Henry H10 Protector Carbine

Overview

The Henry H10 Protector Carbine represents a modern evolution of the lever-action platform, chambered in the proven .45-70 Gov’t cartridge. Built by Henry Repeating Arms, this carbine bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary defensive application. The H10 Protector Carbine is designed for shooters who demand rapid follow-up shots and reliable cycling under stress, leveraging a short-stroke lever system and an 8-round tubular magazine. Its compact 16.5-inch barrel and full-length Picatinny rail make it a versatile tool for property defense, hunting in heavy cover, or range work. The H10 Protector Carbine retains the familiar manual of arms of a lever gun while incorporating modern ergonomics and sighting solutions.
