Sling attachment guidance for the Henry H001. Check your exact configuration and both connectors before choosing the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS). Factory attachment points do not by themselves confirm a direct fit.
Front attachment
Model-specific swivel kit where no base is installed — aftermarket attachment option.
Henry Outfitters lists swivel kit HGTSW40 for specified H001, H003 and H004 rifles without factory studs. Check the kit’s exact application and your rifle’s existing fittings. The listing does not mean every Henry rimfire uses the same kit.
Aftermarket attachment option: confirm the connector fits and closes fully on the exact attachment. The existence of a loop does not establish McLean connector clearance.
Rear attachment
Kit-specific rear attachment for the fitted stock — aftermarket attachment option.
A rifle without a rear base needs the appropriate stock attachment as well as a swivel. Confirm the kit contents and installation requirements before purchasing; a sling alone does not add the missing stock fitting.
Aftermarket attachment option: confirm the connector fits and closes fully on the exact attachment. The existence of a loop does not establish McLean connector clearance.
Why this sling on the Henry H001
A rimfire spends its life being carried around a property, a range or a trapline. It is light enough that people put up with a bad sling — but the same cinch-and-release that suits a duty rifle just makes it easier to keep both hands free.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the rifle against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the rifle. Unload and clear it following the firearm manufacturer’s instructions before fitting any accessories.
- Front: confirm a compatible connector and follow the sling and attachment manufacturer instructions.
- Rear: confirm the matching connector for your stock or rear attachment; do not assume a slot, stud and QD cup are interchangeable.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Choosing hardware for your configuration
Henry lists the referenced kit for one-inch slings. That webbing specification is separate from verifying hook clearance and the McLean rear connection. Check both ends of the intended setup.
The legacy H001 designation should not be confused with the newer H001-22 H1 family in Henry’s 2026 substitution information. Identify the exact model marking and stock before applying older accessory guidance to a newer rifle.
Questions
Does the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS) fit the Henry H001?
Compatibility depends on the exact configuration and connectors. Confirm both attachment points and the connector fit before ordering. A factory attachment point does not by itself confirm a direct fit for the McLean sling.
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Henry H001?
The McLean sling already carries a front hook. Choose a compatible attachment loop or swivel for that hook, and confirm its clearance and closure on your exact setup before buying additional hardware.
What do I need to buy for the Henry H001?
Front: Aftermarket attachment option: confirm the connector fits and closes fully on the exact attachment. The existence of a loop does not establish McLean connector clearance. Rear: Aftermarket attachment option: confirm the connector fits and closes fully on the exact attachment. The existence of a loop does not establish McLean connector clearance.
What length sling do I need for the Henry H001?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
