Given the modern use of lever actions, it probably does not need a suppressor. However, if you want one, they are available. My question is, why increase the length of the firearm just to silence it when it can be silenced by default? Well, folks, that is exactly what the Integrally Suppressed Lever Action Rifle by Wren Metal Works brings to the table.
As the name suggests, it is a lever-action rifle, and it is suppressed. And if I may add, it looks absolutely incredible.
In fact, these Integrally Suppressed Lever Actions answer a very specific question: do you want a lever action that looks like it time-traveled from the Wild West, or one that looks like it came straight out of PUBG? This one clearly belongs in the latter camp.
Expect Picatinny rails, tactical stocks with cheek risers, ventilated front guards, front grips, and even AR-style magazine setups, depending on how far you want to take it. It is a lever gun, but it definitely skipped a few decades.
But beyond the tacticool makeover, the real highlight is the integral suppression system. Instead of adding a suppressor to the muzzle, the suppression is built into the rifle itself. The result is a cleaner profile and a quieter shooting experience without the extra length tacked on the front. It’d be easy on the ears, though I cannot say the same for your wallet. More on that in a bit.
As of now, Wren Metal Works offers four main configurations, all custom-built in the USA.
The Integrally Suppressed Lever Action is the general-purpose workhorse. It is designed to be dependable, functional, and beautifully handcrafted, essentially the everyday option if such a thing exists in this category.
Then there is the Integrally Suppressed Henry 8.6, which ups the ante with a match-grade aftermarket barrel chambered in 8.6 with a 1:5 twist, paired with a suppressor system built from titanium, 17-4 stainless steel, and 7075 aluminum.
For those leaning toward versatility and familiarity, the Integrally Suppressed Henry Supreme Lever Action .300 Blackout offers similar construction with materials like titanium and 17-4 stainless steel, bringing modern suppression tech to a widely used caliber.
And if none of the above quite hits the mark, there is always the Custom Lever Action Rifle route. From traditional aesthetics to something far more exotic, Wren Metal Works will build one to your liking.
If lever actions are not your thing, the company also offers integrally suppressed bolt-action rifles, just in case you still want quiet without the cowboy action.
If anyone is interested, prices for the Integrally Suppressed Lever Action range from US$6,200 to US$7,200, depending on the host rifle and finish. The Integrally Suppressed Henry Supreme Lever Action .300 Blackout lists for US$7,200, while the Integrally Suppressed Henry 8.6 comes in at US$8,200. Custom builds, depending on how far you want to go, range from US$3,123 to US$6,094.
