Henry Repeating Arms has added two new lever-action families to its catalog, and both are shipping now through authorized Henry dealers. Details are in Henry Repeating Arms's press release.
What Was Announced
Henry is introducing the Protector Carbine, a compact model with a threaded muzzle for use with a suppressor, and the Provider Rifle, a dedicated hunting rifle without threading. Both feature pistol-grip stocks, and both are built on Henry's existing lever-action lineup of American-made rifles, shotguns, and revolvers.
Key Details
- Protector Carbine: 16.5-inch barrel with threaded muzzle, MSRP $1,200
- Provider Rifle: 20-inch non-threaded blued steel barrel, MSRP $1,135
- Provider capacity: up to 6 rounds in rifle calibers and 10 rounds in pistol calibers
- Protector calibers: H9 in .30-30 Win. and .360 Buckhammer; H10 in .45-70 Gov't; H12 in .357 Magnum/.38 Spl. and .44 Magnum/.44 Spl.
- Provider calibers: H9 in .30-30 Win., .360 Buckhammer, .38-55 Win., and .35 Rem.; H10 in .45-70 Gov't; H12 in .357 Magnum/.38 Spl. and .44 Magnum/.44 Spl.
- Shared features: matte blued steel receiver, checkered American walnut pistol-grip stock, ventilated pre-installed sling swivel studs, fully adjustable sights, receiver drilled and tapped for optics
- Availability: shipping now through authorized Henry dealers
What It Means for Gun Owners
The split is clear. The Protector Carbine is aimed at owners who want a shorter, handier rifle that can take a suppressor. The Provider Rifle is aimed at hunters who want a longer tube magazine and do not need threading. Both families give buyers the pistol-grip ergonomics Henry is emphasizing, and both come in the same set of calibers, so the choice comes down to barrel length, threading, and magazine capacity.
Bottom Line
If you already run a Henry lever action, these models add configuration options rather than new platform changes. Check with an authorized dealer for current stock and pricing.
