Lever-action rifles marry historic design with practical field performance, and when you want a rimfire that respects tradition while offering modern readiness, the balance between form and function matters. Tactical shooters and collectors alike appreciate a rifle that performs in the field without sacrificing the look and handling that made lever actions legendary.

HENRY FRONTIER THREADED BARREL is a faithful reproduction of the iconic frontier lever action, built around an American walnut straight-grip stock and a blued octagon steel barrel. This model ships with a 24″ barrel, a 1-in-16″ twist rate, an alloy grooved receiver, and an 8-round tubular magazine. It features a single-stage trigger, hammer safety, adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight, plus 12×28 (Class3A) .400-length threads for suppressor-ready setups.

Key features that matter on the range

The HENRY FRONTIER THREADED BARREL is chambered in .22 WMR, offering a performance step up from .22 LR for varmint work and precision rimfire tasks. At 7.00 lbs and 42.5″ overall length with a 14″ length of pull, the rifle balances portability with stable sight radius. The octagon blued steel barrel and grooved alloy receiver keep the classic aesthetic while the threaded muzzle (.400 length) supports modern suppressors and muzzle devices. Priced at $638.99, this lever-action gives collectors and tactical shooters a competitive value point. View product details and pricing

Tactical applications and ammunition choice

.22 WMR provides higher velocity and energy than .22 LR, translating to flatter trajectories and improved terminal performance on small game and varmints at extended rimfire ranges. The 8-round tubular magazine supports rapid follow-up shots, while the single-stage trigger and traditional sights allow for precise, predictable shot execution. The threaded barrel is a key tactical advantage for shooters planning suppressed rimfire setups or quick muzzle changes.

Handling, fit, and finish

American walnut with a straight grip offers comfortable ergonomics and classic looks; the semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front sight layout is intuitive for fast acquisition, while the grooved receiver allows optic options if you prefer a scope. The hammer safety and reliable lever action design give a blend of historic function and modern safety considerations. Check current availability
