Henry SPD HUSH Series 45-70 Gov’t

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—our 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—

Designed To Be Silenced

Lever actions already offer excellent balance and speed, with the added suppressor-friendly benefit of a closed action during firing. Our HUSH Series takes this a step further. Every component forward of the receiver is optimized to minimize weight, keeping 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 that lever guns are known for.

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, supplied by way of a collaborative partnership with BSF Barrels of Delavan, Wisconsin. This design creates a 95% air gap between the carbon and steel, reducing weight, promoting faster cooling, and ensuring temperature stability. As the steel heats and expands, the carbon sleeve expands with it—preventing delamination and maintaining accuracy during long shooting sessions.

Adaptable. Balanced. Purposeful.

A skeletonized aluminum forearm keeps weight down without sacrificing strength. Its slim profile and M-LOK^® compatibility make it easy to mount accessories while preserving the rifle’s natural balance. A receiver-mounted Picatinny rail made with advanced ARRIS^® Technology forged carbon fiber gives you the freedom to mount your preferred optic, while a threaded muzzle makes it ready for your suppressor of choice. See 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, and 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.

A Smarter Way to Hunt

By shooting suppressed, you reduce felt recoil, protect your hearing, and lessen disruption to surrounding game. It’s a smarter, safer, and more ethical way to hunt—and now there’s a rifle built specifically for it.
