Detailed Review
The Henry Mare's Leg is a unique firearm that was first introduced in the late 1950s. It was inspired by the short-barreled lever-action rifles that were popular among cowboys and lawmen in the Old West. The Henry Mare's Leg is essentially a shortened version of the company's highly regarded Model H001 lever-action rifle.
The gun gets its name from the popular western TV show "Wanted: Dead or Alive," which starred Steve McQueen as bounty hunter Josh Randall. McQueen's character carried a customized Winchester Model 1892 that was cut down to a length of only 18 inches, which he carried in a holster strapped to his leg. This firearm became known as the "Mare's Leg."
The Henry Mare's Leg shares many similarities with the Winchester Model 1892 used in the TV show. Like the Model 1892, the Mare's Leg features a large loop lever for quick and easy cycling of the action, and it uses a tube magazine under the barrel to hold the cartridges. However, unlike the Model 1892, the Mare's Leg has a barrel length of only 12.9 inches, making it much easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
The Henry Mare's Leg is available in several different calibers, including .22 LR, .22 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt. The gun has a brass receiver and a blued steel barrel, and it weighs in at around 5 pounds. The stock and forearm are made of American walnut and feature a smooth, oiled finish.
While there are other firearms that can be classified as "mare's legs," the Henry Mare's Leg is perhaps the most well-known and widely produced. It has become a popular choice among cowboy action shooters and fans of western movies and TV shows. It is also often used as a lightweight, compact firearm for hunting or self-defense.
Overall, the Henry Mare's Leg is a unique and versatile firearm that combines classic Old West styling with modern engineering and manufacturing techniques. Whether you're a collector, a shooter, or just a fan of cowboy culture, the Mare's Leg is sure to make an impression.
