Henry produces, hands down, some of the best-looking lever action rifles on the market in their brass and silver models, but as a part of their aggressive expansion in to the more utilitarian side of life with newer steel centerfires meant for everyday life in the truck, on the farm, and through the woods, in 2016 they introduce the hard-working All-Weather H010AW in .45-70.
In profile and general dimensions, this rifle is essentially the same as its blued steel counterpart, with an 18.43" round barrel with a 4-shot magazine, and an adjustable buckhorn/bead sight.
In a tough world where a working rifle might be “rode hard and put away wet”, this is the finish you want on it. A very strong plating permanently bonded to the steel underneath, hard chrome doesn’t flake, chip, or peel, and its corrosion resistance is actually stronger than some stainless steels. The treatment we use increases surface hardness, reduces friction on moving parts, doesn’t normally scuff or scratch, and leaves a low-gloss look that won’t spook game.
I've always heard about these All Weather Henrys and had to see for myself what all the hooplah was about, the first round shot and I was sold!! Smooth action and realizable feed makes this the best purchase I've ever made, and currently on Henry to send my side load they just came out with!!
