Henry Big Boy Brass H006 .44 Magnum Lever-Action Rifle, 20-Inch Octagon Barrel, 10+1 Rounds
The Henry Big Boy Brass H006 stands out for its polished brass receiver, classic octagonal barrel, and reliable lever-action chambered in .44 Remington Magnum. An early “BB” serial prefix indicates first-generation Big Boy production, giving this rifle added interest for enthusiasts who value the model’s original configuration. With a 20-inch blued steel barrel, straight-grip American walnut furniture, and a 10-round tubular magazine, it blends traditional styling with Henry’s modern transfer-bar safety system.

What’s Included
- Slip-on black rubber recoil pad (installed)
The rifle’s polished brass receiver is machined from hardened brass alloy and factory drilled and tapped for a scope base, offering flexibility for hunters or target shooters who prefer optics.
A 20-inch octagonal blued steel barrel with a 1:20-inch right-hand twist delivers classic looks while stabilizing a wide range of .44 Magnum and .44 Special loads. The brass barrel band and brass-bead front sight reinforce the period-correct aesthetic.
The tubular magazine holds ten rounds plus one in the chamber. Loading is done through the front of the tube with a brass follower—a hallmark of early Big Boy design that keeps the receiver unmarred by a side gate.
American walnut furniture features a straight grip and matching forend, giving the rifle a clean, traditional profile. The installed slip-on recoil pad provides added comfort without altering the stock.
Henry’s transfer-bar safety allows the hammer to rest away from the firing pin until the trigger is pulled, adding a layer of security while maintaining the smooth lever-action operation collectors expect.
