In the annals of television Westerns, few firearms have captured the imagination quite like Steve McQueen's iconic Mare's Leg. This distinct piece of weaponry, a modified version of a repeating rifle, brought swift justice to outlaws with its unique blend of portability and speed. Today, Henry proudly offers enthusiasts and collectors alike the opportunity to own this legendary firearm in their own right.
The Henry Mare’s Leg is not merely a replica; it is an homage crafted with precision and respect for tradition. Built in the USA, each unit echoes Henry’s celebrated standards for quality. It takes inspiration from the revered Henry Big Boy Brass Side Gate series but stands apart as a compact lever-action pistol available in .44 Magnum/.44 Special.
At first glance, one cannot help but admire its select handcrafted American Walnut stock—meticulously cut to mirror that seen on screen during those bygone days of classic Western storytelling. The large loop lever embodies both form and function, allowing shooters to engage in rapid-fire action reminiscent of frontier legends.
Functionality remains paramount with this model’s side loading gate integrated into its gleaming brass receiver—a nod to practicality by enabling seamless top-offs while maintaining readiness without pause. Complementing this feature is Henry's removable magazine tube system which ensures safe unloading post-adventure or after honing skills at your local range.
Whether you are drawn by nostalgia or possess an appreciation for finely-engineered firearms steeped in history—the Mare’s Leg delivers on all fronts: aesthetics rooted deeply within Americana coupled alongside reliable performance indicative only when wearing true craftsmanship such as what resides under every barrel stamped "Henry."
