New ColorCaseHardened 45 Colt Big Boy
Picked up my Big Boy the other day.
Having never owned a Henry rifle before I am impressed! The action cycles better than other lever actions I have owned/used. The trigger is heavy but breaks crisp and clean. I haven't put a scale on the trigger.
The wood is gorgeous. The color case hardening is amazing.
Once I discovered Henry sold a Big Boy in 45 Colt that is CCH, I just had to have one. I look forward to shooting this fine American firearm.

Finn, fine looking .45 Henry there. You going to handload for it? Perfect fit for the revolver to boot!

Thanks! Yes, reloading is in the future plans. I'm just getting spooled up for reloading, after some time away from the bench.
I like the look and the fit/finish of this gun so much that I might get one in 44 mag as well!

Congrats on the new CCH I have one in 357 and 45-70. The CCH models are definitely a favorite of mine.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: New ColorCaseHardened 45 Colt Big Boy
The CCH is well done. So much so that the faux CCH of the revolver has got me considering sending the revolver frame in to a reputable shop to have it done properly. I've done some price checking and it isn't too expensive if I just send the disassembled frame. I've stripped down RBH's before for deep cleaning and found it easy enough. I've just never removed a barrel. Not sure if I need specialty tools to do that.

Re: New ColorCaseHardened 45 Colt Big Boy
Very nice combo there with the new Henry and Ruger Vaquero! I have the CCH BB in .357 and also the BBS Carbine in .44 Mag.
Both are very nice shooters! Tyler Gunworks I think is the company that does the CCH for Henry and would be the place to go for a match.
Here is my .357 combo with the Henry and Cimarron "EvilRoy" .357 revolver.
Notice that rear sight on the Henry which really helped with my shooting.
