Henry Long Ranger Express Carbine 223 Rem 223 Rem/5.56 NATO 5+1 16.50" Blued Threaded Barrel, Black Hardcoat Anodize Picatinny Rail Aluminum Receiver, Fixed Birch Laminate Stock, Right Hand
The Henry Long Ranger combines bolt action accuracy with the speed of a lever gun, the Long Ranger's six-lug rotary bolt, aerospace grade aluminum construction, free-floated barrel, and detachable box magazine make for a best-in-class hunting platform. More than just a precision game-getter, the trimmed down and ruggedized Long Ranger Express is equally capable at hunting your property as it is defending it. For an all-purpose rifle, practical accuracy, mobility, and ammunition availability should be prioritized over outright firepower. The Express features a quick-handling carbine length 16.5" barrel, threaded 5/824 to accept the muzzle device of your choosing. You may opt for a muzzle brake to reduce felt recoil and keep the Express flat on target in the field, or a suppressor to reduce your signature and keep peace with the neighbors. The most obvious aesthetic departure from the standard H014 is the Long Ranger Express' weather-resistant birch laminate furniture set, which provides excellent moisture resistance, durability, and stability when the temperatures and humidity are anything but. Integral sling swivels sit fore and aft, and a solid black rubber recoil pad aids in recoil control and follow up shot speed, where this lever action excels. Atop the black-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum receiver sits a factory mounted Picatinny rail, ready to accept the high-speed red dot, versatile low-power variable optic, or precise fixed magnification scope of your choice.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles.
