Henry's Single Shot is a centerfire rifle with a matte finish with a steel frame. It features a round barrel, brass bead front sights, Leaf Rear sights and is drilled/tapped for optional scope use. The stock is constructed of walnut, with a curved pistol grip wrist and solid rubber recoil pad. The action has no external manual safety; it uses a rebounding hammer that can't touch the firing pin unless the trigger's deliberately pulled and an interlock system that doesn't allow the barrel to open if the hammer is cocked.
