Henry H0243855 Side Gate Full Size 38-55 Win 5+1 20" Lever-Action Rifle

The Henry H0243855 Side Gate is a full-size lever-action rifle chambered in the classic .38-55 Winchester cartridge, blending vintage styling with modern American craftsmanship. It pairs a 20" round blued steel barrel with a polished brass receiver and an American walnut stock, capturing the look of the lever rifles that originally chambered this cartridge.

Built around Henry's proven lever-action mechanism, the Side Gate loads through a side loading gate on the receiver in addition to the tubular magazine, offering a quick and traditional way to top off. The hardened brass receiver is built to deliver the same yield and tensile strength as steel while providing the warm, polished finish Henry brass-receiver rifles are known for. A transfer bar safety helps prevent accidental discharge, and the smooth lever cycle supports fast follow-up shots in the field.

The 20" blued steel barrel is fitted with a traditional ivory bead front sight and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, giving shooters a clean iron-sight picture right out of the box. Rifled with a 1:18" twist, the barrel pairs naturally with this classic .38-55 cartridge. At 38.30" overall length and approximately 7.50 lbs, the rifle balances well between the hands for offhand shooting and carries comfortably in the field.

The American walnut stock is finished in a warm brown/tan tone that complements the polished brass and blued barrel. Built as a right-hand, full-size configuration, the H0243855 is a natural fit for hunting, target shooting, and collectors who appreciate the revival of a classic American cartridge in a reliable, modern lever-action platform.
