RICE LAKE, Wis., October 22, 2026 — Henry just launched a limited edition of 50 custom “Team Zach” lever-action rifles as part of their Guns For Great Causes program to benefit Zach Bryant, a three-year-old from Cambridge City, Indiana, who is in treatment for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The rifles, donated by Henry, are selling online and at auction with every dollar raised going directly to Zach’s family to help cover the cost of his care. Proceeds are expected to exceed $35,000.
Of the 50 rifles, 47 are available now at HenryUSA.com for $675 each while they last, two are being auctioned, and one is being held for Zach’s family. The first and final rifles in the run, Serial Nos. TEAMZACH01 and TEAMZACH50, are up for auction on GunBroker.com (TEAMZACH01 | TEAMZACH50), with bidding on both closing Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Henry retains none of the proceeds from the sales or the auctions.
Zach was diagnosed at two and a half. His treatment includes chemotherapy, steroids, lumbar punctures, and bone marrow biopsies, and it is scheduled to run through March 2028. Most of it takes place at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, nearly two hours from the family’s home each way. Zach turned three this spring and, through all of it, he has stayed a happy kid according to his parents.
The money from Team Zach is meant for the costs that pile up around a long treatment plan: gas for a lot of four-hour round trips, hospital bills that keep arriving between rounds of chemo, and enough breathing room for two parents to focus on their son’s mental and physical wellbeing instead of the next statement in the mail.
Everything Zach loves made it onto the “Team Zach” rifle. Full-color artwork on the genuine American walnut buttstock shows a yellow dump truck with “Team Zach” on the door, a red race car with his name on the side, a checkered flag, and a fishing rod with a fish on the line, all beneath a “Team Zach” nameplate. The rifle is Henry’s H1 Frontier Carbine, a compact lever-action chambered in .22 S/L/LR with a 16.5-inch octagon barrel and a large loop lever, made in Wisconsin and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty. The rifles are serialized TEAMZACH01 through TEAMZACH50.
One of them is not for sale. Serial No. TEAMZACH48 will stay with the Bryants, who chose the number for Zach’s birthday, April 8. They plan to give it to him when he is old enough to understand what it stands for.
“Zach is three years old and has already gone through more than I hope most of us will in our entire lives,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We can’t make the treatment any easier for him, and we can’t cure cancer, but we can build something good, put his name on it, tell his story, and give the Henry Family an opportunity to help carry some of the load for his mom and dad.”
“The proceeds from the 50 donated rifles are an absolute blessing to our family during Zach’s cancer diagnosis,” said Logan Bryant, Zach’s father. “We are profoundly grateful to Henry Repeating Arms for their amazing compassion and dedication in making this campaign happen, and we cannot thank Henry and everyone who bid or bought a rifle enough for your incredible generosity.”
Team Zach is the latest campaign of Guns For Great Causes, Henry’s charitable program, which has supported families of sick children, children’s hospitals, military veteran organizations, law enforcement and first responder groups, Second Amendment advocacy organizations, and wildlife conservation efforts. Guns For Great Causes has donated more than $4 million to date.

RICE LAKE, Wis., October 5, 2026 — A GunBroker auction including serial number 1 of all three models in Henry Repeating Arms’ America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition collection closed Sunday, September 20 with a winning bid of $23,526, all of which Henry is donating to Gun Owners Foundation to fund the legal work of Gun Owners of America.
Henry donated the set through its charitable program, Guns For Great Causes, and served as the seller of record on the auction. The company retains none of the proceeds.
Bidding opened at $3,999 on September 6 and climbed over two weeks to its $23,526 close, more than five times the opening bid. The lot included all three rifles plus 5,400 rounds of commemorative ammunition donated by Federal Premium Ammunition.
Henry Repeating Arms is one of the leading firearm manufacturers in the United States and a world leader in the lever-action category. The company builds every firearm it sells at facilities in Rice Lake and Ladysmith, Wisconsin, where it employs more than 600 people across 400,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
Its commitment to American manufacturing is the reason the collection exists. The lever-action rifle is an American invention, patented by Benjamin Tyler Henry in 1860 as the first practical repeating rifle and the country’s signature contribution to firearms design. Henry built the America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition collection to mark the nation’s 250th year and chose to give the first examples ever produced to help defend the right that stands behind them.
