Henry Big Boy X Model: Tactical Lever Action with M-Lok Versatility

As field operators and instructors we value gear that blends classic mechanics with modern modularity. The right lever-action carbine can be equally at home on a controlled range drill, a brush-hunt stand, or staged as a home-defense option — provided it’s set up correctly and maintained with discipline.

HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL delivers that balance with a thoughtful set of features tailored to hands-on users. Shop this product

What the HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL brings to the table

The HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL builds on a proven lever-action lineage but adds modern attachment points and ergonomics. It features durable synthetic furniture with integrated sling mounting points, a solid rubber recoil pad for comfort, and both Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots for versatile accessory placement. The carbine-length barrel (17.5″) is fitted with highly visible fiber optic sights fore and aft, and the muzzle is threaded (5/824 thread pitch) with a screw-on thread protector for when a suppressor or muzzle device isn’t mounted. The rifle retains a 7-round removable tube magazine and includes a side loading gate so you can keep the magazine topped off even with a tube accessory or suppressor installed.

Key features explained

Synthetic furniture with mounting points

The synthetic stock improves durability in wet or abrasive environments while lowering weight. Integrated mounting points simplify sling attachment and placement; run it as a truck gun or carry it in the field without fumbling for aftermarket attachment hardware.

Picatinny rail and M-Lok slots

Adding both Picatinny and M-Lok makes the platform flexible. Picatinny gives you immediate, repeatable scope or red dot mounting, while M-Lok slots allow low-profile mounting of lights, backup irons, or quick-detach bipods. This modular approach eliminates the need for a gunsmith for simple setups.

Threaded muzzle (5/824 thread pitch) and screw-on protector

The muzzle is threaded to accept suppressors or compensators — and the screw-on thread protector preserves those threads when devices aren’t attached. If you plan to add a suppressor, note the provided 5/824 thread pitch specification when selecting compatible devices and adaptors.

7-round removable tube magazine + side loading gate

The 7-round removable tube magazine is true to lever-action practicality but modernized through removability and the side loading gate. Top off the tube without removing the magazine or a suppressor — a small feature that pays dividends in convenience during extended range sessions or field use.

Caliber considerations: .357 Magnum / .38 Special

The HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL is chambered for .357 Magnum/.38 Special, a combination prized for versatility. .38 Special provides soft-recoiling, economical practice rounds; .357 Magnum delivers higher energy for defensive or hunting applications. The cartridge mix makes this rifle suitable for close-range brush hunting, predator control, or compact defensive carriage inside a vehicle or residence. Controlled follow-up shots are natural with lever-action ergonomics when you practice proper cycling and sight alignment on the fiber optic sights.

Ergonomics and handling

The large loop lever allows gloved operation and faster cycling for shooters who prefer a pronounced lever purchase. The solid rubber recoil pad manages felt recoil from magnum loads, and the carbine-length barrel balances maneuverability with ballistic performance. Combined with the visible fiber optic sights, the setup supports fast, practical follow-up shots for tactical or hunting transitions.

Accessories and setup recommendations

When planning accessories, prioritize a low-profile red dot on the Picatinny rail for rapid target acquisition, a short weapon light on the M-Lok for low-light utility, and a sling attached to the integrated mounts for retention and carry. For hearing-conscious ranges or states with suppressor allowances, consider a compatible suppressor that matches the 5/824 thread pitch. View product details and pricing

Mounting optics

Given the drilled and tapped brass receiver provision, installation of a dedicated scope base or red-dot riser is straightforward. Keep eye relief and sight height in mind so the fiber optic sights remain available as backup if you need them.

Maintenance and longevity

Maintenance on the HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL follows standard lever-action practices: keep the tube magazine clean and dry, inspect the side loading gate and threads periodically, and treat the synthetic stock and rubber recoil pad with light care to avoid unnecessary wear. The screw-on thread protector helps preserve muzzle threads and reduces the risk of cross-threading when not using a muzzle device.

Price and purchasing

At $873.99, this rifle sits in a place where functionality meets modern features. That price reflects the added modularity — Picatinny rail, M-Lok slots, synthetic furniture with sling mounts, threaded barrel, and the practical side-loading tube. If you’re comparing options, weigh how much value you place on out-of-the-box accessory compatibility and the ease of mounting a suppressor or optics.

Field assessment

From a practical standpoint, the HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL is a modern take on a classic platform. The combination of fiber optic sights, threaded muzzle, M-Lok and Picatinny adaptability, and a side-loading tube magazine makes it a versatile tool that can be optimized quickly for specific missions — whether that mission is range training, close-range hunting, or a compact defensive setup. For shooters who appreciate lever-action reliability but want contemporary attachment options, this model answers that need without heavy modification.
