Enhancing a Classic: The Best Accessories for Your Henry Lever Action Rifle

The Henry Lever Action Rifle is an iconic piece of American firearms history, known for its reliability, smooth cycling action, and traditional aesthetics. While Henry rifles come out of the box ready to perform, a few carefully chosen accessories can enhance accuracy, comfort, and functionality, making your rifle even more suited to your needs.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best upgrades available for Henry rifles, from precision-enhancing stocks to optics and tactical enhancements.

1. Precision Stocks: The Ultimate Upgrade

A stock upgrade is one of the most effective ways to improve the ergonomics and accuracy of your Henry rifle. WOOX stocks, in particular, offer a unique combination of classic wood aesthetics and modern precision technology.

For those looking to elevate their shooting experience, the WOOX Exactus Precision Stock is an excellent choice. It features an internal aluminum chassis, ensuring rigidity and shot-to-shot accuracy, while maintaining the traditional look of a Henry rifle. If you prefer a more traditional hunting aesthetic but still want performance improvements, the Wild Man Precision Stock blends classic styling with enhanced ergonomics.

2. Optics: Improve Your Accuracy

While Henry rifles often feature classic iron sights, adding a high-quality optic can significantly enhance your accuracy and target acquisition speed. A low-power variable optic (LPVO) or a red dot sight can be excellent choices, depending on your shooting style.

• For long-range shooting, a 3-9x40mm scope provides better precision for hunting and target practice.
• For close to mid-range engagements, a red dot sight such as the Holosun HS507C ensures rapid target acquisition while preserving the rifle’s balance.

A properly mounted optic will help you make the most of your rifle’s capabilities in any environment.

3. Custom Lever Wraps for Comfort and Control

A leather lever wrap enhances both comfort and control by providing a better grip when cycling rounds. This is particularly useful for fast-action shooting or cold weather conditions, where the bare metal lever can become uncomfortable.

Many gun enthusiasts choose handcrafted leather wraps that not only improve handling but also add a touch of custom style to their Henry rifle.

4. Muzzle Devices: Taming Recoil and Muzzle Rise

While Henry rifles are known for their smooth recoil, adding a muzzle brake or compensator can further enhance control. A quality threaded barrel adapter allows you to attach a suppressor or flash hider, reducing muzzle flash and recoil.

For those using their Henry rifle for hunting or tactical applications, a suppressor can also minimize noise and preserve hearing in the field.

5. Custom Leather Sling: A Blend of Function and Style

A well-made leather rifle sling adds both utility and elegance to your Henry lever action rifle. A sling allows for comfortable carry during long hunting trips while maintaining quick access to your firearm.

Look for slings with adjustable lengths and reinforced stitching to ensure durability and a snug fit to your rifle.

6. Upgraded Trigger for a Smoother Pull

One of the easiest ways to improve your shooting experience is by upgrading to a smoother, lighter trigger. A drop-in trigger kit designed for Henry rifles reduces trigger pull weight and improves overall shot consistency.

Many precision shooters opt for a 2.5-3 lb trigger pull for better accuracy without sacrificing safety.
