RICE LAKE, Wis., December 18, 2025 — As the United States of America nears its 250th anniversary, Henry Repeating Arms is announcing the release of The Spirit of ’76 Semiquincentennial Edition, a museum-grade, limited-edition rifle honoring the nation’s founding and the ideals that shaped it. Limited to just 250 rifles, this exclusive offering stands among the most refined and historically significant firearms ever produced by the company.
The rifle is built on the legendary New Original Henry platform, a line-for-line reproduction of the world’s first lever-action rifle patented by Benjamin Tyler Henry in 1860, save for the modifications needed to accommodate the more modern .44-40 WCF cartridge it’s chambered for.
At the heart of the rifle is a nickel-plated brass receiver, fully engraved and selectively highlighted in 24-karat gold, serving as a canvas for a sweeping visual narrative of the American Revolution. The engravings depict pivotal moments and enduring symbols of independence, including Revolutionary War battlefield scenes, Independence Hall, the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Betsy Ross flag, a majestic bald eagle, and an engraved rendering of the battle sword carried by George Washington.
The rifle is fitted with a polished blued steel one-piece octagon barrel and 13-round magazine tube, and features a buttstock crafted from hand-selected rosewood, personally chosen by Henry Repeating Arms Founder and CEO Anthony Imperato for its richness and character. Completing the rifle is a nickel-plated brass crescent buttplate with a period-correct trapdoor, underscoring the historical authenticity of the design.
“This extraordinary country that we are so privileged to live and do business in was founded by ordinary people with an unshakable belief in their God-given right to freedom,” said Imperato. “With this rifle, we wanted to create something that honors their courage and conviction. Something worthy of being preserved, passed down, and remembered long after this anniversary has passed.”
Each rifle is individually serialized from USA250TH001 to USA250TH250 and is only available factory-direct for $4,115.

RICE LAKE, Wis., December 9, 2025 — Henry has launched a new product from its performance-oriented Special Products Division called the SPD PREDATOR – the most accurate lever-action rifle ever built and the only one backed by a three-shot sub-MOA guarantee from the factory.
Built on the same advanced architecture as the Lever Action Supreme Rifle, recently named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo, the SPD PREDATOR adapts that award-winning platform for smaller, more agile targets, longer distances, and rapidly changing shot opportunities. The result is a lightweight, yet stable, suppressor-ready rifle optimized to deliver the precision needed for successful predator and varmint hunting.
In testing, the Special Products Division team made repeated one-mile shots, an unheard-of feat for any lever-action. At the core of its performance is a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel tension-wrapped in carbon fiber for improved rigidity, faster cooling, and reduced weight. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 to accept a suppressor, giving hunters major advantages when pursuing predators, including reduced recoil, a quieter sound signature for improved communication in calling setups, and help preventing spooking multiple animals during a stand.
A forged carbon-fiber Picatinny rail offers a rock-solid foundation for LPVOs or high-magnification predator optics, allowing hunters to transition seamlessly between fast shots and precise long holds. The gray laminate buttstock and forearm provide weatherproof durability and include an adjustable comb system to ensure a repeatable cheek weld for consistent accuracy. The factory-tuned trigger breaks at a crisp four pounds with end-user adjustability, and MSR-pattern magazine compatibility adds flexibility in the field. Each rifle ships with a Harris S-LM bipod for immediate, stable shooting support.
“The SPD PREDATOR represents a leap forward for the lever-action category,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder & CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The team set out to create a rifle that meets the demands of serious predator hunters, and they delivered something truly groundbreaking. This is a lever-action that competes squarely with precision bolt-action rifles, while preserving the quick follow-up shots and nimble form factor that hunters love about lever guns.”
Every SPD PREDATOR is engineered, built, and individually certified by an SPD engineer in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
A New Original Henry Deluxe Engraved Edition Rifle bearing the Seal of the President of the United States raised $47,500 for the FLEO Foundation.
PALM BEACH, Fla., November 13, 2025 — A one-of-a-kind New Original Henry Deluxe Engraved Edition Rifle sold for $47,500 during a live auction at the 1st annual Big Blue Bash hosted by Law Enforcement Today at Mar-a-Lago on Veterans Day.
