Henry Repeating Arms has sold out of its Salute to the United States Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary rifles it introduced in March. That first edition has been discontinued, but to meet demand that has not slowed, the company has created 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.”
Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR (H004MC2)
Built on the award-winning Golden Boy platform, this lever-action rimfire rifle features mechanically transferred engravings based on a hand-engraved master plate for maximum clarity with 24-karat 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 fore-end bears the banner: “In the Air, On Land, And Sea.” MSRP is $1,350.
Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary Edition .45-70 Gov’t (H010BGMC)
Introduced in direct response to customer feedback requesting a larger caliber option for the series, this rifle is chambered in the powerful and historic .45-70 Govt., a cartridge used by the United States Marine Corps until 1897. It pairs a nickel-plated, hardened brass receiver with 24-karat 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. MSRP is $2,360.
Both rifles are made in Wisconsin and backed by Henry Repeating Arms’ “Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.” They are available now through Henry dealers nationwide.
