Henry Repeating Arms Unveils Limited Edition Rifle for America's 250th Anniversary
As the United States gears up for a momentous celebration marking its 250th anniversary, Henry Repeating Arms has rolled out a captivating new collectible: The Spirit of '76 Semiquincentennial Edition rifle. This heirloom-grade firearm, limited to a mere 250 pieces, is designed not just to commemorate a significant milestone but also to pay homage to the very principles that underpin the nation.
This exclusive offering is based on the historically renowned New Original Henry platform. The design is a meticulous, line-for-line reproduction of the iconic lever-action rifle patented in 1860 by Benjamin Tyler Henry, though it is adapted to accommodate the modern .44-40 WCF cartridge. With its striking nickel-plated brass receiver, fully engraved with 24-karat gold accents, the rifle narrates the gripping stories of the American Revolution through its artful engravings.
Among the beautifully depicted scenes are key moments from the Revolutionary War, including battlefields and Independence Hall, representations of the Declaration of Independence signing, the Betsy Ross flag, and even a majestic bald eagle. Each image not only enhances the rifle's visual appeal but also serves as a tribute to the bravery and ideals of those who fought for America’s independence.
In addition to its aesthetic charms, the rifle's practical features include a polished blued steel octagon barrel and a 13-round magazine tube. The buttstock, crafted from hand-selected rosewood, was personally chosen by Henry Repeating Arms’ Founder and CEO, Anthony Imperato, highlighting its exceptional quality and character. Completing the design is a nickel-plated brass crescent buttplate with a trapdoor that reflects the historical authenticity of the firearm.
“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,” Imperato expressed. “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 in this limited run is serialized individually from USA250TH001 to USA250TH250, ensuring that each piece is not only a collectible but also a unique work of art. The rifle is available directly from the factory for $4,115, emphasizing its exclusivity and prestige.
