Henry Repeating Arms Mare's Leg 22lr 12.9" Walnut Stock Pistol

The Henry Repeating Arms Mare's Leg 22lr 12.9" Walnut Stock Pistol represents a modern interpretation of a classic lever-action design, purpose-built for shooters who demand compact portability without sacrificing functional accuracy. Originally developed for close-quarters work and training scenarios, this pistol-grip lever-action carbine fills a unique niche between full-size rifles and handguns, making it ideal for ranch work, pest control, and recreational shooting where a lightweight, maneuverable platform is essential. At 5.25 pounds with a 12.9-inch barrel, the Mare's Leg delivers genuine rifle ergonomics in a package that handles like a large-frame pistol.

This model chambers .22 Long Rifle ammunition, leveraging the efficient lever-action mechanism that Henry has perfected over decades of manufacturing. The walnut stock provides a professional, traditional aesthetic while offering reliable grip texture and ergonomic control during rapid cycling. The 12.9-inch barrel length produces the velocity and sight radius necessary for precise shot placement at typical working distances—25 to 50 yards—while remaining substantially more compact than a standard carbine. The lever-action design cycles smoothly, reduces recoil management requirements, and eliminates the need for external safety switches, making it instantly intuitive for tactical training and field applications where speed and simplicity matter.

Law enforcement trainers, civilian self-defense practitioners, and outdoor professionals benefit most from the Mare's Leg's combination of firepower and portability. The .22 Long Rifle cartridge offers low recoil for extended training sessions, reduced noise signature in populated areas, and cost-effective ammunition availability—critical factors for agencies and individuals conducting high-volume skill drills. Vehicle-based operators, property managers, and livestock handlers appreciate its compact footprint for close-quarters deployment from confined spaces. The walnut furniture and polished receiver require standard rifle maintenance protocols; regular cleaning and lubrication ensure reliable lever cycling and hammer function under field conditions.
