The Taylors & Co 1860 Henry Steel Frame is a lever-action rifle chambered in .45 Colt, built on the design of the original Henry rifle that preceded the Winchester. With a 24.25-inch barrel, 13-round capacity, blued finish, and walnut stock, it covers the full range of what someone might want from a historical reproduction that's actually shootable.

Features
The lever action cycles reliably and allows fast follow-up shots, which is useful whether you're running it competitively or hunting. At 24.25 inches, the barrel provides a longer sight radius that helps at distance. The 13-round capacity is generous for the format and reduces interruptions during range sessions or field use. The blued steel and walnut combination is period-correct and ages well with proper care.
Who It Fits
A natural fit for hunters who want authenticity paired with real-world functionality, cowboy action shooters who need a reliable lever gun, and collectors interested in pieces that connect to American firearms history. The manual of arms is accessible enough for newer shooters, though anyone unfamiliar with lever-actions should budget time to get comfortable with the loading and cycling.
Common Uses
- Deer hunting and small game where .45 Colt is appropriate
