Henry Model: H012GCC

Post by XJP5 » Mon Sep 19, 2022 1:39 pm

Reposted from New Member Section:

Hello! New Member from Arizona. Learned about the Henry Forums due to my interest in the rifle platform. Looking for assistance in sourcing the following model (new). This will be my first Henry Lever-Action:

Henry Big Boy Color-Case Hardened Side Gate: Model H012GCC
20" Octagon Blued Steel
10 rounds (.44 Magnum/ .44 Special)
Link: https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/big-boy ... side-gate/

I've been searching for quite some time now, with no luck. Contacted many local dealers and have been told "none are available, and cannot place an order for one." Have also checked major online dealers such as Bud's, which I've ordered from in the past. Currently out of stock on Model H012GCC.

If any members know of a dealer with this model in stock, I would appreciate the leads. Contacted Henry customer support some time ago, but never received a response, which was a bit disappointing, but I'm sure they are short-handed, like everyone else these days.

Thank you,
XJP5

Good luck in your search. I know what it's like to set your sights on a particular rifle.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Thank you Cofisher. Seems like it's been a struggle to find specific products within the past couple years. Bud's came through for me on a Sig Sauer P320 pistol I purchased a few months ago, but that too was difficult to find.

I have online websites set to alert me but I'm trying to find out why my local dealers have not seen this specific model in such a long time. Some are Henry Gold dealers. This H012GCC model was announced by Henry back in January 2018, 4-3/4 years ago. Hardly a new release. I may email Anthony directly to see if he has any suggestions, since support never responded.

SAGA22, thanks, definitely a nice one. It has a round barrel vs the Octagonal one I'm looking for, plus this appears to be a custom rifle, about $552.00 above Henry MSRP. A bit more than I'm looking for but super nice! Thanks for your suggestion, much appreciated! :D

I am on a couple of "alert when in stock" lists for the same rifle. Sportsman's emailed me that it was in stock and gone by the time I was able to look.

Haven't experienced that with this Henry but I've had that happen quite a few times with other products, for sure.

Well, I did speak to one of Henry's "Gold" dealers today via phone, and the information this person gave me did not leave me with much hope of seeing one of these lever action rifles any time soon. He said they are unable to keep production up anywhere close to the demand, which is NOT a surprise to anyone here. What did surprise me is that he said he used to always have 10 - 15 Henry's in stock (a variety of models), from the distributor (pre-pandemic). He has not had one since. He said the distributors have not had them in stock for quite some time.

Maybe you guys are hearing something different? Let us know. Appreciate the knowledge transfer if anyone has better inside information on what is happening in this supply chain. Best regards,

I just bought that model at Kittery trading post in Kittery, Maine 2 weeks ago. They only had that one. Maybe give them a call and check them out online.
