Henry H015Y243 Single Shot Youth Rifle

Henry's Single Shot centerfire rifle represents a time-tested design refined for modern shooters. This .243 Winchester model combines classic American gunmaking with practical features that appeal to both youth shooters and experienced hunters seeking a straightforward, reliable firearm.

Design and Safety

The action employs a rebounding hammer mechanism that cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled. An interlock system prevents the barrel from opening when the hammer is cocked and prevents closing the barrel if the hammer is cocked while open. This elegant safety design requires no external manual safety lever—a hallmark of Henry's engineering philosophy.