Proceeds will benefit the Federal Law Enforcement Officers (FLEO) Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit serving 30,000+ members of the FLEO Association and their immediate families with expedited financial relief when tragedy occurs in the line of duty. The foundation also awards $80,000 in scholastic awards annually to assist children of federal law enforcement officers seeking a college education.
The exclusive “Presidential” Henry features the Seal of the President of the United States engraved on both sides of a polished brass receiver surrounded by ornate scrollwork inspired by the 19th-century masters of firearms engraving. It was built as a faithful line-for-line reproduction of the historic 1860 Henry, the world’s first successful repeating rifle. Its custom serial number, TRUMPDJ4547, pays tribute to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. The winning bidder will also receive a hand-built, velvet-topped walnut tabletop display.
Bidding escalated as the auctioneer described its unique nature to a crowd of more than 600, including U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, as well as many decorated veterans.
“This is a showpiece of American craftsmanship, patriotism, and history, all in one. There will never be another like it,” said the auctioneer. “Abraham Lincoln’s Henry rifle belongs to the Smithsonian, but this one could belong to you,” he exclaimed before dropping the hammer to a round of applause.
“Our federal officers and their families need a show of support now more than ever, and it was an honor to build this rifle knowing its proceeds would benefit such a worthy cause,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms.

Recently awarded the Editor’s Choice for Best Rimfire Rifle by Petersen’s Hunting, the Henry Small Game Rifle offers a premium feature set catered to dedicated small game hunters.
RICE LAKE, Wis. – November 7, 2025 – Henry is proud to announce that the Henry Small Game Rifle has been selected as the Editor’s Choice for Best Rimfire Rifle by Petersen’s Hunting.
In the article, editors praised the rifle’s premium feature set, stating, “The Henry Small Game lever-action rimfire is available in either carbine (17-inch barrel) or rifle (20-inch barrel) versions, and both models come with octagonal steel barrels and Skinner ghost ring sights. Both the carbine and rifle versions are chambered in either .22 WMR or .22 LR, and the latter is capable of firing .22 Long and .22 Short ammunition as well.”
The Small Game Rifle and Carbine add field-ready features to Henry’s most time-tested rimfire platform and America’s most popular rimfire lever action, the H001 Classic Lever Action .22. Upfitted with a factory-installed Skinner® peep sight, the rifle offers the quick, intuitive target acquisition needed when hunting small, agile animals like squirrels and rabbits.
This honor follows several recent awards for Henry Repeating Arms, including the Guns & Ammo 2025 Rifle of the Year award for the Lever Action Supreme Rifle and the NASGW-POMA Caliber Award for Best New Rifle for the Field Ethos SPD HUSH Series. Together, these recognitions reflect Henry’s ongoing commitment to innovation, quality, and delivering products that provide value to its customers.
“Our primary goal is to make firearms that people love to shoot and are proud to own,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The Small Game Rifle is a perfect example. It’s simple, effective, affordable, and the buttery smooth action makes it a joy to use. We’re grateful to the editors for recognizing what makes this item special.”
A Compact, Rugged, Ultralight, Suppressor-Ready Lever Action Optimized for Expeditionary Hunting
Featuring a carbon fiber tension-wrapped stainless-steel barrel and the use of DLC and Cerakote® for weatherproofing, the SPD CRUSR Rifle is optimized for worldwide expeditionary hunting.
RICE LAKE, Wis. – November 5, 2025 – Henry today announced the release of the SPD CRUSR Rifle, a collaborative project between Henry’s Special Products Division (SPD) and Field Ethos. The ultralight lever action is designed to shrug off the elements with a best-in-class feature set tailored to professional guides, backcountry outfitters, and hunters who push their expeditions deep into the world’s most unforgiving places.
“The CRUSR Rifle was developed because we wanted the lowest maintenance, lightest, most compact lever gun ever made in .45-70 Gov’t,” said Jason Vincent, Founder and CEO of Field Ethos. “The cartridge will kill anything on earth, and the ammo is available globally. We wanted a rifle you’d never have to think about, and this is it.”
Key features
- Match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel with tension-wrapped carbon fiber sleeves for substantial weight reduction and enhanced barrel cooling.
- Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on moving parts, like the hammer, trigger, bolt body, and side-loading gate, for superior wear and corrosion resistance.
