Henry 1860 Repeater Rifle W/ Octagonal Barrel
Own a striking piece of history with the Henry 1860 Repeater Rifle W/ Octagonal Barrel.
The Henry Rifle of 1860 was an important breakthrough in repeater technology. The lever action ejection of spent shells and loading of a fresh allowing multiple shots without reloading became the standard for rifles for the next 40 years. The rounds were loaded into the spring-loaded under barrel with 15 and one in the breech.
The Henry has initially adopted by the Union army in the US Civil War but many later found their way into the hands of Cheyenne and Sioux warriors and were used to decimate General Custer's cavalry at the Battle of Little Bighorn thus earning historical notoriety and paving the way for the introduction of the Winchester.
The item is a replica weapon. It is designed to resemble in shape, size, weight and basic functionality the firearm it represents. It has basic working parts and/or removable parts and is a genuine Europe made item. The replica comes in its factory card box.
