Henry Donates Serial No. 1 of All Three America’s 250th Anniversary Rifles to Benefit Gun Owners of America

All three models plus 5,400 rounds of ammunition sell as a single lot on GunBroker September 6 through 20, with 100% of proceeds funding the organization’s education and litigation

RICE LAKE, Wis., September 9, 2026 — Henry has donated serial number 1 of all three models in its America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition collection to benefit Gun Owners of America (GOA). The donation is made through the company’s charitable program, Guns For Great Causes, and 100% of the winning bid goes to Gun Owners Foundation, the GOA nonprofit that funds and litigates the organization’s court cases. The three rifles, along with 5,400 rounds of commemorative ammunition donated by The Kinetic Group, sell as a single lot on GunBroker.com (item #1202022622).

Bidding opens at $3,999 and closes Sunday, September 20 at 8:00 PM CT. These have never been offered before as a complete set at any price.

The lot includes the H001TL-250 rifle in .22 S/L/LR, the H001Y-250 Youth Model in .22 S/L/LR, and the H010BG-250 rifle in .45-70 Gov’t. Each carries serial number 1, making the set the first example of every model in the collection.

The ammunition from The Kinetic Group includes two cases of Federal Henry Birthday Boy .45-70 Gov’t, 400 rounds in total, and two cases of 250th Anniversary Edition Champion .22 LR, 5,000 rounds in total.

The collection was introduced in 2026 to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. All three models share a waving American flag applied in full-color red, white, and blue Cerakote, Fancy-grade American walnut hand-selected for grain and figure, a polished nickel buttplate, and a 250 anniversary logo engraved and silver-filled into the corner of the buttstock.

“We build firearms because of a right that people have had to defend in federal court, over and over, to keep,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Gun Owners of America does that work. We held serial number 1 of this entire collection until the right cause came along, and this is it.”

Gun Owners of America is a grassroots organization representing more than two million members and activists. In August 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled in a case brought by GOA and Gun Owners Foundation that key National Firearms Act registration requirements are unconstitutional as applied to items Congress recently reduced to a $0 tax, and blocked the ATF from enforcing them against the plaintiffs, their members, and their customers. Cases like that take years, and they take money. This auction helps fund the next one.

The three rifles are new and unfired in original factory packaging and will not be sold separately. As with any firearm transaction, delivery is made through the winning bidder’s licensed federal firearms dealer, and the buyer is responsible for confirming legality in their jurisdiction.
