Much to my joy, lever guns have not only endured, but they have also gained popularity. Once seemingly relegated to old school gun nerds and Old West collectors, the modern lever gun is thriving. One of the reasons behind that is an evolution in lever gun design and application. One of the best examples of that comes from the good folks over at Henry USA. Their latest offering in this evolution is the Henry SPD HUSH Series.
Henry SPD HUSH Series – Built for Suppression Lever Gun
The Henry SPD HUSH Series is a bold evolution in lever-action rifle design, purpose-built to be run suppressed. Developed by the Henry Special Products Division—thier new R&D initiative focused on forward-thinking innovation. This inaugural release reimagines what a lever gun can be in modern hunting and shooting applications. Offered in five time-tested calibers—.45 Colt, .357 Magnum/.38 Spl, .44 Magnum/.44 Spl, .30-30 Win, and .45-70 Gov’t. The HUSH Series strikes the perfect balance of traditional feel and modern performance.

Designed To Be Silenced
Lever actions already offer excellent balance and speed, with the added suppressor-friendly benefit of a closed action during firing. Their HUSH Series takes this a step further. Every component forward of the receiver is optimized to minimize weight. This keeps the rifle’s natural center of gravity intact even when a suppressor is mounted. The result is a no-compromise suppressor host that retains the instinctive handling and quick follow-up shot capability of a lever.
Match-Grade Carbon Fiber Barrel
At the heart of the HUSH Series is a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel, wrapped in a tension-loaded roll of carbon fiber. This is supplied through a collaborative partnership with BSF Barrels of Delavan, Wisconsin. This design creates a 95% air gap between the carbon and steel. It reduces weight, promotes faster cooling, and ensures temperature stability. As the steel heats and expands, the carbon sleeve expands with it. This prevents delamination and maintains accuracy during extended shooting sessions.

Adaptable. Balanced. Purposeful
The forearm is a skeletonized aluminum design, created in collaboration with TAPCO, The American Parts Company. Its slim profile, lightweight, and M-LOK compatibility allow fast attachment of hunting or shooting accessories without adding bulk. A receiver-mounted Picatinny rail made with advanced ARRIS Technology forged carbon fiber gives you the freedom to mount your preferred optic. In contrast, a threaded muzzle makes it ready for your suppressor of choice. Refer to the specifications listed below for caliber-specific thread patterns.
The matte dark gray American hardwood laminate buttstock conceals more than meets the eye. It’s hollowed out just enough to remove some weight while retaining exceptional durability. The checkering and rubber recoil pad provide increased purchase and comfort. Opting for the laminate buttstock ensures the familiar wood-to-skin touch that’s missing from full aluminum builds. Additional visual and functional enhancements—like a matte-finished outer magazine tube, lever, and trigger—round out the series with thoughtful finishing touches. After all, we have to make it look good, too.
Made in America, Or Not Made at All
The SPD HUSH Series is the debut release from Henry’s Special Products Division and represents thier commitment to innovation without compromise. Each one is built and fine-tuned in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It is backed by a Lifetime Warranty and comes with their 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
