RICE LAKE, Wis. – May 9, 2025 – At the National Police Defense Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Awards Dinner, Henry Repeating Arms Founder and CEO Anthony Imperato presented custom one-of-a-kind engraved rifles to several distinguished honorees, including former ICE Director and current Border Czar Tom Homan, who was named the National Police Defense Foundation’s 2025 Man of the Year.

Due to his position in President Trump’s cabinet, Homan respectfully declined to accept the firearm, though he joked, “Maybe I should resign so I can take this beautiful rifle!” Instead, Homan asked that the custom New Original Henry Silver Deluxe Engraved rifle, which features engraved seals of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), be used to raise funds for the Border Patrol Foundation (BPF), a 501(c)(3) non profit organization established in 2009 to honor the memory of fallen U.S. Border Patrol agents. BPF also provides financial support to USBP agents, employees, and their families for on- and off-duty deaths, injuries, illnesses, and student scholarships.
In an emotional moment that drew a rousing round of applause, Imperato responded, “Now you’ve got my juices flowing – I’m going to add $50,000 on top of whatever this rifle brings at auction.”
Mr. Homan graciously signed the accompanying hand-built American walnut tabletop display case, which will be included in an online auction with the custom rifle within 30 days. All proceeds from the auction will be presented to the Border Patrol Foundation. Including prior cash and product donations, the $50,000 will make Henry’s total contributions to the Border Patrol Foundation exceed $100,000. Join the Henry Repeating Arms newsletter to be notified about the auction’s timing.

RICE LAKE, Wis. – May 1, 2025 – During a patriotic evening at the NRA Foundation Banquet in Atlanta, Georgia, Andrew Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms, presented a Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition rifle to Medal of Honor recipient and Georgia native Maj. Gen. James Livingston, USMC (Ret.). The presentation celebrated both General Livingston’s extraordinary career of service and this year’s milestone anniversary of the United States Marine Corps.
Wickstrom addressed the crowd with a tribute to General Livingston’s valor and his decades of service as a Marine, stating, “Tonight, we are here to celebrate that legacy by honoring one of the finest living embodiments of what it means to be a Marine. His courage, leadership, and selfless devotion to those around him represent the very best of what it means to be a Marine and an American.”
Major General Livingston served 33 years in the United States Marine Corps, earning the Medal of Honor for going above and beyond the call of duty on May 2nd, 1968, during the Battle of Dai Do in Vietnam. Following Vietnam, he held several critical leadership roles, including overseeing the final airlift from Saigon, commanding at Parris Island, and leading Marine Corps Forces Reserve through significant transformation. In his retirement, General Livingston continues to serve his country and community as an advocate for America’s youth and military veterans.

Introduced this year, the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition rifle features intricate engravings commemorating two and a half centuries of honor, courage, and commitment, with artwork representing the branch’s contributions throughout American history. Henry Repeating Arms is also developing a similar rifle chambered in .45-70 Gov’t, which is being unveiled at Modern Day Marine in Washington, D.C.
“Let us carry forward the legacy of heroes like Major General Livingston — with courage, determination, and an unwavering commitment to faith, family, and freedom,” concluded Wickstrom to a standing ovation.
The HUSH Series from Henry Repeating Arms’ Special Products Division is now available, providing hunters and enthusiasts with the ultimate suppressor host. (Henry Repeating Arms)
RICE LAKE, Wis. – April 25, 2025 – Henry is proud to introduce the HUSH Series. The new line of suppressor-optimized lever-action rifles is the debut release from the company’s Special Products Division (SPD), a new R&D initiative focused on forward-thinking innovation. This release marks a significant expansion in Henry’s modern firearm offerings with a platform purpose-built to deliver the optimal solution for suppressed shooting and hunting without compromising weight and balance.
Lever-action rifles have long been celebrated for their inherent balance, reliability, fast follow-up shots, and more recently, their innate suppressibility due to a closed action. The HUSH Series builds on those strengths by dramatically reducing the weight forward of the receiver, ensuring the rifle’s natural point of balance is preserved even with a suppressor mounted. These refinements define Henry’s Ultimate Suppressor Host (HUSH)—offering a quieter, smarter, and more capable solution for modern hunters and shooting enthusiasts.
“Suppressor use is growing rapidly, and for good reason,” said Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “It protects hearing, minimizes recoil, reduces game spooking, and improves the overall experience when out at the range. With the SPD’s HUSH Series, we deliver the best possible platform for running suppressed without compromise.”
Equipped with a match-grade carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel, a skeletonized aluminum forearm, a durable laminate buttstock, and a forged carbon fiber optics rail, the HUSH Series offsets the weight gain and balance impact of adding a suppressor. (Henry Repeating Arms)
Key features across the series include:
“With the HUSH Series, our engineering team started with a clean slate and a clear objective: design the ideal suppressor host from the ground up,” said Nick Chappell, Vice President of Engineering at Henry Repeating Arms. “Every design decision, from the carbon fiber tension-wrapped barrel to the aluminum forearm and forged carbon optics rail, was made to reduce weight, enhance balance, and maximize performance. This is the most technically advanced lever-action ever produced, and we’re just getting started.”
The HUSH Series is now shipping to Henry’s distribution network and will be available at Henry Dealers nationwide in five popular calibers: .45 Colt, .357 Magnum/. 38 Special, .44 Magnum/. 44 Special, .30-30 Win, and .45-70 Gov’t. The MSRP for each model is $1,999.
Each rifle is proudly built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

