Got Lever Action? If the answer is No, then my condolences to you because really don’t know what you’re missing out on! A combination of fine American Steel, Wood, and Brass. Hand cranking everything from 22lr all the way up to 45-70 into the chamber always equals fun and enjoyment. Founded by Louis & Anthony Imperato, in Brooklyn NY. Henry Repeating Arms has been producing the highest quality Lever Actions based on Benjamin Tyler Henry’s original rifle since 1996.

Henry makes fine guns, but they have NOTHING to do with Benjamin Tyler Henry's rifle. Not only that, Mr. Henry was not around in 1996; he was largely behind the development of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. Oliver Winchester marketed the Henry Rifle in 1860 and it saw use in the Civil War, thanks to President Lincoln. In 1866 a new improved version was introduced, and in 1873 the first true Winchester Rifle came out using that name.
The new Henry rifles are unrelated design-wise to those old 19th century rifles from Winchester. They're actually more akin to Marlins. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
