Henry Repeating Arms has introduced the Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps. The details are in Henry Repeating Arms's press release. The rifle is built on the Golden Boy platform and is positioned as a highly embellished collectible.
What Was Announced
Henry is releasing a commemorative lever-action rifle chambered in .22 rimfire. The company says the design is meant to honor the Corps' history from its founding in 1775 through the present. Henry CEO Anthony Imperato described the rifle as a thank-you to Marines, past and present, and a salute to the anniversary.
Key Details

What It Means for Gun Owners
This is a collector-oriented rimfire rather than a field or range gun, and the price reflects the embellishment. Buyers who want a Golden Boy with heavy commemorative work now have a Marine Corps option. Anyone interested in the charitable side should note that only a portion of each sale goes to Semper Fi & America's Fund, a nonprofit that supports wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and their families.
