Henry Color Case Hardened 45-70 Gov’t Overview
Side Gate models add a loading gate on the receiver alongside Henry’s traditional tube loading, so you can top off the magazine through the side or empty it quickly through the tube. Henry builds its firearms in the USA and backs them with a strong warranty and well-regarded customer service.
Design and Features
This version uses an Octagon Blued Steel barrel measuring 22 inches with a 1:20 rate of twist. The receiver is finished in Color Case Hardened Steel. The stock is American Walnut with a Checkered Pistol Grip design. Extras include Swivel Studs, Side Gate. For optics, the receiver offers Drilled and Tapped.
Handling in the Field
Henry lever guns are light, slim, and balanced, so they carry easily in the woods and come up to the shoulder quickly. With a 6-round capacity you have plenty on hand for a day of hunting or plinking. Most Henry rifles load through a tube in the magazine, which is simple and safe: you never have to cycle live rounds through the action to unload.
Action and Trigger
The lever cycles smoothly with a short throw, and the trigger is crisp for a lever gun. The safety is a transfer bar (half-cock) design; Henry’s transfer bar system means the rifle will not fire unless the trigger is pulled.
Sights and Optics
It comes with Brass Bead front and Fully Adj. Semi-Buckhorn w/ Diamond Insert rear sights. The receiver is set up for optics (Drilled and Tapped), so you can add a scope or red dot if you prefer.
The 45-70 Gov’t Cartridge
The 45-70 Gov’t offers a good balance of power, accuracy, and recoil for its intended use.
Setup and Accessories
Start with a quality optic and solid rings or a mount, then add a sling for carrying and a bipod or shooting bag for steady rests. Test a few loads for accuracy and settle on the one your rifle likes best. A hard case protects your investment on the way to the range or the field.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the rifle and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the bolt face and chamber. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.

State Laws
Magazine capacity limits, feature restrictions, and transfer rules vary by state and locality. Check your local laws before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer if you are unsure whether this configuration is legal where you live.
