HENRY Deluxe 3rd Edition 44.40 Win 24.5" 13rd Lever Action Rifle w/ Octagon Barrel - Engraved Brass

After the Civil War it was customary to present engraved rifles as gifts to dignitaries, retiring military leaders and visiting heads of state. Today we all know someone who deserves an equally special gift, one that reflects the lasting impact he’s made on his friends, family or coworkers. Henry has created their 3rd Edition Deluxe Engraved Rifle in .44-40 which was Henry's second rifled caliber originally offered. This rifle has a specially-formulated hardened brass receiver with the same tensile strength as steel and it is fitted with a one-piece octagonal barrel and magazine, fancy grade American Walnut stock, a classic folding ladder rear sight and blade front, traditional half-cock safety hammer notch, and no modernized manual safeties.

In the days when the average soldier was expected to be able to fire up to three rounds per minute through his muzzle-loading Springfield rifle, a small unit armed with Henry rifles could provide the firepower of an entire company. That ground-breaking lever action rifle design was the foundation for a uniquely American class of long guns that’s still with Henry today, over 155 years later.
