HENRY ALL-WEATHER PICATINNY RAIL .45-70 SIDE GATE

Key features and build quality

The HENRY ALL-WEATHER PICATINNY RAIL .45-70 SIDE GATE ships with an 18.43″ round barrel and a 4-round magazine capacity, combining compact handling with potent ballistics. Henry’s satin hard chrome plating is permanently bonded to the steel barrel and receiver—this finish is engineered not to flake, chip, or peel and offers corrosion resistance that can exceed many stainless options. That makes it ideal for truck beds, rainy fields, and humid timberlines.

Stock and ergonomics are addressed with a stained hardwood stock treated with a durable coating to resist scratches, moisture, and temperature swing. The rifle includes adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front sights for fast target acquisition, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optics with an integrated Picatinny rail for modern sighting solutions. Sling swivel studs and a ventilated rubber recoil pad come installed for comfortable carry and recoil mitigation.

Practical advantages of the .45-70 in a lever platform

The .45-70 Government cartridge paired with a short, 18.43″ barrel excels at close- to medium-range work where heavy projectile energy and reliable penetration matter. This makes the rifle suitable for large-game hunting, ranch defense, and emergency vehicle carry. The side loading gate simplifies topping off the magazine without cycling the action, while the removable magazine tube provides a safe, straightforward method to fully unload the rifle before storage or transit.

Modern adaptability

The Picatinny rail opens options for low-power variable optics or red dot systems, improving accuracy in low-light or fast-paced scenarios. Combined with the drilled-and-tapped receiver, the platform supports individual setup preferences without permanent gunsmithing changes.
