In 1958, Steve McQueen rode onto the black-and-white television screens of America in the brand-new TV Western "Wanted: Dead or Alive." In his hand was a weapon that had never been seen before a modified lever-action rifle with a short barrel and small buttstock. It shot like a rifle and was holstered like a pistol. While the show didn't last past 1961, his weapon was never forgotten. That's why Henry brought this gun to life with their Mare's Leg series of lever-action rifles. Choose the right rifle for you with the Mare's Legs for sale at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.
There are few guns as classic in American culture as the lever-action rifle. The Mare's Leg takes it a step further. Not only is it a modern homage to the Old West, but it's also a gift to fans of "Wanted: Dead or Alive" who dreamed of using McQueen's iconic firearm themselves. To make sure shooters could have the shooting experience they wanted, Mare's Leg pistols and rifles came in many caliber options. This includes .22 WMR, .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum, and .45 Colt.

Although it resembles a carbine and is often referred to as a rifle, it's legally defined as a handgun. This style of lever-action firearm is sometimes called a "lever-action pistol." However, the terminology is not strict. Nobody familiar with a Mare's Leg would bat an eye if you referred to it as a rifle or a pistol.
The lever-action rifle has three primary use cases: hunting, personal protection, and plinking. Hunters use it for short-range hunting, where its fast follow-up shots, compared to a bolt-action rifle, are helpful in case their first shot misses. Lever-action rifles were used by the U.S. military in the late 19th century, so you know you can rely on them for personal protection in a pinch. And as a gun associated with cowboy culture, it's just an all-around fun gun to use for plinking and range practice.
All firearms must be shipped to a gun shop with an FFL. Instead of shipping your order to your home, you can have it delivered to your local FFL dealer. After it arrives, you can go to the dealer and pick up your new gun.
