The '''Henry 1860''' is a lever action, breech loading rifle (with front-loading magazine). This appeared as a construction improvement on the unfortunate [[Volcanic Repeater]]. The first 400 of the 14,000 rifles made were produced with an iron frame instead of the commonly seen brass frame.  Brass was added in late 1862 as production picked up. Henry rifles were far too expensive ($45 to $65 each) to be issued in large numbers during the Civil War (in comparison, a common Enfield Rifle cost $14), but many Union soldiers used their pay to purchase them on their own. The Henry was famously referred to as "that damned Yankee rifle that can be loaded on Sunday and fired all week” by Confederate Col. John Mosby.

Henry rifles were far too expensive ($45 to $65 each) to be issued in large numbers during the Civil War (in comparison, a common Enfield Rifle cost $14).  The Copper rounds used 28 grains of black powder and cost 1.6 cents each (about 4 times the price of muzzle loading ammo), most were purchased by individual soldiers with their own money. Twelve thousand were produced from 1862 to 1865 and sales slowed when the War ended.  110,000 1866 (Yellow Boy- side loading gate) Henry Rifles were made up to the introduction of the famous Winchester 1873 model.  The "Yellow Boy" Henry is the one used in the film ''[[Silverado]]''.

Further design refinement by Nelson King led to the [[Winchester Model 1866]], nicknamed the "Yellow Boy" in the United States for its flamboyant brass receiver.


It is worth noting that due to the rarity of the original rifles (and replicas were not available for a long time), many films used the [[Winchester Model 1866]] (and in some cases, even the later rifles, such as the [[Winchester Model 1892|Model 1892]]) with the forend removed as a stand-in; they can usually be distinguished by the presence of a loading gate, and a different magazine tube mount.

Henry 1860 brass-frame - .44 Rimfire (RF).

The Henry 1860 is a lever action, breech loading rifle (with front-loading magazine). This appeared as a construction improvement on the unfortunate Volcanic Repeater. The first 400 of the 14,000 rifles made were produced with an iron frame instead of the commonly seen brass frame. Brass was added in late 1862 as production picked up. Henry rifles were far too expensive ($45 to $65 each) to be issued in large numbers during the Civil War (in comparison, a common Enfield Rifle cost $14), but many Union soldiers used their pay to purchase them on their own. The Henry was famously referred to as "that damned Yankee rifle that can be loaded on Sunday and fired all week” by Confederate Col. John Mosby.

The copper rounds used 28 grains of black powder and cost 1.6 cents each (about four times the price of muzzle loading ammo); most were purchased by individual soldiers with their own money. Twelve thousand were produced from 1862 to 1865 and sales slowed when the war ended.

Further design refinement by Nelson King led to the Winchester Model 1866, nicknamed the "Yellow Boy" in the United States for its flamboyant brass receiver.

It is worth noting that due to the rarity of the original rifles (and replicas were not available for a long time), many films used the Winchester Model 1866 (and in some cases, even the later rifles, such as the Model 1892) with the forend removed as a stand-in; they can usually be distinguished by the presence of a loading gate, and a different magazine tube mount.