There are three lever-action rifles in the collection: a full-sized and a youth-sized .22, and a .45-70 Gov’t. All three share a waving American flag applied in full-color Cerakote, Fancy-grade American walnut, and a 250-anniversary logo engraved and silver-filled into the buttstock. A matched set had never been offered before at any price.
“We built these rifles because of a right that people keep having to defend in court, so we gave serial number 1 of all three to help with the fight,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Our customers took it from there with this auction and carried it past our expectations. The set is going to go a good home, every dollar is going where it counts, and that is exactly what we hoped for.”
“Henry has long understood that supporting the Second Amendment means standing alongside the organizations and gun owners fighting to preserve it,” said Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America. “We’re incredibly grateful for their generosity and proud to work with a company that shares our commitment to defending the freedoms that have defined our nation for 250 years. Partnerships like this between the firearms industry and the grassroots Second Amendment community make our movement stronger and help us continue our no compromise fight to protect and restore the rights of gun owners across the country.”
Gun Owners Foundation is the nonprofit that funds and litigates the court cases brought alongside Gun Owners of America, 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 the organization that key National Firearms Act registration requirements are unconstitutional as applied to items Congress recently reduced to a $0 tax.
The auction is the latest project of Guns For Great Causes, Henry’s charitable program, which has supported families of sick children, children’s hospitals, military veteran organizations, law enforcement and first responder groups, Second Amendment advocacy organizations, and wildlife conservation efforts. Guns For Great Causes has donated more than $4 million to date.
Seven individually numbered editions. Only 250 of each, available exclusively at HenryUSA.com
RICE LAKE, Wis., September 16, 2026 — Henry has introduced the Founding Fathers Collection, a series of seven Tribute Edition rifles honoring the men who shaped the American republic: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton. The series arrives as the United States of America continues to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence.
Every rifle in the series is limited to 250 individually numbered pieces. Beyond the individual editions, Henry is reserving just 10 complete matched sets, each carrying the same number across all seven rifles, for collectors who want the full series as a single unified set. 
The Founding Fathers Collection is built on the Henry Golden Boy Silver, chambered in .22 S/L/LR with a 20-inch polished blued octagon barrel. Each rifle features a nickel-plated receiver cover with engraving highlighted in 24kt gold, depicting the featured founder alongside imagery tied to his role in the nation’s history, the years 1776 and 2026, and the “America’s Founding Fathers” and “Series of Seven” markings. The receiver artwork is produced by mechanically transferring a hand-cut master engraving to each rifle, a process that preserves the sharpness and detail of the original master across the full edition.
The stock and forend of every rifle are made from Exhibition-Grade American Walnut, the finest grade of walnut Henry offers. The wood is sustainably sourced from old-growth trees, and its deep marble figure, fiddleback grain, and high-contrast mineralization are the product of a century of slow growth that cannot be rushed or replicated at scale.
“This is, without a doubt, the most ambitious tribute series we’ve ever done,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder & CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We put our finest walnut and our best engraving work into each one. I think collectors are going to understand right away why these are so special.”
Like every Henry firearm, the Founding Fathers Collection is made entirely in the United States, at the company’s facilities in Wisconsin. Each rifle is roll-marked “Henry Repeating Arms, Rice Lake, WI, Made in USA.”
The Founding Fathers Collection is available now, factory-direct, exclusively at HenryUSA.com. Individual rifles are $1,776. The complete matched sets are $10,150 while they last, priced below the cost of the seven editions purchased individually.
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.
Additional auction details are available at gunbroker.com.
RICE LAKE, Wis., June 24, 2026 — Henry is now shipping the America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition Collection: three collector-grade lever-action rifles to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary of independence.
The collection includes two offerings of the H1 .22 S/L/LR, one full-size and one youth model, and an H10 chambered in .45-70 Gov’t. Each rifle in the collection shares the same defining features: a waving American flag rendered in full-color red, white, and blue Cerakote applied to a nickel-plated receiver, Fancy-grade American walnut selected for grain and figure, a polished nickel-plated buttplate, and a 250 anniversary logo engraved and silver-filled in the corner of the buttstock.
