Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Henry Big Boy Steel Side Gate shoot both .44 Magnum and .44 Special?

Yes. The Big Boy Steel Side Gate is chambered to accept both .44 Magnum and .44 Special cartridges interchangeably, giving you flexibility at the range or in the field. This makes it easy to practice with lighter .44 Special loads and hunt with the full power of .44 Magnum ammunition.

What is the advantage of the side gate loading system?

The side gate allows you to load cartridges directly into the magazine tube through a gate on the side of the receiver — just like classic cowboy-era lever guns. This means you can top off your magazine without removing the rounds already loaded, making it faster and more convenient in the field compared to loading exclusively from the front of the tube.

Which barrel length should I choose — the 20" or the 16.5" carbine?

If you're hunting in dense brush or plan to use the rifle in tight quarters, the 16.5" carbine model with its large-loop lever is a great choice — it's more maneuverable and especially handy for gloved cold-weather use. The 20" standard barrel offers a slightly longer sight radius and can wring a bit more velocity out of your .44 Magnum loads, making it a better fit for open-country hunting or longer-range shooting.
