Henry Repeating Arms Mare’s Leg .44 Remington Mag Blue/Black Lever Action Pistol

A: This style gun is more of a Hollywood (Steve McQueen) curiosity than a useful firearm. They are hard to hold and shoot without some pain. I've shot the Mare's Leg in 30-30 and 44 and it wasn't much fun.

A: Worse then I remembered, you can watch me and others shooting it on YouTube. Apparently it beat my arms up. My in-law is a nut and loves to buy strange guns like this. Glad he does though cause they are fun to shoot!

A: 44 mag has quite the punch. Much less in mares leg version than revolver. Remember, you can opt to feed it 44 special, which has very little recoil in a mares leg. Quite the fun gun. I enjoy mine.

A: Jeffery, yes this has a Octagonal Barrel : HENRY MARES LEG 44MAG 12.9" OCT BL - Model (619835060143). You can verify at HENRY website here : https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/mares-leg/

A: Hi Edward, This one is not available in Ca but the silver one is for some reason. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/2084_1153_1797/products_id/350/HENRY+H006S+BIG+BOY+SILVER+44MAG Although this one has a 20" barrel. I think in Ca it has to be over 16" and the one you are referring to is 12.9 inch

A: It's not compliant, because the Mare's Leg / Ranch Hand style firearms don't meet the requirements of the handgun roster. The exemptions folks are using for AR and AK pistols as bolt-action single shot pistols don't apply, and short barreled rifles are illegal in CA. (Longer barrel versions are legal).
