While they are fond of the brass tradition begun by B.T.
Henry's 1860 rifle, they do understand that today's hunter may prefer something
a shade lighter on the mountain, and the Big Boy Steel Side Gate carries on the
same brush gun appeal of the brass-framed Big Boys in its overall
configuration, but with upgraded features for the modern hunter, while weighing
in 1.68lbs. less than its cousin. These Side Gate models come in .357 Mag/.38
Special, .44 Mag/.44 Special, and .45 Colt, with either a standard 20" round
barrel and regular lever, or a compact 16.5" round barrel and a large-loop
lever for gloved cold-weather use and extra style points. Both models feature
fine checkering on the genuine American walnut fore-end and straight-wrist
stock, range-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front sights, an
automatic in-hammer transfer bar safety, and their best-of-both-worlds side
loading gate and removable tube magazine configuration. Rifles hold ten rounds
in the tube, and carbines hold seven.
