Henry Repeating Arms Celebrates Marine Corps Heritage with New Rifle
Henry Repeating Arms, a renowned figure in the American firearms market, has unveiled its latest product aimed at honoring the history and service of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) as it marks its 250th anniversary. The rifle, dubbed the
Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition, is based on Henry's acclaimed Golden Boy lever-action platform and is designed not only as a functional firearm but also as a deeply meaningful collectible.
A Symbol of Valor and Sacrifice
This tribute edition is more than just a rifle; it encapsulates the enduring spirit and legacy of the Marines, who have consistently demonstrated bravery and sacrifice since their inception in 1775. Each firearm is adorned with meticulous engravings and selective 24kt gold plating, highlighting the artistry and craftsmanship that Henry Repeating Arms is known for. The rifle celebrates important moments in Marine history and is designed to be an aesthetic display piece as well as a tribute to those who served.
Design Features and Details
The
Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle boasts stunning visuals and thoughtfully designed elements:
- - Detailed Engravings: The right side of the receiver showcases significant scenes from Marine Corps history, featuring vehicles like the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle and the V-22 Osprey, along with the opening lyrics of the Marines' Hymn: ‘From the halls of Montezuma.’
- - Historical Context: On the left side, the continuation of the hymn is depicted alongside representations of Marines in key conflicts, such as World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Revolutionary War's Continental Marines.
- - Artistic Finishes: Key elements are enhanced with 24kt gold plating set against a polished nickel background, providing a luxurious contrast that elevates its status. The walnut buttstock features the iconic Iwo Jima flag raising image, lovingly hand-painted, while the forearm is engraved with a famous line from the hymn, ‘In the air, on land, and sea.’
Offering versatility, this rifle is chambered for .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle and is priced at an MSRP of $1,350, available through authorized Henry dealers nationwide. Additionally, possessing the
Henry Wall Display makes it a perfect presentation piece, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts wanting to honor military sacrifices.

In line with its mission to give back to the community, Henry Repeating Arms has pledged to donate a portion of the proceeds from each
Spirit of the Corps rifle sold to Semper Fi & America's Fund, an organization committed to supporting injured service members and their families. Furthermore, Henry Repeating Arms will make a significant additional donation of $25,000 to commemorate this milestone anniversary and honor the fallen Marines who have served.
Henry Repeating Arms' founder and CEO, Anthony Imperato, articulated the deep respect held for the Marines, stating,
“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.’”
