The Henry Repeating Arms Frontier Evil Roy Carbine is a lever-action rifle chambered in .22 WMR. It's a collaboration with cowboy action shooter Evil Roy, and the design reflects that background: large loop lever, octagonal barrel, and a brushed nickel receiver against a blued barrel. The American walnut stock is properly fitted, not just decorative.

Usage 

The .22 WMR gives this carbine more reach than a standard .22 LR, making it a practical choice for small game like rabbits and squirrels. It works equally well at the range or in competitive cowboy action shooting. At 5.5 lbs and 34.25 inches overall, it handles easily for extended sessions. The lever action cycles fast enough that follow-up shots aren't a bottleneck.

Henry rifles tend to draw consistent praise for fit and finish, and the Evil Roy is no exception. Owners highlight the walnut stock and the quality of the metalwork. The .22 WMR chambering gets good marks for its balance of power and recoil, manageable but with more energy downrange than a .22 LR.

The lever action operates smoothly out of the box, and reliability is a common theme across ownership reports. It cycles various .22 WMR loads without issues.

Nostalgia is a real factor in why people buy lever guns, and the Evil Roy leans into that. Cowboy action shooters and collectors both tend to gravitate toward it for the classic lines. The out-of-the-box performance means most owners don't feel compelled to modify it, though the grooved receiver accommodates optics if wanted.

Value is generally considered solid at the price point. Henry commands a premium over budget lever guns, and most buyers feel it's justified by the quality.
