Innovative Advancements in Lever Action Firearms
The renowned Henry Repeating Arms has officially launched its latest masterpiece, the Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR), which is now being shipped to dealers nationwide. This revolutionary rifle showcases the manufacturer’s commitment to excellence in the field of lever-action firearms, improving upon a tradition that dates back over a century. The LASR incorporates cutting-edge technology that elevates its performance, accuracy, and overall user experience.
A Look at the Features of the LASR
At the heart of this innovative firearm lies several advanced features designed to enhance its capabilities dramatically. According to Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms, the LASR represents a leap forward in lever-action design while preserving the classic appeal that enthusiasts cherish.
Supreme Accuracy
One of the standout qualities of the LASR is its remarkable accuracy. The rifle is equipped with a free-floated blued steel barrel that is optimized for sub-MOA accuracy, contingent upon the right configuration and cartridge selection. For instance, the .223 Rem/5.56 NATO variant features an 18-inch barrel, while the .300 Blackout model comes with a 16.5-inch barrel. These refinements promise exceptional performance on the range or in the field.
Unmatched Smoothness
The LASR's operation is marked by an incredibly smooth action, attributed to its state-of-the-art quad-bar linkage and slider crank mechanism. This engineering marvel sets a new standard that lever-action enthusiasts have long awaited. When you operate this rifle, you’ll notice an immediate difference in the cycling of rounds and overall handling.
Versatility and Comfort
Adaptability is another critical aspect of the LASR. The rifle features a match-grade 4-pound adjustable trigger and a patent-pending windage and elevation adjustable trapezoidal rear sight. These elements, combined with ambidextrous controls, mean that shooters of all preferences can find comfort and control, ensuring an enjoyable shooting experience. Such innovations show Henry's dedication to making their rifles accessible to all users.
High-Quality Craftsmanship
Crafted at the company’s facility in Wisconsin, the LASR boasts premium materials, including genuine American Walnut stocks complemented by aerospace-grade aluminum receivers. This combination of quality materials ensures that the rifle is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Revolutionizing the Lever Action Platform
Construction of the LASR also includes an internal hammer design that protects the action from dust and debris; this is crucial for maintaining reliability, especially in challenging conditions. The six-lug rotating bolt face contributes to a reassuring lockup, and when paired with the rifle’s precision barrel, it allows for remarkable levels of accuracy. Additionally, the LASR ships with a detachable 10-round Magpul PMAG, along with a capacity limiter to ensure compliance with hunting regulations. This flexibility with magazine types expands the possibilities of bullet configurations never before seen in the lever-action genre.
A Bright Future for Lever Action
Wickstrom passionately remarked on the relevance of the lever-action platform, expressing excitement about ushering in this new chapter in the history of Henry Repeating Arms. As the LASR hits shelves, it stands as a testament to the company’s legacy in the firearms industry.
