Henry Celebrates USMC's 250th Anniversary with Special Edition Rifle

Henry Repeating Arms has unveiled the Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle to commemorate the United States Marine Corps' 250th anniversary and honor all who have served in this elite branch of the military. This collectible firearm, built on Henry's acclaimed Golden Boy platform, is a meticulously crafted lever-action rimfire rifle that pays homage to the Marines' storied history of valor and commitment since their 1775 founding.

For each rifle sold, Henry will donate a portion of proceeds to Semper Fi & America's Fund, a nonprofit organization providing crucial financial assistance and lifetime support to wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and their families. Additionally, Henry Repeating Arms is making a separate $25,000 donation to mark this significant anniversary and memorialize fallen Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the nation.

"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," said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. "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.' 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 naval infantry. Since then, the USMC has been at the forefront of American military operations worldwide—a legacy captured through elaborate artwork and engravings on the Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle.

The right side of the receiver features detailed vignettes depicting the modern Marine Corps, including a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, a V-22 Osprey aircraft, and the opening words of the Marines' Hymn: "From the halls of Montezuma."

Continuing the tribute, the left side of the receiver cover displays "To the shores of Tripoli," alongside vignettes illustrating Marines from pivotal conflicts throughout American history, including World War II, World War I, the Vietnam War, and the Revolutionary War's Continental Marines.

These intricate details are rendered in 24-karat gold plating set against a polished nickel background. The American walnut buttstock features the iconic image of six Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima, with the flag hand-painted in red, white, and blue.

The walnut fore-end is engraved with another line from the Marines' Hymn—"In the air, on land, and sea"—highlighting the USMC's multi-domain operational capabilities. The rifle is chambered for .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle ammunition and carries an MSRP of $1,350.
