Henry H9 Protector Carbine Rifle .30-30 Win 4rd Capacity 16.5" 5/8x24 Threaded Barrel Walnut

The Henry H9 Protector Carbine is a modern lever-action rifle built on proven American gunsmithing traditions—and it's built to shoot. Chambered in .30-30 Winchester, this nimble 16.5-inch carbine handles like a brush gun but delivers the stopping power serious hunters expect for deer and similar game. At 6.75 lbs, it's light enough to carry all day yet substantial enough to settle your shot. The 5/8x24 threaded barrel opens the door to muzzle devices if you want them, while the drilled-and-tapped receiver and Weaver mount let you glass it however you like—lever-action hunting doesn't mean iron sights only.

Henry built this rifle for hunters who value speed and reliability over capacity; the four-round magazine cycle quickly, and the transfer-bar safety keeps you secure whether you're in the field or at rest. The American walnut furniture and checkered pistol grip strike that balance between classic looks and practical control, even when you're wearing gloves. The ventilated rubber recoil pad absorbs the .30-30's moderate kick, while sling swivel studs make it easy to rig for serious hunting. The brass-bead front sight and fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear—both standard—give you hunting-ready optics out of the box.

This is a working rifle for working hunters: tough enough for brush and timber, compact enough to maneuver in tight country, and accurate enough to handle your responsibilities downrange. Whether you're a lever-action purist or a rifleman who just happens to love the way these guns handle, the H9 Protector earns its place in your battery.
