Henry Bear’s Leg .45-70 Government Lever-Action Pistol 13.8-inch

The Henry Bear’s Leg (Henry part no. H010GBLX-4570) is a factory-built lever-action pistol chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge, giving shooters serious big-bore capability in a pistol-length platform with no shoulder stock, so it carries no NFA paperwork or tax stamp. Henry Repeating Arms builds the Bear’s Leg around a 13.8-inch barrel, longer than the .22-caliber Mare’s Leg family, to help manage the recoil and pressure of the .45-70 cartridge. A simple bead sight keeps the sight picture fast for close-range use.