RICE LAKE, Wis. – April 9, 2025 – Henry is building on its legacy of acknowledging its most valued constituencies with the launch of the American Construction Industry Tribute Edition, a new addition to its venerable lineup of collectible Tribue Edition rifles that honors the men, women, and companies who build America from the ground up.
“America runs on the backs of its builders,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “This rifle is our celebration of all the skilled tradespeople who work on everything from blueprints to brick and mortar to shape our city’s skylines, put roofs over our heads, build roads, bridges, and most importantly, the foundation of our lives and future. This new rifle is our way of saying thanks.”
Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms, said, “We are proud to acknowledge the demanding and dangerous work, which requires a diverse range of skills. From carpenters and plumbers to electricians and engineers to ironworkers and excavators, the construction industry plays a vital role in shaping our communities and creating spaces for growth and progress.”
Built on the award-winning Henry Golden Boy .22 S/L/LR platform, this lever-action rifle, like the rest of Henry’s Tribute Edition rifles, features highly detailed engraved embellishments that pay tribute to some of the country’s most fundamental workforces and constituencies.
The right side of the nickel-plated receiver cover features a 24kt gold-plated “Proud to Build America” plaque, an engraving of the American flag, and a portrait of three construction workers standing proudly in front of steel I-beams. The left side shows a residential framer at work on a rooftop and a tower crane erecting a skyscraper—a nod to the vast scope of the construction trades. Both sides are bordered by a brick motif, symbolizing the industry’s foundational role in America.
The rifle’s genuine American walnut buttstock features a hand-painted yellow construction helmet beside a scroll banner reading “American Construction Tribute,” providing a lasting symbol of pride for those in the trades.
The fully functional work of art is chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle. It features a 20″ blued steel octagon barrel, brass buttplate and barrel band, adjustable sights, and the legendarily smooth action Henry firearms are known for.
The American Construction Tribute Edition is available now through licensed Henry Repeating Arms dealers nationwide. MSRP is $1,240.
RICE LAKE, Wis. – March 18, 2025 – Henry is announcing a firm commitment to establishing 100% of its manufacturing operations in the state of Wisconsin. The commitment includes transferring all of its Bayonne, New Jersey manufacturing operations to its newly expanded state-of-the-art headquarters in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and two additional facilities in nearby Ladysmith, Wisconsin. The company is also closing on a third Ladysmith facility in mid-summer 2025. This strategic transition accommodates the need for increased production capacity and better supports the company’s future growth driven by innovative firearms design.
Planting its flag firmly in the state of Wisconsin solidifies Henry Repeating Arms’ commitment to American craftsmanship in the heart of the Midwest and underscores the company’s relentless pursuit of enhancing the quality of its offerings, leading the industry in both aesthetic and functional design engineering, and delivering unmatched value to its growing customer base.
“We are putting all of our eggs in one basket, the Wisconsin basket, because it makes us more efficient, more productive, and allows for more collaboration amongst our design and engineering teams, all while sustaining and enhancing Henry’s solid reputation for quality,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “With about 400,000 square feet of cutting-edge manufacturing operations in four facilities within minutes of each other, Henry Repeating Arms is well positioned for its next chapter.”
“This transition allows us to double down on what we do best—making world-class rifles, shotguns, and revolvers right here in the heart of America,” said Andrew Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “Our Wisconsin operations have been essential to our success for a long time, and now it is the cornerstone of our bright future.”
Henry Repeating Arms has played a principal role in the increased consumer demand for American-made lever action rifles, a platform the company has been committed to since its founding. As the company introduces new, innovative lever-action rifles and expands into other segments, its increased capacity in Wisconsin accelerates speed to market, streamlines distribution, and enhances quality control to effectively meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s firearm enthusiasts, competitors, hunters, and collectors.

