Henry Repeating Arms is marking the nation’s 250th semiquincentennial with a heavily embellished, ultra-limited release: “America’s Founding Fathers Collection.” Comprising seven distinct lever-action rifles—each dedicated to a key architect of the republic—the run is strictly capped at 250 serialized units per founding father, built entirely out of their Rice Lake, Wisconsin facility. Stepping away from standard production utility, these commemorative models feature nickel-plated receiver covers with full-coverage engraving, selective 24kt gold plating highlighting individual portraits, and museum-ready, exhibition-grade American walnut stocks. While the individual rifles stand as elite collector’s pieces, Henry is also offering just 10 complete sets of matching low serial numbers for the ultimate collection. It is a high-end, artistic tribute that leans heavily into traditional American craftsmanship for a major historical milestone.
In 250 years, the country has marked few anniversaries like this one. Henry marked it the only way we know how: by building something in Rice Lake, Wisconsin worth keeping for the next 250.
Each rifle honors one of the men who made the republic, and only 250 of each will ever be built. Every one carries an engraved, nickel-plated receiver cover with selective 24kt gold plating and museum-ready Exhibition-grade American walnut stocks, the highest grade of wood Henry uses.
Individually, each rifle stands on its own. Together, the seven tell the whole story of the founding, from the Declaration to the Constitution to the first Supreme Court. There are only 10 sets of low, matching serial numbers available. The full set is the way this series was designed to be owned, and it is offered at a set price below the total of the seven rifles bought separately. Complete collections of matching serial numbers will not be available after the 10 sets are sold.
