Henry Big Boy Brass 45 Colt Carbine Side Gate 16″ Barrel H006GCR

If the thought of carrying a full-length rifle up a mountain or through the brush is weighing you down, take a load off with the Big Boy Brass Side Gate Carbine, a modern interpretation of the trapper classics of the past. This compact package combines all the features of our legendary Big Boy Rifle with the quick handling characteristics of a shorter, carbine length barrel – shedding nearly a pound in barrel weight.

It’s the ideal brush gun for tight spaces, but don’t let its compact 16.5” blued steel octagonal barrel fool you. The shorter barrel gives up nothing in accuracy to the standard rifle, and the factory-installed large loop lever aids in rapid lever manipulation, even when wearing gloves. Weighing in at a trim 7.76 lbs, with an overall length of 35”, this carbine is an easy rifle to pick up and a difficult one to put down.

The carbine model now sports a side loading gate, allowing you to top off the seven-round tube magazine without dropping the rifle from your shoulder. We’ve also retained the traditional magazine tube, allowing for safe and easy unloading. With both loading options at your disposal, you’ll always have your rifle at the ready.

True to Henry form, these rifles are constructed with exquisite attention to detail, using fine American-made components. Both the straight-grip stock and forearm are crafted of select American walnut accented with a polished brass barrel band and Henry’s signature hardened brass receiver. All have the smooth action and crisp trigger that distinguishes an authentic, American-made Henry.

Whether you’re looking for a companion to accompany you on a lengthy wilderness excursion or a quick-handling carbine to fit your saddle scabbard, the Big Boy Brass Side Gate Carbine is proof that great things come in small packages.
