Again:
The rimfire Henry leverguns use the same sophisticated injection-molded Zamak 5 alloy in both the internal (actual) receiver & the external receiver cover.
On the "black" covers of the basic entry level rimfire models a dark coating is applied.
On the brass-toned Golden Boy models the cover is nickel-plated, then the brass-colored surface is applied, and that surface gets a clear coating.
On the silver-toned Henry rimfire levergun models the covers are nickeled & obviously the brass coating is not applied.
No rimfire Henry receiver or cover is brass.
No steel is used in any Henry rimfire levergun receiver or receiver cover.
The brass centerfire leverguns use a bronze/aluminum alloy that's hardened sufficiently to easily handle the pressures of the calibers used in each model.
Those receivers are cast.
The steel centerfire leverguns use a forged 4140 steel receiver.
