If you are talking about the Uberti made replica of the Henry, they are only chambered for 45 Colt and 44-40. The Henry is a heavy gun because the barrel and magazine are machined from one solid bar of steel. Drilling a 38 sized hole (.357) would make it even heavier.

The 1866 on the other hand is chambered for 45 Colt, 44-40, and 38 Special.

Check out Dixie Gunworks. They often run sales. They have a '66 carbine chambered for 38 Special on sale right now for under $1000. They have a couple of other calibers too, but the 38 is on special. I bought my Henry from Dixie a bunch of years ago and saved $200 off the list price. But you have to act quick, when they run out of that particular model, the sale will be over.
