Henry Repeating Arms is introducing two limited edition lever action rifles celebrating the company’s 25th anniversary. These rifles pay tribute to Henry Repeating Arms’ founding and America’s continuing love for lever action firearms.
Anthony Imperato, Henry’s founder and CEO, said, “In the gun making business, twenty-five years makes us a new kid on the block, but I am endlessly proud of how far we have come. These new rifles are not only a toast to what we do best, which is building guns, but it’s a toast to every single one of our employees and customers that have made Henry Repeating Arms a part of their lives and keeps us striving for our very best, day in and day out.”
