Say you’re an enormous lever-gun aficionado, however you desire a silencer, and also you desire a rifle you can take backcountry searching with out including quite a lot of weight. Henry Repeating Arms hears your cries, and brings you the brand new Particular Merchandise Division (SPD).
The SPD collection is meant to carry fashionable know-how to Henry’s lineup, which is best-known for its old school designs. Or as their web site places it, these firerms can be:
“Engineered from the bottom up by a few of America’s brightest minds in firearms design to fulfill the ever-evolving wants of at present’s and tomorrow’s outdoorsmen, hunters, and hobbyists. Born from a singular mission: to guide whereas others observe.
“From cutting-edge supplies to forward-thinking designs that resolve real-world issues, SPD is the place Henry Repeating Arms firmly stakes its place because the chief in innovation.”
What kind of “real-world issues” is Henry speaking about? We are able to get a clue with the Hush, the primary rifle within the Henry SPD collection.
This lever-action combines Henry’s newer side-gate loading system with their older load/unload-from-the-end magazine tube (arguably, the most effective of each worlds for a tube-mag lever gun). However the common structure of the motion is the one factor that’s acquainted. Beginning with the barrel (constructed at the side of BSF Barrels), you get chrome steel building wrapped in carbon-fiber for energy, weight discount and accuracy. There’s a 95-percent air hole between the carbon and metal, which helps the barrel cool sooner; the carbon sleeve cools and expands with the barrel over a capturing session, sustaining accuracy. Very slick stuff; we’ve come a great distance from the times of arguing over Ballard vs. Micro-Groove rifling.
The top of the barrel is threaded on your gadget of selection, together with a suppressor. The thread pitch relies upon which caliber the rifle is chambered in ( your selection of .357 Magnum/.38 Particular, .44 Magnum/.44 Particular, .45 Colt, .30-30 Winchester or 45-70 Authorities). This function alone will make the Henry very fascinating for a lot of hunters.
On to the furnishings, the place we see an aluminum fore-end constructed at the side of Tapco. M-LOK slots provide loads of choices for mounting equipment.
The receiver wears a cast carbon-fiber Picatinny rail; there aren’t any iron sights included, so it would be best to mount an optic as quickly as you get this rifle.
The Hush’s buttstock is laminated hardwood, as Henry acknowledges many shooters nonetheless need the texture of a wooden inventory. It’s checkered to enhance grip, with rubber buttpad to cut back recoil. Henry even hollowed the inventory out to cut back weight.
The receiver and a lot of the different steel will get a matte end (the barrel is a mixture of carbon-fiber and glossy stainless). Asking value for all calibers within the Henry SPD is $1,999 at launch; see extra images and specs here.
