Henry Repeating Arms is now shipping its America's 250th Anniversary Tribute Edition through authorized dealers nationwide, the Ridgeland, Wisconsin manufacturer announced in a press release on its official website. The limited collector series spans three lever-action rifles — two H1 rimfire models and an H10 chambered in .45-70 Government — arriving in the same week the country is celebrating 250 years of independence.
The full-size H1 Tribute Edition, model H001TL-250, runs a 20-inch blued steel octagon barrel with fully adjustable sights and a large-loop lever, feeds .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle from a 16-round tubular magazine, and carries an MSRP of $1,199. A youth companion, the H001Y-250, shortens the package to a 16.5-inch round blued barrel and 13-round LR capacity while retaining the same commemorative finish. At the top of the collection sits the H010BG-250, built on Henry's H10 platform and chambered in .45-70 Government — the cartridge that has been part of American firearms history since 1873 — with a 22-inch blued octagon barrel, large-loop lever, sling swivel studs, a drilled-and-tapped receiver, and a $1,999 MSRP.
All three rifles share the defining features of the series. Each nickel-plated receiver is covered in a waving American flag rendered in full-color red, white, and blue Cerakote. The furniture is Fancy-grade American walnut, hand-selected for grain and figure, fitted with a polished nickel-plated buttplate. A 250th anniversary logo engraved and silver-filled on the corner of the buttstock ties the set together visually. Henry confirmed that all three rifles pass the same production inspection standards as the regular line before receiving the commemorative treatment.
Federal Premium Ammunition announced a coordinated "X Henry 250th Collection" of American-made .22 LR and .45-70 cartridges packaged to complement the rifles, giving buyers a matched set for the display case or the range. American Rifleman covered that pairing alongside the rifle announcement.
Henry's commemorative editions have historically drawn strong secondary-market premiums, and prior anniversary models — including the Spirit of the Corps Marine Corps 250th tribute limited to fewer than 1,000 units — sold through dealer allocations within months of release. No production ceiling has been announced for the America's 250th Tribute Edition, but buyers interested in the full three-rifle set should confirm dealer stock sooner rather than later.
