Henry Repeating Arms recently announced the expansion of its Spirit of the Corps Rifle Series in celebration of the United States Marine Corps 250th anniversary. The initial model quickly sold out after its launch in March, prompting the company to create 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 Govt. Company founder and CEO Anthony Imperato stated, "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." The two new rifles reflect the rich history of the Marine Corps, designed to honor both the sacrifices made by service members and the pride of ownership held by collectors and enthusiasts. The first new model, the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR (H004MC2), is built on the renowned Golden Boy platform. This lever-action rimfire rifle features intricate engravings based on a hand-engraved master plate, providing maximum detail with 24-karat gold-plated highlights set against a nickel-plated background. The American walnut buttstock is beautifully designed with full-color portraits depicting significant historical events, framed by the banner, In the Air, On Land, And Sea. With a suggested retail price of $1,350, it combines aesthetic appeal with functionality, catering to younger shooters or those looking for a family-friendly firearm. On the other hand, the Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary Edition .45-70 Govt (H010BGMC) reflects customer demand for a robust, larger caliber firearm. Chambered for the storied .45-70 Government, this rifle pairs a nickel-plated, hardened brass receiver with ornate gold highlights and premium semi-fancy American walnut furniture. Inscriptions from the Marines Hymn adorn the receiver, while the buttstock features inspiring imagery of hands triumphantly raising the U.S. flag. Priced at $2,360, this model not only offers power and precision but serves as a testament to the Marine Corps' enduring legacy. Both rifles are manufactured in Wisconsin and come with Henry Repeating Arms Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. They are currently available nationwide through Henry dealers. However, it is important to note that these rifles are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially licensed by the U.S. Marine Corps. The decision to expand this line comes at a time when military-themed collectibles are gaining traction among firearm enthusiasts and collectors alike, creating a buzz within both firearm forums and social discussions. As the shooting community continues to express a desire for commemorative editions, Henry Repeating Arms is positioned to meet that demand while celebrating the history and legacy of the Marine Corps.
