Big Horn Armory

Big Horn Armory started in 2008, with the expressed purpose of designing a Browning type lever action gun, chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The principals and employees of Big Horn Armory have many years’ experience in the firearms industry. We are dedicated to making All American guns. We committed several years to refining and perfecting the design, sizing the action specifically to this cartridge. We call it our Model 89. It seemed an obvious choice, since the size of the action is just about halfway between a Model 1886 and Model 1892. The design closely follows the work of John Browning, with some modern refinements guided mostly by modern metallurgy and machining techniques. We only make guns that we would be proud to own ourselves. As such, our commitment to quality, fit and finish rivals that seen in custom only guns.
