The 1866 Lever Action ("Yellowboy") Rifle was a marked improvement over the Henry rifle. It became a worldwide hit. The Yellowboy includes the recreation of 3 of the most popular 1866 Lever Action Rifle models: Yellowboy Carbine with 19 inch barrel and carbine-style brass buttplate, Yellowboy Short Rifle with 20 inch barrel, brass fore-end nose cap and solid brass crescent buttplate, and Yellowboy Rifle, with 24-1/4 inch barrel, brass fore-end nose cap and solid brass crescent buttplate.
