The Henry Original Brass Lever Action (Model H011C) is chambered in .45 Long Colt and feeds 13 rounds through a brass-framed receiver with a polished finish. The 24.5-inch octagonal blued steel barrel contributes to accuracy and helps manage recoil, and the blade front / folding ladder rear sights handle basic range estimation. The half-cock safety and fancy American walnut stock are consistent with the historical pattern Henry used on original production rifles. Overall length is 43 inches and weight is 9 lbs.

The H011C consistently earns appreciation for its walnut and brass aesthetics and the quality of Henry's fit and finish. Lever action cycling is smooth out of the box, and the .45 Colt cartridge works well across hunting and range applications. The rifle's connection to American firearms history resonates with both hunters and collectors.

At 9 lbs it is on the heavier side for a lever-action, and some smaller shooters note that it can feel bulky. Price sits in the middle of the Henry lineup and is generally viewed as appropriate given the receiver material and overall quality. Customization discussions typically focus on sights rather than structural modifications. Overall sentiment is strongly positive.
