Cimarron 1860 Henry Rifle Civil War Model Lever Action Rifle 44-40 Winchester 24" Barrel 12 Rounds Walnut Stock Charcoal Blue Finish

Although only 1,731 of the revolutionary Henry repeating rifles were ordered by the U.S. government during the War Between the States, a number of private soldiers, as well as several regiments ordered these lever-action rifles through their own funds, such as those purchased by the celebrated 7th Illinois Infantry. Military-style Henry rifles bearing sling swivels and the stamped initials from government inspector Charles G. Chapman were also known to have been officially issued to the 1st Maine and the 1st District of Columbia Cavalry Regiments. Over 200 of these issue Henrys were captured from the 1st D.C. Regiment and in turn issued by the Confederates to their 7th, 11th and 35th Virginia Cavalry Regiments. The Rebs that faced them in the hands of Union soldiers dubbed them "that damned Yankee rifle that was loaded on Sunday and shot all week!" Cimarron offers a dead ringer of these military Henry rifles, reproduced from an original in our antique collection! All Henry rifles were originally manufactured by the New Haven Arms Co., and like those 1860s-era rifles, our reproduction comes complete with the original-type sling swivels, and C.G.C. inspector's stampings.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 44-40 Winchester (44 WCF) was introduced by Winchester in 1873 in their Model 1873 lever action. The '73, "the gun that won the West," was the first truly successful repeater, and its 44-40 cartridge was quickly adopted by other manufacturers, including both Colt and Smith & Wesson in revolvers. Using a .427-inch bullet, the standard load features a 200-grain bullet at about 1100 feet per second, producing 588 foot-pounds of energy. This is not a lot of power, but the 44-40 was probaby the most popular sporting cartridge of the 19th Century, accounting for untold amounts of game. It remained the most popular chambering in the 1892 Winchester, and was a common chambering in both rifles and handguns at least through the 1940s. The growth in Cowboy Action shooting has revived it; the 44-40 has less recoil than the 45 Colt, and serves as a common chambering for rifles and revolvers. Ammo is readily available and it is chambered to numerous reissues and reproductions. — Craig Boddington
