Henry Mare's Leg .45 LC Side Gate
The Henry Mare's Leg is a firearm that pays homage to the iconic weapon wielded by Steve McQueen in the classic TV Western, "Wanted: Dead or Alive." This unique sidearm, which straddles the line between pistol and rifle, captures the spirit of innovation from its era while embodying modern craftsmanship. Built with precision and pride in the USA, this lever-action pistol is a modified version of Henry's esteemed Big Boy Brass Side Gate.
Chambered in .45 Long Colt (LC), it maintains both form and function reminiscent of its legendary predecessor. The American Walnut stock is handcrafted to mirror the exact specifications seen on television screens decades ago. Not only does it offer aesthetic appeal with its gleaming brass receiver but also practical functionality through its large loop lever—a feature that ensures swift handling for rapid-fire shots.
This Mare’s Leg model incorporates a side loading gate, allowing shooters to conveniently keep their five-round tube magazine topped up without missing a beat. Safety remains paramount; thus, Henry includes their removable magazine tube design for straightforward unloading post-range session.
A distinguished piece for collectors and fans alike, this firearm not only serves as an evocative nod to western lore but stands out as an engineering marvel fit for today's enthusiasts who appreciate reliable performance coupled with historical allure.
