Henry's Big Boy Side Gate H012GCL is a .45 Colt lever action with a 20-inch round barrel in blued steel, a receiver and trim in polished brass, and deep-checkered American walnut furniture. The removable tubular magazine holds 10 rounds plus one chambered, and the side loading gate tops it off without pulling the tube. Sights are a brass bead in front with a semi-buckhorn behind, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for an optic mount. The rifle weighs 7.5 pounds and measures 37.5 inches overall.

.45 Colt lever rifles suit the cowboy-action shooter who already runs a .45 Colt revolver and wants one cartridge for both guns, and the 10+1 capacity covers a full stage. At the range it is a mild-recoiling center-fire with a long sight radius, and the tapped receiver takes a scope for anyone who wants to use it for hunting where their state's caliber rules allow. The brass and walnut make it a display piece between outings.