“Every firearm we build is a testament to our love of this country,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The lever-action was designed here over 160 years ago, and it has never stopped being a part of the American story. The 250th anniversary is an occasion worth marking properly, and we built this collection to do exactly that.”
The three rifles in the collection are:
America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition Rifle
Built on the H1 Frontier Rifle platform, one of the most respected rimfire lever-actions ever made, this full-size Tribute Edition features a 20-inch blued steel octagon barrel, fully-adjustable sights, and a large loop lever. Capacity is 16 rounds of .22 LR.
America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition Youth Rifle
The Youth Model carries the same finish, materials, and craftsmanship as the full-size Tribute Edition in a shorter, lighter profile suited to younger enthusiasts and those who prefer a more compact rifle. Features a 16.5-inch round blued barrel and 13-round LR capacity.
America’s 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition Rifle
The flagship of the collection, built on the H10 platform and chambered in .45-70 Government, a cartridge that has been part of American firearms history since 1873. The receiver is nickel-plated hardened brass. Features a 22-inch blued steel octagon barrel, large loop lever, sling swivel studs, and is drilled and tapped for optics. Capacity is 4 rounds.
RICE LAKE, Wis., June 15, 2026 — Henry is now shipping the H14 Long Ranger Big Woods Carbine, designed in collaboration with Big Woods Bucks (BWB) for whitetail deer hunting in tight timber. The rifle was unveiled at a launch event held at Frank’s Gun Shop in Amsterdam, New York, with representatives from both Henry Repeating Arms and Big Woods Bucks on hand.
The H14 Long Ranger Big Woods Carbine builds on Henry’s proven Long Ranger platform with changes driven by a single purpose: to give serious woods hunters a lever-action rifle ready for the specific demands of hunting and tracking in heavy timber, where shots are close, windows are short, and the rifle has to come up fast.
The carbine features a shortened 18.5-inch round blued steel barrel, bringing the overall length down to 39 inches and the weight under 7 pounds. It’s fitted with a factory-installed Skinner peep sight at the rear, paired with a bright fiber optic front sight. The combination is designed for the low-light, fast-acquisition demands of timber hunting.
Chambered in .308 Win / 7.62×51 NATO, it carries four rounds through a geared lever action with a six-lug rotating bolt face for strong and consistent lock-up. The receiver is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with a hard-anodized matte black finish.
BWB is a group of expert woodsmen from the Northeast known for their immersive approach to traditional whitetail hunting in heavy timber. The genuine American walnut buttstock carries the BWB logo engraved and colored in green plaid, marking the rifle’s collaborative origins and intent.
“The Long Ranger Big Woods Carbine is the perfect choice for lever-action hunting in the Big Woods,” said Master Maine Guide, author, and expert tracker, Hal Blood. “The short, light, smooth action topped with a Skinner peep sight is the perfect combination.”
“The Long Ranger has always been one of our most capable hunting platforms, and this collaboration gave us a clear direction for what a timber-specific version should look like,” said George Thompson, Director of Product at Henry Repeating Arms. “We’re proud of the trust that the BWB has placed in our Long Ranger, and I look forward to seeing our customers’ successful hunts this upcoming deer season.”
The Massachusetts Rifle Association Sesquicentennial Rifle, built on Henry’s Golden Boy platform, commemorates 150 years of American marksmanship and the legacy of Walnut Hill.
RICE LAKE, Wis., April 28, 2026 — As the Massachusetts Rifle Association (MRA) marked its historic 150th anniversary, Henry was selected to help commemorate the milestone with the introduction of a limited-edition Sesquicentennial Rifle, built on the company’s iconic Golden Boy platform. That rifle is now available to the public for a limited time, and Henry Repeating Arms is donating a portion of every sale back to the MRA to support their mission of promoting the shooting sports in a safe manner and friendly atmosphere.
Founded in 1875 by Civil War veterans, the Massachusetts Rifle Association is the oldest continuously operating gun club in the United States. Its Walnut Hill range in Woburn, Massachusetts, has served as a proving ground for generations of marksmen and innovators whose contributions helped shape modern firearms development and competitive shooting.
“It is truly an honor that we’ve been trusted to help such a storied outfit celebrate more than 150 years of operations,” said Anthony, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Walnut Hill is perhaps the most historically significant location to American shooting sports, and this rifle is our way of recognizing the people, ideas, and innovations that came from it.”
