Compact, fast, and unmistakably classic, lever-action pistols occupy a unique niche for shooters who want rifle-like cycling in a holsterable package. Whether for range drills, small-game hunting, or simply enjoying the mechanical rhythm of a repeating action, a shortened lever gun delivers a distinctive combination of balance and speed.

HENRY MARE’S LEG is a cut-down, modified version of the repeating rifle that can be holstered like a pistol but fired with the speed of a lever-action rifle. The handcrafted American Walnut stock is cut to exact specification, and the large loop lever paired with the legendary crisp Henry action makes rapid follow-up shots effortless. This model features a 12.5″ barrel chambered in .22 WMR with a black metal finish.

Design and Handling

The shortened profile of the HENRY MARE’S LEG preserves the familiar lever-action ergonomics while reducing overall length for maneuverability. The American Walnut stock is not only aesthetic but also provides a solid cheek weld and natural balance. The large loop lever offers leverage for quick cycling, and Henry’s crisp action reduces snags and misfeeds common in modified platforms.

Barrel and Finish

The 12.5″ barrel tuned for .22 WMR delivers a tight, controllable sight picture and a practical balance between velocity and compactness. The black metal finish resists glare and complements the walnut furniture for a tactical-yet-traditional look.

.22 WMR: Practical Performance

.22 WMR brings higher velocity and energy compared to .22 LR, offering flatter trajectory and improved terminal performance for small-game engagements and varmint work. In a compact Mare’s Leg platform, .22 WMR gives you meaningful stopping power while keeping recoil light—ideal for fast follow-ups and extended practice sessions.

Price-conscious buyers will note the listed price of $437.99, which positions the HENRY MARE’S LEG as an accessible entry into premium, American-made lever mechanics. View product details and pricing to confirm current stock and shipping options.
