Compact Big-Bore Performance
The Henry Mares Leg .44 Magnum Lever-Action Firearm brings true .44 Magnum capability to a compact, short-frame lever-action inspired by classic Mares Leg configurations. This model packages hard-hitting big-bore ballistics into a highly portable platform ideal for vehicle carry, ranch work, or unique collection pieces where local law permits.
Purpose-Built Portability with Real Stopping Power
With a shortened barrel and scaled stock or pistol-style configuration (model dependent), the Mares Leg trades overall length for maneuverability without sacrificing Henry’s standards for strength and reliability. Chambered for .44 Magnum and often compatible with .44 Special practice loads (confirm with SKU), it provides serious terminal performance in a compact package.
Smooth Lever Operation & Optional Large-Loop Lever
Henry adapts its renowned lever mechanism to the Mares Leg format for reliable feeding and smooth cycling. Choose the large-loop lever option for faster operation, improved ergonomics with gloves, and that distinctive western appearance.
Finish, Furniture & Configurations
Available finishes may include blued steel, polished brass, nickel/silver plating, or color case-hardened receivers depending on SKU. Standard furniture is shortened American walnut or compact walnut-style grips; some variants offer synthetic or specialty grips. Many configurations include low-profile iron sights and a receiver drilled & tapped for micro optics or red-dot mounts.
Practical Notes & Responsible Ownership
Capacities, barrel length, and legal classification vary by model and jurisdiction. Confirm the exact SKU specifications and local laws before sale or transfer. This product is intended for lawful, responsible adult ownership. Practice safe storage, transport, and handling at all times.
