During Range Day at Shot Show 2024, we had the chance to catch up with Daniel from Henry USA, who introduced us to their latest innovation: the Lever Action Supreme.
This lever-action rifle sports unique features that set it apart from its predecessors while also making it similar to its modern sporting relatives.
The Lever Action Supreme comes with an internal hammer and a sealed-off design, making it a standout in the lever-action realm. Daniel highlighted the internal hammer and the linkage-driven rotary bolt that looks suspiciously similar to a Mil-Spec AR bolt which makes for an incredibly smooth action.
Available in .223 and 300 Blackout, it ships with a 10-round PMAG, a free-floated threaded barrel, and the classic Walnut finish that defines Henry rifles. The .223 offering will come with an 18″ barrel while the 300 blk model will come with a 16″ barrel.
The match-grade adjustable trigger has a weight ranging from 3.5 to 5.5 lbs, which adds another layer of customization for shooters. The rear sight is also adjustable for both windage and elevation.

If you want to add a scope rail for mounting an optic, the Lever Action Supreme accepts the same 63B Weaver rail that their other rifles use.
As for availability, Henry plans to start shipping within a month, with an expected MSRP under $1,400, but it is promised to be priced similarly to the Long Ranger. Even though the price isn’t finalized, there are a lot of people who want one of these in their hands, for good reason.
After shooting the gun, the Lever Action Supreme impressed us all with its smoothness and ease of operation. Again, this is thanks to the rotary bolt design that contributes to the rifle’s remarkably slick action. Finally, classic firearms meet modern technology.

Give me a pump carbine that takes AR mags and I will buy one tomorrow.
Give me a pump 9mm carbine that takes pistol mags and I will buy one tomorrow.
They must not have that evil, murderous threaded barrel, though, and must have a 10 rd mag to be legal in IL and just about everywhere.
Stay safe. j
Being that it is in .223 instead of 5.56 that can shoot BOTH! I’m out.
It will likely fly off the shelves, but it ain’t for me.
My lever rifles requirements don’t involve anything AR/Tacticool related,
A modern lever action is a newly manufactured original design:
Winchester 1892
Pre 64 design Winchester 1894
Pre 1982-83 Marlin 336
Savage 1899 with counter
This Henry lever action rifle sounds interesting.
Would like to see it available in additional cartridges
6mm- 223
25-223
338-221 Whisper
357 Automag
350 Legend
400 Legend
41 Automag
44 Automag
45 Win Mag
50 AE
And not one picture with the mag in the gun…
Gee, how about a picture with the AR mag in it?
My thoughts exactly. You can kinda see it in the range pic.
So who will have it at a inflated price? Maybe the multiwifers company from Utah will charge your credit card & not even have them. Yes my friends it’s time for the manufactures to sell directly to the consumer, skipping the sin filled middle low lifers. Why is having many mates legal when they abuse them & the taxpayers. How about sending them to China to sell guns to the public.
Henry has finally done it! I’d rather use a lever action opposed to the AR’s as an all around rifle except for the clumsy reloading procedure of most lever actions. Coupling the AR mags with the lever action is genius. Now give it to me with nylon stocks and a nitride finish and it will be perfect.
The super-smooth action report tells me, “Better go try one.” Maybe that and having no gas/blowback would push me to a CC move for such a superior modern firearm, but doggone it, I miss the visible hammer and the classic look–John Wayne racking in shells on top of the stagecoach.
Just Fussing,
