Henry for B-Western

[Ramblin Randy]

There was another forum on B-Western rifles and someone posted that the Henry Big Boy is legal for B-Western. This does not sound right in my reading of the rules but no one on the forum disputed it. I was going to reply for confirmation but the thread got off track and is now closed.

 

So is the Henry Big Boy brass .357 legal for B-Western or not?

 

Thanks.

Thank you all for the clarifications. I was confused by the Henry name and thought there was some connection to the 1866 rifle. Now I know that the modern Henry is more of an old west tribute rifle not a copy of any previous rifle.

You mean 1860.

Right, 1860 Henry not to be confused with the 1866 WInchester Yellowboy or the modern (Old Westish) Henry Big Boy.
