Introducing the Henry Repeating Arms Model H024-4570, a remarkable lever-action rifle that perfectly marries traditional charm with modern functionality. This firearm, hailing from the esteemed Side Gate Lever Action series launched in 2019, stands out for its innovative feature of loading the magazine through a port in the receiver side, a departure from the traditional Henry rifles.
The Model H024-4570 is chambered in the powerful .45-70 Govt caliber. A round that dates back to the 1870s, it was originally used by the U.S. Army, demonstrating its significant stopping power. This makes the Model H024-4570 not only a collector's item but also a practical choice for big game hunting and personal defense.
The condition of this firearm is good, showing signs of prior use and handling. The bolt exhibits some finish wear and the brass has dulled with minor scratches on the barrel and tube. However, the bore is well-maintained with minor wear marks, and the rifling is intact with well-defined lands and grooves, indicating the firearm's continued functionality despite its age.
Constructed with a hardened brass finish, the Model H024-4570 evokes the classic aesthetics of the 'Yellowboy' rifles of the 1860s. The matte blued finish on the barrel and tube further enhances its vintage appeal. Its checkered stock/grips and white dotted front blade with a semi-Buckhorn rear sight not only add to its visual appeal but also its handling and performance.
With a capacity of 4+1 rounds and a barrel length of 19.8 inches, this rifle balances potency with practicality. The lever-action mechanism, a signature of Henry rifles, adds a historical charm to the firearm. This rifle is a testament to Henry's reputation for quality and durability, making it an excellent investment for both immediate use and future value.
