Why Buy New? Well, you can’t!

Offered for sale is this fine Henry Carbine which has had little if any use & has been a safe queen for most of its life, which shows!

This is part of the Henry ‘Big Boy Brass Rifle & Carbine’ range which are currently unavailable new in Australia but we have this great example right now in the shop.

Henry’s legendary polished hardened brass receiver provides the foundation for this version of the Big Boy, which lends more than enough strength to withstand the higher-pressure cartridges it’s designed for.

This Big Boy Brass Carbine has the large loop lever & features the more compact 16.5” barrel. The barrels are made of high-quality steel, cut to an octagon profile as another nod to the rifles that won the West, blued for corrosion resistance, polished & the rollmarks are filled with gold paint by hand.

To get you on target, the Big Boy Brass has a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a reversible insert. Because all eyes are different, the insert has a white diamond on one side to help line up the brass bead front sight & nothing on the opposite side if it’s too distracting. If your preferred sight picture involves magnification, the receiver is drilled and tapped to accept a scope base.

Both the straight-grip buttstock & the forearm are crafted from luxurious genuine American walnut & accented with a polished brass barrel band & buttplate to match the receiver. The attention to detail carries through with the smooth action & crisp trigger that distinguishes an authentic, American-made Henry.

We are not going to try & rate the condition out of 100 as everyone seems to have a different opinion on what the percentages should be, so we’ll let the pictures be the description. You will know if this is for you so view the photos carefully & make your decision based on what you see as they form the main description & override all written information. Ask for more if desired.

We think we have described it accurately & correctly but do not claim to be infallible so if we have got anything wrong, it is unintentional.

Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & this is sold on an ‘as is’ basis. As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting.

Standard cost for shipping to metro locations is $55 & all guns are sent via StarTrack without insurance but packed very well.
