Henry Classic Lever Action .22 Rimfire, 18.5 in Barrel, Walnut Stock, Blued Finish, Hooded Front/Adjustable Semi-Buckhorn Sights
This Henry Repeating Arms Classic Lever Action .22 stands out for its early-production barrel marking "MADE IN U.S.A. BKLYN, N.Y." and its versatile rimfire chambering. It pairs a blued steel barrel with a glossy black alloy receiver and a straight-grip walnut stock. The receiver top includes integral 3/8 in dovetail grooves for tip-off rings, and the bore is excellent with a clean, mirror finish and sharp rifling.
The round 18.5 in barrel is secured by two bands: a rear barrel band at the front of the fore-end and a separate front/muzzle band that clamps the barrel and retains the magazine tube, keeping the rifle light and well-balanced at 5.25 lb. Traditional iron sights include a hooded blade front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear, offering a classic sight picture for small-game or range use.
Chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, the tubular magazine provides capacities of 21, 17, and 15 rounds respectively. The standard-size lever loop, 13.75 in length of pull, and 36.5 in overall length contribute to its familiar handling characteristics.
Built in the United States and part of Henry’s Classic Lever Action series, this rifle features a 1/4-cock hammer notch for safety. Materials and finishes are traditional: a blued steel barrel, glossy black alloy receiver cover, and a walnut stock with a straight grip and black molded buttplate.
