Henry carbine vs youth model

[5.56]

I want to get a Henry lever action small enough for my young daughter to shoot. I like the carbine with the large loop lever. The youth model has the same length barrel, same weight but one inch shorter over all length. Does anyone know if the only difference is an inch less on the stock? The Henry website isn't that clear.

I added a pic of my Henry .22 pump with a vortex 2-7.

Barrel is 2.4” shorter and lop is an inch shorter on the youth model.

16.1” barrel and 13” LOP on the youth model.

13" LOP is too big for a young child. That is more suitable for a teenager or adult.

I went with a savage rascal for my 9 yr old daughter. It has a 11.25" LOP and weighs about 2.5 lbs. Fits her perfect and is light enough for her to handle and shoot unsupported.

I went with the Henry Youth Model for my son when he was about 9. It worked fine and like all Henry's I have tried, works very smoothly. The visible hammer is a great safety aid as you can easily see if the rifle is cocked or not. My son is now 22 and that Henry is bruised and battered from miles on his ATV. I cannot count how many rabbits, ground squirrels and prairie dogs that it has accounted for. I put a low powered scope on it so I have no input on the iron sights. To make it even cooler for him, I bought myself the full-sized version so we matched.

The stock is now too short for him, but he is keeping it for when he has children. Another option is to get a full-sized stock and have a handy little Trapper version.

Can you get a regular gun and then get a youth stock for it when he grows some.

Or even just get an extra stock, cut it down, and then install it. When he's big enough for the original full size stock, put it back on the gun. That way he'll have, and can use, his first gun his entire life.

Youth model also loads 12 whereas the H001 Classic loads 15. I've shot the youth model and i'll say I rather like the compact feeling of it but i've never shot the Classic. I'm 5' 11'