Historical records place the Massachusetts Rifle Association at the center of key developments in American rimfire shooting. Members such as A.O. Niedner conducted extensive cartridge and accuracy experiments at Walnut Hill, contributing to the refinement of the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, now one of the most widely used calibers in the world. The MRA also served as the birthplace of The Rifle, a publication founded by Arthur Corbin Gould that later evolved into The American Rifleman.
“For 150 years, generations of shooters have come to Walnut Hill and stood on the same ground, each leaving their mark and carrying something forward for those who would follow,” said Michael DuBois, MRA Director. “Today, it is our members and volunteers who continue that work, giving their time, passion, and dedication to something larger than themselves. This rifle is a tribute to those who came before us, a commitment to those who stand with us today, and a promise to carry that strength forward for generations to come.”
Chambered in .22 S/L/LR and outfitted with a blued 20-inch octagon barrel and genuine American walnut furniture, the rifle features detailed engravings that honor the MRA’s enduring role in advancing marksmanship. Each Sesquicentennial Rifle is offered at a factory-direct price of $690 and is available as a pre-order item, with every rifle built to order. Estimated production lead time is approximately 90 days, and all purchases must be shipped to a federally licensed firearms dealer in accordance with federal law.

Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, receives the 2026 Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award from Mark Keefe, Editorial and Public Affairs Director, during the National Rifle Association Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, Texas, on Friday, April 17, 2026. The award recognizes Imperato’s enduring contributions to the firearms industry, American manufacturing, and the shooting sports.
HOUSTON, TEXAS, April 18, 2026 — Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, received the NRA Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award on Friday, April 17, at the 2026 National Rifle Association Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Houston, Texas. Presented by Editor-in-Chief Mark Keefe and NRA Executive Vice President & CEO Doug Hamlin, the award is one of the organization’s highest recognitions for enduring impact on the firearms industry and America’s shooting sports traditions.
The honor represents a lifetime spent believing in something bigger: that American firearms manufacturing still mattered, that heritage still had value, that customers deserve personal service, and that a company could lead with principle in an industry too often forced to withstand political hostility, media pressure, and economic uncertainty.
Imperato’s journey in the firearms business spans more than four decades and nearly every corner of the industry. He has worked behind the retail counter, in wholesale distribution, in import-export, in surplus firearms, in law enforcement sales, and in manufacturing. That breadth of experience gave him something few industry leaders can claim: a deeply rooted understanding of not just how guns are made, sold, and marketed, but of the people who buy them, depend on them, collect them, and pass them down.
When much of American manufacturing was chasing lower costs overseas, and many firearms brands were following suit, Imperato took the opposite path. He committed himself to building a company rooted in American workers, American materials, and American craftsmanship, simply because he believed it was right. Under his leadership, Henry Repeating Arms proved that domestic manufacturing could still be profitable, scalable, and fiercely competitive. In doing so, he did more than build a successful company. He helped restore pride in American gunmaking at a time when that confidence was fading.
He also accomplished something few would have predicted possible in the modern era: he brought America’s lever-action rifle roaring back to relevance.
Before Henry Repeating Arms emerged as a dominant force, lever actions were often viewed as relics of the past, admired for their nostalgia but too often overlooked in the present. Imperato saw something more. He understood that the lever-action rifle was not obsolete. It was an unfinished story. Through his vision, Henry reintroduced the platform to a new generation of hunters, sport shooters, collectors, and families, preserving its soul while restoring its place in the marketplace. What others saw as old-fashioned, Imperato saw as timeless. In doing so, he not only revived a category but also redefined it.
Just as importantly, he built Henry Repeating Arms to stand for more than the firearms it produces. Throughout his tenure, Imperato has emphasized a responsibility inherent in building, selling, or owning firearms. He championed firearms safety, supported conservation, invested in youth shooting sports, and reinforced the idea that the Second Amendment is best protected not only by political advocacy, but by citizenship, stewardship, and example.
