The 1866 Yellowboy Rifle was a marked improvement over the Henry rifle. It became a worldwide hit.
It had a convenient new type of loading gate devised by Winchester plant superintendent Nelson King. It passed cartridges through the side of the receiver. This improvement made the lever action more functional and allowed for the installation of a wooden forend.
