Just thought I would introduce myself. I live in central NY and have been involved in muzzleloader shooting for over 40 years, mostly flintlock longrifles. I just bought a new Big Boy 44mag Henry and am looking forward to getting out and shooting it. I would have loved to get the original henry but wouldn't you know it, not legal here in NYS. I look forward to all you have to offer. I haven't shoot a modern rifle in over 40 years.

Welcome to forum from the Shenandoah Valley. Hard to fathom that a remake of a 150 yr old rifle design is banned in the state of New York.....

It's because it holds 13 rounds. Our infamous safe act calls that an assault rifle. I did a lot of checking and could have driven into Pa. and bought one but if I took it hunting and a game warden saw me with it I would get ticked for it and loose the rifle. I just thought to play it safe for now. I may some day still get the 1860 model.

That is unfortunate. After Newtown, CT restricted a magazine of more than 10 rounds, but it doesn't apply to lever action rifles.

our Henry BBS 44 mag is one heck of a rifle ..... I have no doubt you will enjoy firing it and no question whatsoever about it being able to do a very good job for you

Welcome from huge left Coast.
You couldn't have made a better move from muzzle loading to lever action with a Henry!

Hi Jim Welcome from another muzzleloader lover. I still love shooting muzzies alot but leverguns are also a great love. Im still playing with the flinters but I love both cap and flint. I have a couple of GRRW Hawkens one in 50 and one in 58 caliber. 58 is my favorite cal. Hawkens are also a love of mine. Al
