Designed as a special edition within Henry’s Side Gate series, this H024-4570NRA carries provenance from the Friends of NRA 2020 Gun of the Year program. The commemorative theme is reinforced by a dedicated 2020NRA serial prefix and model designation that identify it as part of this limited production.
The polished brass receiver is factory engraved with extensive scrollwork and the “2020 Friends of NRA Gun of the Year” inscription. Complementing the metalwork, the hardwood forend bears an ornate “HENRY” cartouche within scrollwork, and the brass barrel band ties the visual package together.
Chambered in .45-70 Govt, it uses Henry’s dual loading system—feed through the side gate or the removable inner magazine tube. Capacity is 4+1, and the rifle wears a 19.8 in steel barrel with a threaded muzzle for supported attachments. A large-loop lever provides ample clearance and a confident cycling stroke.
Sighting equipment includes a ramped front blade and an adjustable rear leaf with a stepped elevator. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases (three holes), offering straightforward mounting options when desired.
The walnut-tone hardwood stock features a straight grip with checkering and a rear sling stud, matched to a hardwood forend. Sling studs are fitted front and rear. Built in the USA, this commemorative lever gun combines distinctive presentation with practical configuration and materials.
