What's Included
- Henry Steel Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate rifle (Model H010G)
The Side Gate series adds flexible loading with both a right-side loading gate and a removable magazine tube. This setup makes topping off or unloading straightforward while maintaining the classic lever-action handling buyers expect in a .45-70.
The rifle is built on a blued steel receiver and barrel, matched to an American walnut pistol-grip stock and walnut forend with a steel cap. Factory checkering, an oval lever loop, a ventilated recoil pad, and factory-installed sling swivel studs round out the furniture and handling features.
Sights are practical and traditional: a brass bead front on a ramp and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope base, providing a straightforward path to mount a compatible base if desired.
Key dimensions are tuned for fast handling and control: an 18.43-inch barrel with a 1:20 RH twist, a 14.0-inch length of pull, and a 37.5-inch overall length. Capacity is 4+1, weight is 7.08 pounds, and the action uses a transfer bar safety. Additional details include a right-side ejection port and a barrel band.
