Henry Repeating Arms has introduced the Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps and the men and women who have joined its ranks. Built on the company’s award-winning Golden Boy platform, this highly embellished collectible lever-action rimfire rifle honors the history, valor and unwavering commitment of the Marines from their founding in 1775 to present day.

A portion of the proceeds from each rifle sold will be donated to Semper Fi & America’s Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans and military families. Henry Repeating Arms is also making an additional $25,000 donation in honor of the anniversary and in memory of the fallen Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.

“For 250 years, the United States Marine Corps has stood as an unwavering symbol of bravery, sacrifice for the greater good, and selfless dedication to our country,” said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We owe an unpayable debt to those who have worn the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, and this rifle is our way of saying ‘thank you.’ This rifle is a tribute to a milestone anniversary in our nation’s history, but even more so, it is a salute to every Marine who has ever answered the call to serve.”

A Tribute To 250 Years Of Indomitable Spirit
The United States Marine Corps was established on Nov. 10, 1775, when the Second Continental Congress authorized two battalions of Marines to serve as a naval infantry force. Since then, the USMC has been the tip of America’s spear in conflicts around the world, a legacy captured with a collage of detailed artwork and engravings on the new Spirit of the Corps Tribute Edition Rifle.

Its features include vignette depictions from the modern era of the Marine Corps, featuring a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, a V-22 Osprey aircraft and the first words of the Marines’ Hymn, “From the halls of Montezuma” on the right side of the receiver.

The left side of the receiver cover continues the hymn with “To the shores of Tripoli,” accompanied by vignettes portraying Marines from key conflicts throughout history, including World War II, World War I, the Vietnam War and the Revolutionary War’s Continental Marines.

Each key detail is 24-karat gold-plated atop a background of polished nickel plating. The American walnut buttstock features the iconic image of six Marines raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, with the flag selectively painted in red, white and blue by hand.

The walnut fore-end is engraved with another line from the Marines’ Hymn, “In the air, on land, and sea,” signifying the USMC’s ability to engage across all domains. The rifle is chambered for .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle and comes with an MSRP of $1,350.
