Given the historic breakthroughs achieved with the Henry rifle, Winchester® improved on its design to make it even more useful on both the range and the battlefield. In 1866, they introduced Nelson King’s patented spring-steel loading gate, as well as a wood fore-end for added comfort. These changes led to the creation of the Yellowboy, the earliest version of the quintessential cowboy rifle whose lines and basic functioning survive to this day.
