Henry Spirit of the Corps Rifles Expand for Marine Corps’ 250th Anniversary

October 21, 2025

Henry Repeating Arms just added two commemorative lever-actions—a .22 and a .45-70—to its “Spirit of the Corps” lineup honoring the USMC’s 250th anniversary. Collectors and lever fans who missed the first run now have fresh options—available through dealers right now.

On October 2, 2025, Henry announced two new “Spirit of the Corps” models: the 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition .22 S/L/LR and a new .45-70 Gov’t trim. Both feature patriotic engraving and upgraded furniture, bringing back the tribute series that sold out earlier this year. If your safe has room for a proudly American lever-action (or two), these are purpose-built to scratch that itch without feeling like a rerun.

What’s New

• Two trims, two missions: A reissued .22 S/L/LR for approachable price and range fun, plus a new .45-70 Gov’t for fans of the historic big-bore cartridge—each wearing commemorative artwork and premium wood/metal finishes.
• Available now: Henry says the rifles are shipping to dealers nationwide; expect typical limited-edition dynamics (translation: don’t dawdle).
• Standout spec highlight: The .45-70 Gov’t model pairs a nickel-plated, hardened-brass receiver with 24K gold accents and upgraded walnut—classic lever looks with heirloom vibes.

Why It Matters

• Collectors: Factory-engraved tributes often disappear fast; the 2nd Edition gives a second chance without aftermarket markups.
• Lever lovers: Whether you’re into rimfire plinking or big-bore nostalgia, these trims turn range sessions into conversation pieces.
• U.S.-made pride: Both rifles continue Henry’s “Made in America, Or Not Made at All” ethos—and yes, they’re backed by the company’s warranty.
