Overview

The Henry H10 Explorer Carbine is a departure from traditional wood-stocked lever actions, utilizing a fiber-reinforced synthetic stock and forend that resist moisture, impact, and temperature extremes.

A threaded barrel and included scope rail expand its utility, allowing for suppressor use or optic mounting without aftermarket modification. This carbine is assembled at Henry’s Rice Lake, Wisconsin facility under strict quality control protocols.
