Navy Arms produced the 1860 Henry rifle from 1973 to 1999. The company is known for its reproduction firearms, and the Henry rifle was one of its notable offerings. These reproductions were designed to capture the historical essence of the original Henry rifle, which was first produced in the 1860s.
