Historical Significance of the Henry Rifle
Patented just before the Civil War, the Henry Rifle was revolutionary for its time. Soldiers quickly recognized its value, and despite a relatively limited battlefield presence, it earned the nickname “the tarnation Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and fire all week”. Its combination of rapid-fire capability, accuracy, and durable design made it highly sought after by both Union and Confederate troops, as well as by pioneers heading west after the war. The Henry Rifle’s lever-action design set the stage for later lever-action rifles, such as the Winchester, which would dominate the Old West.

The Uberti 1860 Henry Rifle Steel U342370 exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and historical accuracy. It features a 24.25-inch blued steel barrel, case-hardened steel frame, and a beautifully finished A-grade walnut stock.

Every detail, from the polished magazine tube to the historically correct metal finishes, has been carefully reproduced to reflect the original Henry Rifle’s aesthetic and functional qualities.
