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

The Henry Mare's Leg 22lr 12.9" Black Pistol is a compact, lever-action firearm purpose-built for shooters who value rapid follow-up shots and nostalgic handling in a highly portable platform. Based on Henry Repeating Arms' legendary H001 lever-action design, this cut-down variant delivers the crisp, reliable action that made the original famous—now scaled for scenarios demanding shorter sight radius, lighter recoil, and quick-handling characteristics.

Core to the Mare's Leg's performance is its 12.9-inch barrel paired with American walnut furniture and a 3/8" grooved receiver that accommodates optics mounting. The large loop lever enables fast cycling without breaking grip or sight picture—critical for repetitive, controlled fire at distance or close quarters. The fully adjustable rear sight provides windage and elevation correction for precision out to typical .22 LR effective ranges. At 5.25 pounds, the rifle-pistol hybrid balances control and portability, making it equally viable for range training, pest control, or recreational shooting where .22 LR's low recoil and ammunition cost deliver superior practice value per round.

This platform serves shooters and trainers seeking a hands-on, manually-operated .22 that rewards technique development without the fatigue of centerfire recoil. The compact overall length (26.25 inches) fits tight shooting houses, vehicles, and sport contexts where maneuverability matters. Lever-action mechanics appeal to operators valuing mechanical reliability, trigger control discipline, and ammunition versatility—.22 LR cycles flawlessly across standard and high-velocity loads without adjustments. Henry's reputation for quality control and fit-and-finish makes this Mare's Leg a serious platform for serious shooters prioritizing repeatability and fun factor.
