The Henry Model H010 .45-70 is a side eject, solid top lever action carbine that looks quite similar to the Marlin at first glance. The pistol grip stock and forearm are walnut with a smoother dark finish and shallower machine cut checkering than the Marlin. The forearm seems thin in the hand compared to the Marlin’s wide forearm. The butt of the Henry has a substantial vented recoil pad and sling swivel studs are provided.

There is no safety switch mounted in the receiver, as Henry is equipped with an internal transfer bar safety that prevents hammer contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. There is also no half cock hammer notch on the Henry. The exposed hammer is either fully cocked or resting against the receiver.

There is no side loading port cut into the receiver. Load is by means of a brass loading tube, similar to the under barrel feeding tubes of many .22 rifles. It is secured with substantial plastic bands and is equipped with sling swivel studs. Tube feed loading is a design feature common to all Henry rifles, I assume to remain similar to the original Henry rifle of 1860. The tube is opened by pushing down to free a short pin from a retaining slot then turned to allow the tube to be removed. A cartridge slot is cut midway down the loading tube housing to allow loading without fully removing the tube. The Henry is also equipped with standard XS Ghost Ring sights with a white strip clearly visible on the front sight post. The finish is matte blue on the receiver and barrel, less refined than the 1895G, but not as crude as on the 1895GBL Marlin.
