Our Assessment: From Henry’s website, “The H010B Brass Lever Action .45-70 receiver is made of hardened brass fitted to a deep blued steel 22? octagon barrel with a removable tubular magazine of four-round capacity.
Its straight-grip buttstock and brass-capped forend are crafted of beautiful American walnut. The model H010B is factory issued with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and a brass beaded front sight. Because the receiver is drilled and tapped, scope mounting is an easy option. For those seeking classic good looks combined with a time-honored Old West cartridge, the H010B deserves a spot in your safe and whatever adventure you decide to take it on from there.” The rifle is very clean, appearing only to have been shot a couple times, if at all.
