Features

The Henry Repeating Arms H12 Protector Carbine is a right‑hand lever‑action rifle chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, offering versatility and compact handling in a classic pistol‑caliber platform. It features a 16.5‑inch steel barrel finished in blued steel, built with a 1:16 twist rate to properly stabilize both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition. The barrel is threaded 5/8 x 24 and fitted with a thread cap, allowing for compatibility with common muzzle devices while retaining a clean profile when not in use. Ammunition is loaded through a tubular magazine with a 7‑round capacity, and the steel receiver, also finished in blued steel, is drilled and tapped to support optic mounting. Sighting equipment includes an adjustable buckhorn rear sight paired with a brass bead front sight for fast, intuitive target acquisition.

Traditional ergonomics and recoil control are provided by an American walnut stock finished in satin, featuring checkering for a secure grip and a ventilated recoil pad to help manage felt recoil. A 14‑inch length of pull supports comfortable shouldering for a wide range of shooters, and the carbine’s compact dimensions enhance maneuverability in tight environments. Operation is handled through Henry’s transfer bar safety system, maintaining familiar lever‑action handling while improving drop safety. Measuring 34 inches in overall length and weighing 6.59 pounds, the H12 Protector Carbine in .357 Magnum/.38 Special combines modern threading capability with proven lever‑gun reliability, making it well suited for hunting, property management, and general field use.
