Henry Mares Leg 357 Magnum Lever Action Firearm

Compact Heritage — Big-Bore Performance

The Henry Mares Leg .357 Magnum Lever-Action Firearm compresses the power and character of a full-size lever rifle into a short-frame, highly portable design inspired by classic Mares Leg concepts. Chambered for .357 Magnum with common compatibility for .38 Special (check SKU), this model delivers real magnum ballistics in a carry-friendly package for trail, ranch, or personal defense use where permitted.

Purpose-Built Portability

With a shortened barrel and scaled-down stock/forearm (or pistol-style configuration depending on model), the Mares Leg trades length for maneuverability without sacrificing the solid construction Henry is known for. It’s an ideal choice when storage space, vehicle carry, or compact handling are priorities.

Smooth Lever Action & Ergonomics

Henry’s renowned lever mechanism is adapted for the Mares Leg format to ensure dependable feeding and comfortable cycling. Choose the large-loop lever option for faster operation and better control with gloved hands — a practical upgrade for cold-weather use or rapid follow-ups.

Finish, Furniture & Options

Available finishes may include blued steel, polished brass, nickel/silver plating, or color case-hardened receivers (finish depends on SKU). Standard furniture is American walnut or shortened walnut-styled grips; some variants offer synthetic or specialty finishes. Many configurations ship with low-profile iron sights and a receiver drilled & tapped for micro red-dot optics.

Practical Features & Notes on Use

Compact lever guns often have model-dependent magazine capacities and sighting setups. Verify the exact capacity, barrel length, and legal classification for your jurisdiction before listing or selling. The Mares Leg’s short profile makes it suited for close-quarters use where local law permits; always follow safe storage and transportation practices.
