Experience the charm of vintage American craftsmanship with the Henry Repeating Arms Model H010B, also known as the Golden Boy. This iconic lever-action rifle is steeped in history, introduced in 1860 and quickly adopted by the U.S. government, hunters, and military units alike. The .45-70 Govt. caliber is known for its robust firepower, offering substantial stopping power suitable for big game hunting or self-defense.
The rifle is in good condition, showing signs of careful handling and use. Some minor blemishes and subtle scratches on the brass are testaments to its prior adventures. The bore condition is good, with clean, well-maintained, minor wear marks, and the rifling is intact, with well-defined lands and grooves.
The Golden Boy stands out with its striking blued finish and brass receiver and front band, giving it a vintage feel. The smooth walnut stock provides a firm grip, and the brass beaded front blade with a Buckhorn rear sight aids in precise target acquisition. The lever-action mechanism, a system made famous in the Wild West era, offers smooth, reliable cycling of rounds. Along with a 4+1 capacity, this makes the rifle ideal for hunting and sport shooting.
The original factory box is included in the sale, signifying the well-preserved condition of the rifle and adding to its collectability. Proudly made in the United States, the Golden Boy is a testament to the high-quality firearms produced by Henry Repeating Arms Co. Owning this piece is not just about adding to a collection but also about experiencing a part of American history.
