Henry Repeating Arms Big Boy Side Gate .45 Colt Polished Brass Receiver with Blued Steel Barrel Lever Action Rifle

A: Tim, this gun is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, or you could ad a rail for a scope, the Big Boy 2nd Generation Weaver Style Basr (H006). Available here >>> https://henrypride.com/products/rifle-scope-mounts?variant=18464027206 There are many scopes available, but to recommend a scope, more info is needed, such as -what kind of hunting/shooting, distance, budget. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Hi Tim and welcome. For versatility I would recommend the Picatinny Scope mount : https://henrypride.com/products/rifle-scope-mounts?variant=18464027206 --- Medium height scop rings : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/37324/utg+rgwm25m4+medinum+profile+rings+picatinny+weaver+1+medium+black+matte+anodized - And a Sightmark Core HX 3-9x 40mm - https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/31655/sightmark+sm13068vhr+core+hx+3-9x+40mm+obj+35.40-12.20+ft+@+100+yds+fov+1+tube+matte+black+finish+venison+hunter+reticle+vhr

A: This model is Drilled & Tapped to accept scope mounts. A piccatinny rail mount will give you more options for a scope/optics though. Good Luck!!

A: Assuming that means a 1911 in .45 ACP, no. .45 Long Colt also known as just .45 Colt is a rimmed cartridge that is not interchangeable with .45 ACP.

A: Hi Fred and welcome. No. 1991 uses 45ACP which is a rimless cartridge, and the Big Boy uses 45 Long Colt which is a rimmed cartridge. Difference pictured here: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Flearned-a-lesson-today-45-colt-is-not-the-same-as-45-acp-v0-p0h36y631u5d1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D314%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Db58bc61b9f9225c4c8bf83aaf3fa379b124fdfb6

A: No, the Big Boy is chambered for .45 Long Colt which is a rimmed cartridge. The .45 ACP is a rimless cartridge. Not interchangeable.
