The Henry USA company currently produces rifles inspired by the classic Henry 1860 design, as well as modern replicas of it.
Henry Big Boy
This modern rifle, while superficially reminiscent of the Winchester Model 1866, is structurally close to the Henry 1860, including a front-loading tubular magazine. The side gate is actually an ejection port, similar to Marlin Model 336. Variants with the side loading gate are also available. However, the magazine tube is still removable for easy unloading.
Henry All-Weather Lever Action
Model with extra durable coating for harsh conditions. While being a modern weapon, it retains the loading system of the 1860, modified slightly to allow for a handguard to be fitted to the rifle. A magazine tube is removed from the weapon and individual rounds are loaded into it, then it is pushed back into the tube under the barrel. Chambered for .45-70 Government.
