate, and a nicely figured walnut buttstock round out the package.
This rifle is a natural for cowboy action matches, black powder cartridge fun, and relaxed afternoons ringing steel with soft shooting .45 Colt loads. The brass frame keeps recoil pleasant and the long sight radius makes it easy to shoot well. It also happens to be one of those rifles people gather around at the range, because an engraved Henry simply does not look like anything else on the line. Whether you shoot it regularly or give it a place of pride in the safe, it earns its keep either way.
It is built by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors & Company, who are known for their faithful Old West reproductions. Uberti has been making Henry replicas for decades, and this one is regarded as about as close to an original 1860 Henry as you can get today.
Like the originals, the magazine loads from the front of the barrel. You slide the follower all the way up, rotate the top sleeve to the side, tip the rifle slightly, and drop your cartridges in before closing it back up. It sounds fussy on paper, but with a little practice you can top off all 13 rounds in well under a minute.
It is a combination of both methods. The brass frame is laser engraved for consistency, then hand chased by a craftsman to give the pattern depth and that traditional cut look. The result is far more detailed than a plain roll-marked finish and gives each rifle a bit of individual character.
Absolutely, and .45 Colt is one of the most popular calibers in the sport, so ammo and reloading components are easy to come by. The brass frame is best paired with standard pressure loads, which also happen to be soft on the shoulder. Just keep your support hand behind the moving follower slot while firing, which becomes second nature quickly.
