Henry H001ML Mare's Leg .22 LR Lever Action 12.88" Barrel Walnut

The Henry H001ML Mare's Leg transforms the classic lever-action design into a compact, maneuverable platform that excels in tight spaces and close-quarters situations. This .22 caliber variant delivers the reliability Henry is known for in a shortened configuration that accepts .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard rifles, the Mare's Leg configuration features a drastically shortened 12.88-inch barrel and pistol-grip stock that creates an overall length of just 25 inches. The lever-action mechanism cycles smoothly through all three .22 rimfire cartridge lengths without adjustment. This design provides rifle-like accuracy in a package that handles like an oversized pistol.

Key Features

• 12.88-inch round steel barrel with traditional blued finish
• American walnut stock and forend with oil finish

• Tubular magazine holds up to 12 Long Rifle cartridges

The Mare's Leg configuration excels in scenarios where maneuverability matters more than long-range precision. Ranch work, pest control in barns or outbuildings, and recreational shooting all benefit from the compact design. The .22 caliber chambering provides economical shooting with minimal recoil, while the lever action offers faster follow-up shots than bolt-action alternatives.
