Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rifle use .45 ACP or .454 Casull ammunition?

No — this rifle is chambered specifically for .45 Long Colt (also written as .45 LC or .45 Colt). It is not compatible with .45 ACP, .454 Casull, or .460 S&W. Always verify your ammunition headstamp reads ".45 Colt" before loading.

What is the advantage of having both a side gate and a removable tube magazine?

The dual-loading system gives you the best of both worlds. The side loading gate lets you quickly top off rounds during a shooting session without disturbing the magazine, much like classic Winchester-style rifles. The removable tube magazine — a hallmark of Henry's original design — allows for fast, safe unloading by simply removing the tube, which is especially useful at the range or when storing the firearm.

Is the 16.5" barrel version considered a legal rifle in California?

Yes. With a 16.5" barrel and a standard overall length well above 26 inches, this Henry Big Boy Brass meets the federal and California definition of a rifle and does not require any NFA registration. It is not considered a short-barreled rifle (SBR). As always, consult local regulations and your FFL dealer for any state-specific compliance questions.
