The History of Haenel Company

C.G. Haenel is a German manufacturer in the weapons industry, based in Suhl, a small city in the Free State of Thuringia. The company dates back to 1840 when it was founded by Carl Gottlieb Haenel, the Prussian commissioner for firearms manufacturing. They started out with the production of weapons and bicycles, which was quite common at the time as it goes hand in hand.

In 1887, a weapon designer named C.W. Aydt joined the company and designed the Aydt rifle and pistol. At the beginning of the 20th century, Haenel massively produced the Mauser Model 98 for the German Army, which was used during the First World War. In 1921, another weapon designer, Hugo Schmeisser, joined the company. Soon after that, they started producing submachine guns, based on his design, despite a ban by The Treaty of Versailles. In 1928, the company introduced the MP28, which was used by German law enforcement.

Even with Schmeisser’s success, Haenel went bankrupt several times during that period. They formed an association named the United Suhl-Zella-Mehlisser Arms Factories with several other arms manufacturers. They produced over ten thousand units of the Sturmgewehr 44 for the Nazis. Following their defeat in the Second World War and the occupation by the Soviet Union, arms production companies were hit by the war reparations. Later on, Haenel began producing air and hunting rifles by the brand name Haenel Suhl.

In 2008, the company was reinstated and renamed to its original name but under different ownership. They introduced plenty of new hunting rifle series, including Jaeger 8, Jaeger 9, bolt-action Jaeger 10, semi-auto SLB 2000+, and Jaeger 11 shotgun. They also designed a new Jaeger NXT straight-pull rifle in 2021.

Haenel Jaeger NXT Rifle Review

Haenel Jaeger NXT is a straight-pull rifle with a kick-down bolt handle. The rifle is optimized for lead-free .308 Win. ammunition but can use lead cartridges as well. The magazine can hold five rounds. Jaeger NXT has an M15x1 threaded barrel with removable iron sights. Instead of using the traditional wood stock or the robust synthetic stock, Jaeger NXT combines the two with their environmentally friendly composite wood stock.

The rifle has a crisp direct trigger with a pull weight of 1000 grams (35 oz). It is 1035 mm to 1045 mm (40.7-inch to 41.1-inch) long and is accompanied by a 520 mm (20.5-inch) barrel.
