The Henry H9 Explorer Carbine in .360 Buckhammer (brand part no. H009XCW-360BH) is a compact lever gun built by Henry Repeating Arms for hunters who want straight-wall cartridge performance in a short, quick-handling package. The 16.5-inch round steel barrel and the receiver both wear a burnt bronze Cerakote finish, and the muzzle is threaded for accessories. An American walnut stock with a checkered pistol grip and a ventilated rubber recoil pad rounds out the rifle. It suits whitetail woods, brush country and thick-cover hunting where a handy carbine matters more than reach.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .360 Buckhammer, the straight-wall cartridge this Explorer carbine is built around.
• The action is a lever action, the classic repeater design that keeps the rifle fast to cycle from the shoulder.
• Barrel length is 16.5 inches, a round steel barrel finished in burnt bronze Cerakote for corrosion resistance and a distinctive look.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so a compatible muzzle device or suppressor adapter can be fitted.
• The rate of twist is 1:12, the rifling pitch Henry cuts into this barrel.
• Overall length is 35.5 inches, which keeps the carbine short enough for tight blinds and quick shouldering.
• Unloaded weight is 6.75 pounds, light enough to carry all day without tiring.
• The rear sight is a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn with a diamond insert, paired with a ramp front sight with an ivory bead.
• The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope mount, so an optic goes on without gunsmithing.
• The safety is a transfer bar, which keeps the hammer from reaching the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
