New for 2026, Henry Repeating Arms introduces the Explorer, Protector, and Provider lever-action rifles.

Available in a plethora of popular European and north American hunting calibers, the Explorer, Protector and Provider rifles seamlessly blend Henry's classic design and technical layout with modern features that make them better suited for modern hunters – particularly as brush guns – as well as for property and cattle defense.

The Henry Repeating Arms Explorer, Protector, and Provider rifles emphasize portability, balance, and fast handling, and combine distinctive styling with enhanced durability to reliably put meat on the table or in the freezer and to function reliably when the moment is critical, year after year.

Originally announced on the US market in late January and mid-February, the Protector, Provider, and Explorer lever-action rifles made their official debut on the European market at the 2026 edition of IWA OutdoorClassics in Nuremberg, Germany.

Henry's new Explorer carbine draws inspiration from the rugged landscapes of the American southwest, and is defined by a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish applied to the lever, receiver, barrel, and outer magazine tube – a solution that provides increased resistance to physical and environmental wear, delivering long-term protection while creating a refined, custom-shop look without the custom-shop price tag.

The Henry Repeating Arms Explorer carbine fitted with a threaded 16.5-inch carbine-length barrel, fully adjustable sights, a drilled-and-tapped receiver for optics, and a set of sling swivel studs; other features include a checkered pistol-grip buttstock and fore-end cut from genuine American walnut and a ventilated rubber recoil pad.

Three versions are available: the H9 Explorer carbine is offered in .30-30 Winchester and .360 Buckhammer, each with a 4-round capacity; the H10 Explorer carbine is chambered in .45-70 Government and also features a 4-round capacity; finally, the H12 Explorer carbine is available in .357 Magnum / .38 Special and .44 Magnum / .44 Special, both with a 7-round capacity.

MSRP for the US market is set at $1,430.

The Henry Protector carbines are lightweight and compact, built to be unobtrusive and easier to handle in all situations; all variants feature a 16.5" / 42 cm threaded barrels for suppressors or other muzzle accessories, emphasizing maneuverability, comfort, and everyday capability.

Other features of the Protector carbines include a matte blued steel receiver finish, checkered genuine American walnut pistol-grip stocks, pre-installed sling swivel studs, fully adjustable sights, and receivers drilled and tapped for optics mounting.

Three variants are available: the H9 Protector carbine is chambered for .30-30 Winchester and .360 Buckhammer; the H10 Protector carbine feeds the ubiquitous .45/70 Government cartridge; finally, the H12 Protector carbine is available in either .357 Magnum (capable of using .38 Special ammunition) or .44 Magnum (also compatible with .44 Special).

MSRP for all variants on the US market is set at $1,200.

The Henry Repeating Arms Provider rifles are designed for hunters who value the ergonomics of a pistol-grip stock and maximum capacity over the ability to mount a suppressor.

Each model features a 20" / 51 cm non-threaded blued steel barrel paired with a longer tube magazine capable of holding up to 6 rounds in the rifle calibers and 10 rounds in the pistol calibers.

Three variants are available: the H9 Provider rifle is chambered in .30-30 Winchester, .360 Buckhammer, .38-55 Winchester, and .35 Remington; the H10 Provider rifle is chambered in .45/70 Government; and the H12 Provider rifle is available in .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum (respectively also capable of feeding .38 Special or .44 Special ammunition).

All Henry Repeating Arms Provider rifles carry an MSRP of $1,135 on the US market
