Henry H10 Protector Carbine 45-70 Government Blued Steel/Walnut Lever Action Rifle - 16.5in - The H10 Protector Carbine exists for moments that don't announce themselves. It is a compact, powerful lever action built to be close at hand when you need it, whether that means protecting your home, managing land, or moving confidently through remote country. With its shortened 16.5in barrel, threaded muzzle, and classic walnut-and-blued-steel construction, the H10 Protector Carbine delivers serious capability in a form that is easy to live with. Chambered in 45-70 Government, this rifle carries a level of authority that few cartridges can match. It is a round long respected for its deep penetration, decisive performance, and ability to handle large game and dangerous animals alike. In the Protector configuration, that power is paired with compact handling, allowing the rifle to move easily through doorways, vehicles, brush, and tight terrain. The shorter barrel makes the H10 quicker to shoulder and easier to maneuver in close quarters. It feels natural when brought up from a sling, from behind a truck seat, or from a resting place near the door. This is a rifle meant to be accessible, not tucked away. The threaded muzzle allows for suppressor use, reducing blast and softening recoil impulse. That means greater comfort, less disturbance around buildings or livestock, and better control during follow-up shots. It is a practical feature that enhances usability, not complexity. The checkered pistol-grip walnut stock offers a secure, confident hold and improved control under recoil. The more vertical wrist angle helps maintain stability during rapid or awkward shooting positions, while the ventilated rubber recoil pad reduces fatigue and makes extended use more manageable. Despite its serious capability, the H10 Protector Carbine still looks like what it is - a traditional American lever action rifle. Its blued steel finish and walnut furniture give it a timeless appearance that fits naturally on a ranch, a homestead, or in a working environment. It does not announce itself. It simply belongs. Fully adjustable sights allow for precise zeroing, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optional optics mounting. Sling swivel studs are installed from the factory, because a rifle meant to be carried should be ready to carry. The H10 Protector Carbine is not built for show. It is built for responsibility. It is the rifle you keep close when you live where help is far away. It is the rifle you reach for when you need confidence, not conversation. It is the rifle that stands watch quietly, patiently, and without complaint.
