Henry Silver Eagle 22LR Lever Action Rifle, 20" Barrel

The Henry Lever Action Silver Eagle .22LR is a tribute to American heritage and craftsmanship, embodying the spirit of its legendary predecessors. Rooted in historical significance, this rifle draws inspiration from the Serial Number 9 Henry Rifle gifted to Gideon Welles by The New Haven Arms Company. As Secretary of the Navy under President Lincoln and an architect of the Republican Party, Welles was pivotal in shaping national history.

Crafted with precision, this rimfire rifle stands as a testament to excellence on par with its storied lineage. Built upon the award-winning Golden Boy platform, it features a 20-inch octagonal barrel that reflects classic gunsmithing prowess reminiscent of rifles patented back in 1860. Its sights are tailored for accuracy — Marbles fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a reversible white diamond insert paired with a brass beaded front sight ensures precise target acquisition.

The aesthetics are unmatched; adorned with nickel-plated receiver covers engraved meticulously based on original photos and hand drawings of its historic counterpart. This full-coverage engraving extends across both sides, offering not just functionality but also elegance worthy of display.

With a capacity for 16 rounds of .22 LR ammunition within its robust lever-action mechanism, this firearm guarantees reliability while maintaining affordability at nearly half the cost compared to rivals. The solid American Walnut stock complements these features beautifully alongside blued levers and barrels accented by nickel receiver components such as barrel band and buttplate.
