Henry H001L Classic Lever Action Carbine .22 LR 16.125″ Walnut

The Henry H001L Classic Lever Action Carbine in .22 LR is a rimfire lever gun that delivers old-school handling with a 16.125-inch barrel and large-loop lever. Chambered for .22 S/L/LR, this carbine cycles smoothly and holds 12 rounds in its tubular magazine. American walnut stock meets blued steel—no frills, just reliable function for plinking, small-game hunting, and training.

Key Features

• Large-loop lever — why it matters: lets you cycle the action with a gloved hand or maintain a consistent grip without breaking your firing position, critical for speed on small-game follow-ups or training drills.
• 16.125-inch barrel — why it matters: keeps the overall length short for maneuverability in brush or a truck cab, while still delivering enough velocity for .22 LR out to 100 yards. Measured at the muzzle, this barrel balances pointability with accuracy.
• Tubular magazine, 12-round capacity — why it matters: no detachable mags to lose, and the tube feeds .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle interchangeably. You can load a mix for practice or hunting without swapping parts.
• American walnut stock with blued metal — why it matters: the walnut provides a stable, oil-finished grip that doesn’t slip in wet conditions, and the blued steel resists rust with basic care. This combo wears well over decades of use.
• Adjustable rear sight, brass bead front — why it matters: the rear sight drifts for windage and clicks for elevation, so you can zero the carbine for your preferred .22 load. The brass bead catches light for fast acquisition on moving targets.

Who It’s For

This is for the shooter who wants a lever-action .22 that runs without fuss. If you’re teaching a new shooter the basics of manual cycling, taking squirrels at 50 yards, or just burning through bulk .22 ammo on steel plates, the H001L fits. Its large loop also appeals to cowboy-action shooters or anyone who prefers a gloved-hand-friendly lever.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Smooth action out of the box, accepts all three .22 rimfire lengths, large-loop lever works with heavy gloves, classic looks that hold value, and Henry’s lifetime warranty.

Cons: The iron sights are basic and not fiber-optic—expect to upgrade to a peep sight or red dot if your eyes struggle with the brass bead. Also, the tubular magazine is slower to reload than a detachable box mag, but that’s inherent to the lever design.

Comparison vs. Competitors

The Henry undercuts the Marlin 39A on price but still offers walnut and all-three-rimfire compatibility. The Rossi RS22 is cheaper but lacks the finish quality and warranty of the Henry. For a shooter who wants a heirloom-grade .22 lever gun without the premium of a discontinued model, the H001L is the sweet spot.
