The Henry H10 Protector Carbine .45-70 Government (Henry part no. H010PGR-4570) is a compact, powerful lever action from Henry Repeating Arms. Its shortened 16.5-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 for suppressor use, and the checkered pistol-grip American walnut stock ends in a ventilated rubber recoil pad. The short barrel makes it quick to shoulder around doorways, vehicles and brush. It is aimed at hunters and property owners who want large-game capability in a handy package.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45-70 Government, a cartridge Henry rates for large game such as deer, bear, hogs, moose and elk at 100 yards.
• The barrel is 16.5 inches of round blued steel, which keeps the carbine short and quick to handle.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, ready for a compatible muzzle device or suppressor to cut blast and soften recoil.
• The rifling twist is 1:20, as published by Henry for this model.
• Capacity is 5 rounds in the tubular magazine.
• The stock is checkered American walnut with a pistol grip, which gives a firm hold under heavy recoil.
• The buttplate is a ventilated rubber recoil pad, which helps tame the recoil of the big cartridge.
• The rear sight is a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn with a diamond insert, and the front is a ramp with an ivory bead.
• The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope base, so optics mount without gunsmithing.
• Overall length is 35.5 inches and weight is 7 pounds, with a transfer bar safety built into the action.
