The Explorer Carbine Series combines lightweight carbine handling with a durable Burnt Bronze Cerakote® finish. Offered across Henry’s H9, H10, and H12 platforms in .30-30 Win, .360 Buckhammer, .45-70 Gov’t, .357 Magnum/.38 Special, and .44 Magnum/.44 Special. MSRP: $1,430.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 19, 2026 — Henry has started shipping its new Explorer Carbines, first shown at the 2026 SHOT Show. Available across the company’s most popular centerfire platforms, the new models combine distinctive styling with enhanced durability.

The Explorer Carbine draws inspiration from the rugged landscapes of the American Southwest, a region defined by sun-scorched earth and canyon stone. Each rifle features a Burnt Bronze Cerakote® finish applied to the lever, receiver, barrel, and outer magazine tube, reflecting those natural tones. This inaugural Burnt Bronze configuration represents the first in a potential series of regionally inspired finishes, each intended to capture the distinctive character and colors of America’s diverse landscapes. In addition to its warm, understated appearance, the Cerakote application provides increased resistance to physical and environmental wear, delivering long-term protection while creating a refined, custom-shop look without the custom-shop price tag.

Beyond the looks, Henry’s Explorer Carbines emphasize portability, balance, and fast handling. Each model is fitted with a threaded 16.5-inch carbine-length barrel, fully adjustable sights, and a receiver that’s drilled and tapped for optics. Sling swivel studs come standard, supporting comfortable field carry and practical everyday use. All Explorer Carbine models feature a checkered pistol-grip buttstock and fore-end cut from genuine American walnut and a ventilated rubber recoil pad.

The H9 Explorer Carbine is offered in .30-30 Winchester and .360 Buckhammer, each with a 4-round capacity. The H10 Explorer Carbine is chambered in .45-70 Gov’t and also features a 4-round capacity. The H12 Explorer Carbine is available in .357 Magnum / .38 Special and .44 Magnum / .44 Special, both with a 7-round capacity. The MSRP for the Explorer Carbine is $1,430.

“Sometimes a product tells you what it wants to be,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We produced a Burnt Bronze lever-action as an experiment, and it immediately stood out. The color evokes the landscapes of the American Southwest, which made the Explorer Carbine name a natural match. This is just the beginning, and we invite the Henry community to send us their ideas for other colors and regions that deserve their own spot in our catalog.”

Like all Henry firearms, the Explorer Carbine is proudly Made in America, Or Not Made At All, and is backed by Henry Repeating Arms’ Lifetime Warranty and industry-renowned customer service.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., February 3, 2026 — Henry donated Serial No. 01 of the American Cattleman Tribute Edition .30-30 rifle to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Political Action Committee (NCBA-PAC) fundraising auction, held Tuesday evening during CattleCon in Nashville, Tennessee. The first-of-its-kind rifle raised $31,500, making it the highest bid item of the evening and a standout moment of the auction.

Serial No. 01 represents the very first rifle produced in a special Tribute Edition series designed to honor the men, women, and livestock who keep America fed. With a solid, hardened brass receiver and genuine American walnut furniture as the canvas, the rifle is engraved and hand-painted with scenes including Angus cattle, a Texas Longhorn, and a banner that reads, “Long Live the American Cattleman.”

“America’s cattle producers play a vital role in our economy, our food supply, and our way of life,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Their continued success means success for our country as a whole, so we’re proud to support NCBA-PAC and the important work they do on behalf of the beef industry.”

In addition to the rifle, Henry Repeating Arms included a hand-built walnut tabletop display and a box of Federal Premium’s new Cattleman Edition .30-30 ammunition.

Proceeds from the auction will directly support NCBA-PAC’s efforts to advocate for policies and political candidates that protect cattle producers and strengthen the future of American agriculture.

The American Cattleman Tribute Edition .30-30 rifle is available for a limited time, factory-direct from Henry. Learn more at HenryUSA.com/cattle.

The new Protector Carbines and Provider Rifles from Henry Repeating Arms bring more pistol-grip stocked and threaded barrel options to their rapidly expanding catalog of American-made rifles, shotguns, and revolvers.

RICE LAKE, Wis., January 20, 2026 —

Henry is launching two new product families with its Protector Carbines, which are compact and suppressor-ready for everyday utility and peace of mind, and its Provider Rifles, which are dedicated hunting rifles focused on putting meat in the freezer, season after season.

“The lever action is one of the most versatile rifle platforms ever made, but that doesn’t mean they’re always one-size-fits-all,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The new Protector Carbines and Provider Rifles offer new configurations with a clear purpose to suit the real-world needs of American rifle owners.”

Provider Rifles: Built for the Woodsman

The Provider Rifles are designed for hunters who value the ergonomics of a pistol-grip stock and maximum capacity over the ability to mount a suppressor. Each features a 20” non-threaded blued steel barrel paired with a longer tube magazine capable of holding up to 6 rounds in the rifle calibers and 10 rounds in the pistol calibers.

Provider Rifle calibers include

All Provider Rifles carry an MSRP of $1,135.

Protector Carbines: Built to Be Ready

Protector Carbines are lighter, more compact, and built to live unobtrusively close at hand. With shorter 16.5″ barrels and threaded muzzles for use with a suppressor, these carbines emphasize maneuverability, comfort, and everyday capability.

Protector Carbine calibers include:

All Protector Carbines carry an MSRP of $1,200.

Both Protectors and Providers feature a matte blued steel receiver finish, checkered genuine American walnut pistol-grip stocks, ventilated, pre-installed sling swivel studs, fully adjustable sights, and receivers drilled and tapped for optics mounting.

The new Protector Carbines and Provider Rifles are shipping now and available for sale through an authorized Henry dealer.

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.