That same philosophy shaped Henry’s Guns For Great Causes program, which has donated several million dollars to children’s hospitals, families of sick children, veterans, first responders, law enforcement organizations, wildlife conservation initiatives, youth shooting sports, firearm safety education efforts, and Second Amendment causes. Through that lens, Imperato demonstrated that a firearms company could be both commercially successful and deeply civic-minded, proving that philanthropy, patriotism, and corporate citizenship can and should live under the same roof.
Imperato’s leadership style has always stood apart in another important way: he never allowed his role as founding CEO to put distance between himself and the customer. For more than two decades at Henry Repeating Arms, he personally answered emails and took phone calls from the very people who bought the company’s firearms. In an era when many executives become inaccessible the moment they reach the corner office, Imperato remained connected to the customer experience, a connection that became central to Henry’s identity. That personal involvement helped set a standard for customer service not only within the firearms industry but across any industry.
He was equally willing to challenge convention in the way firearms were marketed. Imperato broke with industry norms by pushing Henry into non-traditional publications, networks, and even infomercials, refusing to accept that firearms advertising had to follow a narrow, predictable script to the same audience over and over. That instinct to think differently helped expand Henry’s reach, broaden its audience, and give the company a voice unlike any other in the business, ultimately growing the number of customers for the industry as a whole.
At the center of it all has been a clear and consistent point of view. Imperato did not build Henry Repeating Arms by chasing trends or bowing to outside pressure. He led with clarity, independence, and long-term conviction. He reconnected firearms to American history and values without letting the company get trapped in nostalgia. He championed freedom, self-reliance, craftsmanship, and reliability while advancing the business. He proved that tradition and innovation are not opposing forces, but partners.
“The NRA Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award is an extraordinary honor, and I am deeply grateful to receive it,” said Imperato. “I’ve spent my life in this industry because I believe in what it represents. I am proud of what we have built at Henry Repeating Arms, and even more proud of the people who helped build it with me. This recognition means a great deal to me because it reflects not only where I’ve been, but what Henry still stands for today.”
The Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award recognizes individuals whose leadership and vision have left a lasting mark on the firearms industry. In honoring Anthony Imperato, the NRA recognized a man whose legacy reaches well beyond the company he founded. It is a legacy built on conviction over convenience, service over status, and an unshakable belief that American firearms manufacturing, done with integrity, still matters.
HOUSTON, TEXAS, April 19, 2026 — Henry Founder Anthony Imperato honored four Texans for their extraordinary courage and service during a special on-stage presentation Friday evening at the National Friends of NRA Event, held in Houston, Texas, including the first public recognition of three Austin Police Department officers for their actions in stopping the perpetrator of a recent mass shooting event in Austin.
The three officers were recognized together on stage and presented with Henry Law Enforcement Tribute Edition rifles for their quick response to the deadly attack in Austin’s crowded entertainment district. While the officers were identified during the live presentation, Henry Repeating Arms is withholding their names from print to respect their privacy and security while investigations remain ongoing.
“When innocent people were under attack, these officers ran toward danger and helped bring a murderous rampage to an end,” said Imperato on stage to a crowd of nearly one thousand attendees. “Their courage, professionalism, and willingness to put themselves in harm’s way for complete strangers represents the very best of law enforcement and the very best of America.”
Imperato said the recognition was especially meaningful as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
“As we look toward America’s 250th anniversary, we should recognize the people who continue to defend the lives and freedoms of others right here at home,” Imperato said. “The heroes we honored did not ask for the moments that tested them, but when those moments came, they answered.”
Also recognized during the presentation was Juan Lopez, who was honored for his life-saving actions during a shooting at a school event in Pasadena, Texas. Lopez was later awarded the Carnegie Medal, one of the highest civilian honors in North America, reserved for those who risk themselves to an extraordinary degree to save the lives of others.
Imperato presented Lopez with a Henry Texas Tribute Edition rifle in recognition of his bravery.
“Heroes do not always wear uniforms,” Imperato said. “Sometimes they are teachers, fathers, and good men who refuse to stand by when innocent lives are in danger.”
The presentation reflected Henry Repeating Arms’ longstanding commitment to honoring Americans who demonstrate courage, selflessness, and service to others.
The evening also included a strong show of support for the Friends of NRA mission to secure and advance the future of shooting sports. Henry Repeating Arms donated the last remaining Spirit of ’76 Semisesquintennial Edition rifle, which brought in $10,000 for the organization.
