Historical Importance of the Henry Rifle
The Henry Rifle earned the nickname “tarnation Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and fire all week” due to its impressive 13-round tubular magazine and smooth lever-action. While relatively few Henry Rifles saw active service during the Civil War, their impact on the battlefield and firearms technology was profound. The rifle’s quick-firing mechanism provided a significant advantage in combat situations and later became a favorite among pioneers, hunters, and lawmen throughout the Old West. Uberti’s reproduction captures all these features, preserving the legacy of this iconic firearm for modern enthusiasts.

The rifle features a 24.25-inch blued steel barrel, a case-hardened steel frame (or optional blued Iron Frame replica), a case-hardened lever, and a blued buttplate. These elements are complemented by a beautiful A-grade walnut stock, providing a comfortable and secure hold while enhancing the rifle’s visual appeal. Every detail—from the fluted magazine tube to the polished finishes—has been carefully crafted to reflect the elegance and utility of the original Henry Rifles.
