Henry Repeating Arms has long been known for its high-end lever-action rifles, which is a technology that's been with us for over 100 years now. But as we've seen over and over again, Henry understands that the lever gun is a wonderful platform for even the most modern advances. Now, the company has just announced its new Special Products Division (SPD), a collaborative hub dedicated to pioneering advancements in firearms design and technology to explore what’s possible. SPD will serve as the home for Henry’s most technically advanced firearms ... and that quite soon, with the first SPD products due in spring 2025.

The Special Products Division, headquartered in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, was created to lead while others follow. With a focus on advanced materials and metallurgy, cutting-edge manufacturing processes, and collaborating with other leaders in their respective spaces, SPD aims to deliver practical solutions that set a new bar for their use cases, whether it’s a backcountry hunter seeking the most rugged, ultralight, long-distance hunting rifle, or a discerning hobbyist wanting the best platform for their suppressor.

“The Special Products Division represents a significant leap forward for us,” states Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “Over the last few years, we’ve brought in some of America’s brightest minds in firearms design and developed a deeply rooted culture of exploring the unknown. This isn’t about following trends; it’s about leading with purpose and innovation to create new ones.”

“As an engineer, the unique challenges and questions being answered by those in the Special Products Division are exhilarating,” said Nick Chappell, Vice President of Engineering. “Our team is empowered with the autonomy necessary for these types of projects, and backed by an extensive array of tools, resources, and connections both within and beyond the firearms industry to ensure results of the highest quality. We foster a culture of discovery and originality and are excited to showcase the capabilities of the Special Products Division to the world.”