RICE LAKE, Wis. – March 4, 2025 – Henry founder and CEO Anthony Imperato recently honored Ralf Hartmann as the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) New York State Instructor of the Year, recognizing his exceptional contributions to hunter education and firearms safety. In recognition of his achievement, Imperato presented Hartmann with a custom serial-numbered Henry Side Gate Lever Action Rifle chambered in .360 Buckhammer.

The IHEA State Instructor of the Year award is given to educators in each state who go above and beyond in their efforts to instill safe hunting and firearms handling practices in new hunters. Nominated by Kelly Stang, wildlife biologist and New York State Hunter Education Program Administrator, Hartmann was selected for his dedication to the field over the past 11 years, during which he has introduced over 1,000 students to hunting and the outdoors.
Fluent in German, Hartmann has been instrumental in expanding hunter education accessibility to Amish and Mennonite students. His language skills have allowed him to teach courses tailored to these communities, and he has worked diligently to recruit, train, and supervise Amish and Mennonite instructors, the first of whom were certified in 2024.
A veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Hartmann credits his father for first introducing him to hunting and firearms safety. His early training included carrying an unloaded firearm in the field for a year before being allowed to hunt. In 1975, he pursued a German Hunting License, a rigorous process that involved a six-month course covering animal husbandry, genetics, wildlife identification, firearms knowledge, German hunting traditions, and laws, culminating in a written exam and in-person board interview.
Upon receiving the award, Hartmann expressed his dream of hunting Red Stags or Chamois in Europe, a nod to his deep appreciation for international hunting traditions.

In addition to celebrating Hartmann’s achievements, the Saranac Lake Fish & Game Club recognized Anthony Imperato, receiving a Certificate of Appreciation and Life Membership for his ongoing dedication to hunter education and conservation efforts.
Speaking on Hartmann’s impact, Imperato said, “Henry Repeating Arms has always recognized the unsung heroes of the firearms industry, the firearms instructors, who give up their own valuable free time and take money out of their own pockets to teach firearms safety, discipline, and the enjoyment of our shooting sports traditions to the youth and the first-timers of our great country. Congratulations to Ralf Hartmann, a most deserving NY State Instructor of the Year.”
RICE LAKE, Wis. – February 27, 2025 – Henry proudly announces the launch of the Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps and the men and women who have joined its ranks. Built on Henry’s award-winning Golden Boy platform, this highly embellished collectible lever-action .22 rifle honors the history, valor, and unwavering commitment of the Marines from their founding in 1775 to the present day.
A portion of the proceeds from each rifle sold will be donated to Semper Fi & America’s Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families. Henry Repeating Arms is also making an additional $25,000 donation in honor of the anniversary and in memory of the fallen Marines who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.
“For 250 years, the United States Marine Corps has stood as an unwavering symbol of bravery, sacrifice for the greater good, and selfless dedication to our country. We owe an unpayable debt to those who have worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and this rifle is our way of saying ‘thank you,’” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “This rifle is a tribute to a milestone anniversary in our nation’s history, but even more so, it is a salute to every Marine who has ever answered the call to serve.”
The United States Marine Corps was established on November 10, 1775, when the Second Continental Congress authorized two battalions of Marines to serve as a naval infantry force. Since then, the USMC has been the tip of America’s spear in conflicts around the world, a legacy captured with a collage of exquisitely detailed artwork and engravings on the new Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle:

RICE LAKE, Wis., January 2, 2025 – Henry is ushering in a new era with the launch of the Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR). This groundbreaking firearm sets new standards for quality, performance, and precision for the time-honored platform. Available in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO and .300 Blackout, the LASR represents the culmination of over 150 years of lever-action evolution and Henry’s exploration of cutting-edge manufacturing technology and techniques.
“The Lever Action Supreme Rifle is a testament to our commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries while preserving the soul of the platform that brought us to the dance,” said Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “With several patent-pending advancements on board, we’ve created a rifle that propels the lever action into the future.”

Key features include:
At its core, the Supreme boasts a quad-bar linkage and slider crank mechanism to drive the bolt and cycle rounds from the detachable box magazine. An internal hammer design keeps out dust, dirt, and debris to maintain reliability in harsh conditions. The six-lug rotating bolt face provides positive lockup and, paired with the blued steel free-floated barrel, exceptional accuracy. Out of the box, the Supreme ships with a 10-round Magpul® PMAG® and a 5-round capacity limiter for compliance with hunting regulations. Using a box magazine eliminates the bullet restrictions inherent to traditional tube magazines, so over time, the platform will yield additional calibers never seen before in the lever-action category.
“The lever-action platform remains as relevant and revered as ever,” added Wickstrom. “We’re thrilled to lead this new chapter in its history.”
