The Henry H006GML Mare's Leg combines the legendary reliability of Henry firearms with the convenience of side gate loading in a compact 44 Magnum platform. This distinctive lever-action pistol delivers big-bore performance in situations where traditional rifles prove too cumbersome.
What Makes This Different
The side gate loading system sets this Mare's Leg apart from traditional tube-fed Henry rifles, allowing shooters to load cartridges individually without opening the action. The octagon barrel profile provides enhanced rigidity compared to round barrels, contributing to improved accuracy potential. The polished hardened brass receiver offers superior corrosion resistance while maintaining the classic Henry aesthetic that collectors and shooters recognize.
Key Features
- Side gate loading for tactical reloads and topped-off chambers
- 12.9-inch octagon barrel with deep-cut rifling for 44 Magnum accuracy
- Polished hardened brass receiver with weather-resistant finish
- American walnut furniture with hand-checkered grip areas
- 5+1 capacity with standard 44 Magnum or 44 Special cartridges
- Adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with brass bead front sight

Field performance centers on the versatility of the 44 Magnum cartridge, capable of handling everything from varmint control with 44 Special loads to dangerous game backup with full-power magnums. The compact 20-inch overall length makes it suitable for close-quarters situations where carbine-length firearms become unwieldy. Ranch work, predator control, and hunting applications benefit from the quick-handling characteristics and proven stopping power.
