First produced in 1860, the original Henry rifle set the standard for repeating arms. Henry Repeating Arms now offers this New Original Henry as an exact-dimension, front-loading reproduction with modern metallurgy and tighter tolerances. The hardened brass alloy receiver is polished to a high shine and paired with a matching crescent buttplate for period-correct styling.
The 24.5-inch blued steel barrel is cut in the classic octagon profile, delivering authentic looks and balanced heft. Chambered in .44-40 Win., the tubular magazine holds thirteen cartridges plus one in the chamber, just like the Civil War-era design.
An exposed hammer, half-cock notch safety, and lack of any manual cross-bolt or tang safety preserve the original manual of arms. Sight alignment comes courtesy of a dovetailed brass blade front sight and an adjustable folding ladder rear sight—both true to the 19th-century pattern.
Fancy-grade American walnut forms the straight-grip stock and matching forend, each oil-finished for rich color and fitted with a sling swivel stud for field carry. At a 13-inch length of pull, the rifle shoulders naturally while maintaining historical dimensions.
Model H011 carries an MSRP of $2,914 and is produced entirely in Bayonne, New Jersey, underscoring Henry’s commitment to American manufacturing. Collectors and shooters alike will appreciate its combination of heritage, craftsmanship, and shootable quality.
