HENRY H012GCR BIG BOY STEEL CARBINE 45 LC

HENRY H012GCR BIG BOY STEEL CARBINE 45 LC is a lever action carbine from Henry Repeating Arms built for hunters and shooters who want a shorter, more maneuverable rifle chambered in a proven straight-walled cartridge. This lever action rifle (H012GCR) pairs a round blued steel barrel with American walnut furniture, giving hunters, ranchers, and property owners a compact 45 Colt carbine for hunting in thick cover, tight spaces, and straight-wall cartridge hunting zones. The Big Boy Steel Carbine gives lever action shooters a lighter steel-framed alternative to the brass version while trimming barrel length for faster handling.

Special Features

• The shorter 16.5 inch barrel and 34 inch overall length make this carbine easier to maneuver in thick brush, dense timber, or tight quarters than the 20 inch rifle version.
• The steel receiver construction keeps this carbine lighter than Henry's brass framed Big Boy models, easing all-day carry in the field.
• A side loading gate works alongside the removable tube magazine, allowing quick top-off without dismounting the rifle from the shoulder.
• The semi-buckhorn rear sight with a diamond insert pairs with a brass bead front sight for a precise, traditional Western-style sight picture.
• The blued matte finish reduces glare compared to a polished finish, helping the carbine stay less noticeable during a hunt.

Practical Benefits

• You get a compact lever action carbine that handles quickly in tight cover, making it a practical companion for brush hunting or property patrol.
• If you are wondering whether this carbine works for straight-wall cartridge hunting zones, the 45 Colt chambering meets many state regulations written around that requirement.
• The 7+1 capacity and short lever throw give you fast follow-up shots when hogs or deer flush at close range.
• Ranchers and landowners benefit from a shorter, lighter rifle that stores easily in a truck cab or side-by-side without sacrificing stopping power.
• Reloaders and 45 Colt shooters benefit from a platform built around a cartridge with decades of established load data and factory ammunition options.
• If you want a Henry Big Boy that carries easier through thick cover than the full-length rifle, this carbine gives you the same reliable action in a trimmer, faster-handling package.

The Henry H012GCR Big Boy Steel Carbine in 45 Colt with its 16.5 inch blued barrel and walnut stock stands as a smart addition for hunters and shooters who want a compact, dependable straight-walled cartridge carbine.
