Features & Specs

Every specification of this carbine has been selected to maximize performance in demanding environments. The action is smooth and positive, leveraging Henry’s time-tested manufacturing tolerances. Key attributes are detailed below.

• Caliber Options: .30-30 Winchester (30-30 Win) and .360 Buckhammer (.360 BHMR), both offering flat trajectories and significant energy transfer on target.
• Barrel Length: 16.5 inches, threaded 11/16-24 for muzzle devices or suppressors (thread cap included).
• Overall Length: 35.5 inches, with an unloaded weight of 7.0 pounds for comfortable carry and off-hand shooting.
• Stock and Forend: American walnut with checkered grip panels and a satin oil finish, paired with a ventilated rubber recoil pad to reduce felt recoil.

The side-gate loading port is flush-fitting and allows single-round insertion without cycling the action, ensuring the magazine tube remains fully loaded between shots. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases, and the carbine is equipped with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and a brass bead front sight for quick target acquisition.

• Magazine Capacity: 5 rounds in the tube (compatible with standard length cartridges).
• Safety Features: A manual cross-bolt safety is located at the tang of the receiver, providing a positive block to the hammer.
• Finish: Blued steel on all metal components, providing corrosion resistance and a low-glare field appearance.

• Action Type: Lever action with a short-throw lever, reducing cycling time and allowing the shooter to maintain cheek weld.
• Trigger: Single-stage, adjustable for pull weight, with a crisp break and minimal overtravel.
• Packaging: Includes a soft-sided carrying case, owner’s manual, and a cable lock for safe storage.

Who It Is For

The henry h9 protector carbine is designed for the discerning hunter who values tradition but refuses to sacrifice modern ballistic performance. It is ideal for the brush hunter who stalks whitetail in dense cover, where a lightweight, short-barreled rifle is paramount. The .360 Buckhammer option makes this carbine a strong choice for states with straight-wall cartridge regulations, offering energy comparable to .30-30 at similar ranges. Additionally, the carbine suits the landowner or rancher who requires a reliable, easy-to-maintain firearm for predator control or property defense. The side-gate loading and threaded barrel also appeal to the tactical shooter or suppressor enthusiast who appreciates the reduced signature of a lever-action platform.
