Frequently Asked Questions
1860 Henry rifles
What caliber was the 1860 Henry?
The original 1860 Henry rifle was chambered in .44 Henry rimfire. Modern reproductions are typically offered in .44-40 Winchester or .45 Colt centerfire calibers.
What were the disadvantages of Henry rifles?
The original Henry rifle had a fragile toggle-link action, an exposed tubular magazine that collected dirt, no wooden forestock making the barrel hot to handle, and no loading gate requiring the magazine to be loaded from the front. It was also expensive to manufacture.
Does Henry make a 44-40 rifle?
Yes, Henry Repeating Arms makes the 1860 Henry Rifle in .44-40, currently available in 12 variants with prices typically around $1,651.
Is 44-40 ammo hard to find?
44-40 is genuinely hard to find. Even major online retailers like MidwayUSA and Brownells frequently have it out of stock. Local gun shops rarely carry it. When you do find it, expect to pay a premium. Most 44-40 owners reload their own ammunition because sourcing factory rounds is so difficult.
How many 1860 Henry rifles were made?
The New Haven Arms Company manufactured approximately 14,000 Henry rifles between 1860 and 1866. Iron frame examples from the earliest production (serial numbers 1–400) are rarest, with only 200–275 estimated to survive today. Most production used brass frames.
Do Henry rifles hold value?
Henry rifles hold value reasonably well, particularly in mint condition. Condition is the primary factor—scratches, dents, and worn finish significantly reduce resale prices. Specific models and calibers also affect value, with some variants more sought after than others.
Which was better, the Henry or the Winchester rifle?
That depends on your priorities. The original Henry (1860) held more rounds and had a faster action, but its tube-loaded magazine was fragile. The Winchester Model 1873 added a stronger receiver and a wooden forestock, making it more practical for field use. Most shooters favored the Winchester.
