Description
This is a single lever-action rifle chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, manufactured by the Henry Repeating Arms Co. of Bayonne, New Jersey. The firearm is configured with an 18.25-inch blued barrel and a full-length tubular magazine located beneath the barrel. The receiver features a black finish and is topped with a grooved receiver for optic mounting, though none are present. The furniture consists of a plain American walnut stock and a matching forend, ending in a black composite buttplate embossed with the Henry name and logo. Sighting is provided by a hooded front post and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. Verification of markings includes the barrel stamps CALIBERS .22 S/L/LR and HENRY REPEATING ARMS CO. BAYONNE NJ USA. The serial number 795244H is stamped on the underside of the receiver. While the action appears to function correctly, we have not function-tested this firearm. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The barrel retains much of its original blued finish with minor handling marks and light surface wear. The black finish on the receiver shows more significant signs of use, including visible scratches and finish loss along the edges and on the flat sides of the receiver cover. The walnut stock and forend are in good overall condition but exhibit several surface indentations and minor scratches consistent with field use. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and no evidence of pitting or corrosion. The black composite buttplate shows typical minor scuffs.
