The Henry Big Boy Side Gate Carbine in .357 Magnum (brand part no. H006GMR) is a lever-action rifle built around a compact 16.5-inch octagon barrel, reviving the classic Trapper-style carbine profile in a modern side-gate-loading platform. Henry Repeating Arms finishes the barrel in blued steel with a polished brass receiver, and pairs an American walnut stock with an enlarged loop lever for faster cycling. The rifle feeds from a 7+1-round tubular magazine with a transfer-bar safety, chambering .38 Special as well for versatile ammunition options. Among lever action rifles, the Big Boy Side Gate Carbine favors shooters who want a shorter-handling, brass-framed lever gun with faster side-gate reloading.
