Description
Henry’s rimfire lever guns have a devoted following among small game hunters, plinkers, and collectors who appreciate a platform with genuine American heritage. The factory trigger on these rifles is functional, but it reflects the constraints of a production design built to a price point. Timney’s drop-in replacement addresses that directly, targeting a pull weight in the 2.5 to 3 pound range — light enough that you stop fighting the trigger and start placing shots more deliberately, without crossing into territory where a rimfire hunting rifle becomes a liability in the field.
The trigger is single-stage and nonadjustable, which means there is no take-up to work through before the break. That consistency matters when you are calling your shot on a squirrel at the edge of a woodlot or trying to group tightly from a bench. Because the pull weight is fixed at the factory, each unit leaves Phoenix hand-assembled and tested before shipping, so you are not tuning a mechanism — you are installing a finished, calibrated component.
Fitment covers Henry rimfire lever action rifles, and installation is designed to be completed without a gunsmith. The curved shoe variant listed here suits shooters who prefer the traditional lever-gun trigger geometry. Construction is steel with a matte black finish, and the whole assembly carries Timney’s lifetime warranty. This is a straightforward upgrade for anyone who shoots a Henry rimfire regularly and finds themselves anticipating the factory trigger rather than reacting to it.
