Which is it?

[clarkford]

For the Henry lever action rifles, are they called Golden Boys or Yellow Boys when they have brass?

 

[Rangr44]

The brass (brasslite) receivered rimfire Henrys are "Golden Boys" and the brass Henry centerfires are "Big Boys".

IIRC, "Yellowboys" refers to original & repro 1860 Henry real-brass, brass-framed rifles.

Golden Boys.

We can't be haven' an "old west" rifle called "yeller" now can we?
