A few months ago, Henry Repeating Arms released a special engraved lever-action rifle in salute to the United States Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary. The limited-edition rifle sold out far more quickly than anyone anticipated, and the Corps' anniversary passed. Or did it? After all, we have all of 2025 to celebrate that anniversary, so Henry has answered the ongoing customer demand with two new models: the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR and the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary .45-70 Gov’t.
“The response to the first rifle was remarkable, and we knew we had to continue this milestone collection for those who missed out the first time around,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “These new models pay homage to the branch’s 250 years of being both sword and shield for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, and the millions of men and women who have answered the call to serve amongst its ranks.”
The 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR was built on the award-winning and world-renowned Golden Boy platform. This lever-action rimfire rifle features mechanically transferred engravings based on a hand-engraved master plate for maximum clarity, with 24K gold-plated highlights against a nickel-plated backdrop. The genuine American walnut buttstock showcases full-color portraits throughout history standing in front of the flag of the United States of America, while the forearm bears the banner: “In the Air, On Land, And Sea.” The MSRP is $1,350.
The .45-70 Gov't version was introduced in direct response to customer feedback requesting a larger caliber option for the series. This rifle is chambered in the historic and hard-hitting .45-70 Government. It's no coincidence that Henry chose a cartridge once used by the United States Marine Corps until 1897. It pairs a nickel-plated, hardened brass receiver with 24K gold highlights and upgraded Semi-Fancy American Walnut furniture. The receiver features inscriptions from the Marines’ Hymn, while the buttstock depicts a crowd of hands triumphantly raising the U.S. flag. The MSRP is $2,360. Visit HenryUSA.com for more information.