- H-238 Midnight Blue Cerakote® finish across the sights, barrel, receiver, lever, outer mag tube, and thread protector for weather protection and a subdued field appearance.
- H-294 Midnight Bronze Cerakote® aluminum M-LOK® forearm and matching synthetic buttstock for modularity, weight reduction, and additional weatherproofing.
- Factory-installed Picatinny rail with integrated adjustable ghost ring rear sight and brass bead front sight
- Ghosted “FE” logo on the receiver to signify the Field Ethos collaboration.
Measuring 35.25″ overall with a 16.5″ carbine-length barrel, its compact form is ideal for long miles in tight timber, steep ascents, or space and weight-constrained bush flights. At just 6.7 lbs., it sheds unnecessary bulk without compromising strength through smart material choices, and the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle ensures seamless suppressor integration for recoil and sound signature reduction. It delivers more than enough stopping power for all seven continents with a 4+1 capacity of .45-70 Gov’t and enough structural overhead to handle +P hunting cartridges. Unlike other Henry lever actions, the outer magazine tube is devoid of a cartridge cutout to maximize Cerakote coverage, keep out dirt and debris, and eliminate the shine of the brass inner magazine tube from showing externally.
“The Field Ethos team brought an undeniable energy to the product creation process, and the CRUSR Rifle is a direct result of that energy,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “With the Special Products Division, we set out to create truly specialized, out-of-the-box configurations for specific use cases, and this rifle achieves that mission by setting a new benchmark for modern expedition-grade lever guns.”
The SPD CRUSR Rifle (model H010FE) is now shipping to Henry dealers nationwide. MSRP $2,499.
The Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR) from Henry Repeating Arms was awarded 205 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo magazine.
RICE LAKE, Wis. – October 30, 2025 – The Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR) from Henry Repeating Arms was just named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo magazine, one of the firearm industry’s most respected and widely distributed publications.
Selected through their rigorous annual evaluation process, which includes extensive field testing, in-store availability checks, and value assessments, the LASR rose above every other new rifle introduced in 2025 to earn the top honor.
In their feature story, which hits newsstands on November 5th, Guns & Ammo praised Henry’s innovation and engineering, writing:
“Henry’s achievement is nothing short of remarkable.
The editors highlighted the Lever Action Supreme Rifle’s ability to reliably feed from commonly available MSR-pattern detachable box magazines, an unprecedented feature for a lever-action rifle in large-scale production, and the proprietary quad-bar linkage action that allows flawless, smooth operation without interference from the magazine. They also recognized the rifle’s sub-MOA accuracy potential, suppressor-ready design, exceptional handling qualities, and the usage of premium materials.
Henry’s Ultimate Suppressor Host (HUSH) Series offers a feature set designed to maximize ergonomics and performance while using a suppressor.
RICE LAKE, Wis. – October 17, 2025 – The SPD HUSH Series from Henry Repeating Arms has been named Best New Rifle in the 2025 Caliber Awards, presented by the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) and the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) during the NASGW Expo & Annual Meeting in Grapevine, Texas.

Launched in April at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits as the first release under Henry’s Special Products Division (SPD), Henry’s Ultimate Suppressor Host (HUSH) Series is purpose-built to maximize the inherent strengths of the lever action platform as a suppressor host. Quieter than a semi-automatic and faster to operate than a bolt action, the rifles maintain a natural point of balance and overall weight even with the addition of a suppressor, which is achieved through the combination of a lightweight, match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel shrouded in a tension-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and a skeletonized aluminum M-LOK® handguard to reduce weight forward of the receiver.
“Our Special Products Division is one for one with major industry awards, which says a lot about the talent and creativity of the team,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The early success of the SPD HUSH Series shows that innovation is alive and in good hands at Henry, and we may need to invest in a bigger trophy case for what’s to come.”
George Thompson, Director of Product, adds, “Suppressors are becoming inseparable from modern shooting sports and hunting, and for good reason. With the SPD HUSH Series, we delivered a bespoke solution that doesn’t feel compromised. To receive this level of accolade so early in the product’s lifecycle, and as the first release coming out of our Special Products Division, is very gratifying.”
The SPD HUSH Series is now shipping to Henry dealers nationwide.
