Several years ago my Navy son lived in Portland ME. We visited, and I went to L.L. Bean's home office to browse. In their sporting goods store they were selling replicas of Henry's circa Civil War. I just asked to look at one and hold it to my shoulder.

I was surprised as to how heavy it was.

If I had $700.00 with no claims on it, I would have bought one that day. It shot .45 Long Colt rounds which is what I make for my Peacemaker.

I never learned the actual weight, but it felt heavy. I still would love to own one.

I have a Henry Big Boy in 45 Colt I use for CAS and it is indeed heavy, but a hoot to shoot.
