For more than 150 years, the lever action platform has been tweaked and tuned in the pursuit of sporting perfection. Incremental progress was made in small steps, thanks to advancements in materials, engineering know-how, and manufacturing capabilities, but until now, the action has remained relatively unchanged. Starting with a blank sheet of paper and all the cutting-edge manufacturing machinery one could wish for, our world-class design engineers set out to rewrite the script for this time-honored action. The result? As the world’s leading name in lever actions, Henry Repeating Arms is ushering in a new era with the Lever Action Supreme Rifle.

Meticulously engineered from the ground up for unrivaled performance in all areas, this rifle is a testament to pushing boundaries and exploring what’s possible while staying true to what makes the lever action so endearing. With a slew of patent-pending innovations on board, the Lever Action Supreme delivers best-in-class accuracy, reliability, and safety.
At its heart lies a patent-pending quad bar linkage and slider crank mechanism that propels the already famously smooth Henry action to new heights. This action drives a bolt with a multi-lug rotating face for positive lockup, extraction, and ejection. Thanks to the internal hammer design, all moving parts are sealed off from the elements when the action is closed to keep out dust, dirt, and debris and keep the rifle running like a top while it’s by your side out in the field.
Setting a new standard for lever action accuracy, the Lever Action Supreme Rifle (or LASR for short) sports a free-floated blued steel barrel fully capable of delivering sub-MOA groups, depending on the cartridge and conditions. The .223/5.56 variant features an 18″ barrel and the .300 BLK version opts for a shorter 16.5″ barrel. The Supreme’s match-grade 4-pound trigger ensures consistency from shot to shot and is user-adjustable with a 1-pound range using the included hex key. Due to the lack of a gas system, lever actions make fantastic suppressor hosts, so the muzzle is threaded to accept the device of your choosing.
To get on target and stay on target, we’ve also upped the game with our iron sights. The patent-pending trapezoidal rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation using the same tool that adjusts the trigger pull weight. A steel front blade completes a natural, precise, and quick-to-acquire sight picture. Should you opt for a magnified or digitally assisted sight picture instead, the aerospace-grade aluminum receiver is drilled and tapped to accept an optics base.
When it comes time for a deep clean, familiar punch pin disassembly makes maintenance a snap. The Supreme features genuine American Walnut stocks cut with ultra-precise diamond checkering to ensure it feels and points like a Henry should. For carry and comfort afield, factory-sling swivel studs are pre-installed along with a solid rubber recoil pad.
Innovation continues with the ambidextrous controls, including the tang safety switch and patent-pending magazine release. Reaching your thumb up to decock the hammer is second nature to those with prior experience with the Henry product catalog, so the safety switch’s location ensures you don’t have to teach an old dog new tricks.

Out of the box, the Supreme includes a 10-round Magpul® PMAG® with a 5-round limiter to comply with hunting regulations in certain parts of the country. For those who favor less reloading at the range, additional capacity is available using MSR-style magazines. In time, expect a plethora of caliber options never seen in the category to suit hobbyists, hunters, and protectors alike. The Supreme’s use of a detachable box magazine eliminates the bullet restrictions inherent to tube magazine designs.
Only made possible through today’s cutting-edge manufacturing technology and techniques and some of the brightest minds in modern firearms design, the LASR ensures that the lever action will forever reign Supreme.
