Henry Repeating Arms is proud to pay tribute to the American Firefighter. Through the years, their rifles have delighted firefighters with a high quality keepsake and helped departments raise desperately needed funds through local fundraising efforts. With the personalization program,these rifles have marked the years of service of a retiring firefighter, and sadly, honored the loss of others in the line of duty. Of all the editions made, the annual Firefighter Edition is a project that they always pour their hearts into. What comes from their efforts is a picture of how we and all Americans see you, The Authentic American Hero. Detailed engraving on both sides of the American walnut forearm, with a state-specific banner on the right side and "2012 Authentic American Heroes" in the banner on the left side. The right side of the American walnut buttstock is engraved with an intricate, original piece of artwork that depicts the 2012 theme "No Life Is Too Small to Save". Finally, the left side of the receiver is engraved with elaborate artwork depicting the same theme and the centerpiece on the right side is a full color Maltese Cross. Each rifle is individually numbered on the right side of the receiver: 1 of 25, 2 of 25 and so on.

The 22 Long Rifle is the world's most popular cartridge, with annual production well into the billions of rounds. Developed in 1887 for blackpowder, it has been loaded with smokeless powder since the 1890s. The 22 Long Rifle is a rimfire cartridge using the .613-inch case developed for the 22 Long, but standard is a heavier 40-grain bullet at 1180 feet per second. .22 Long Rifle ammunition is widely manufactured and varies tremendously, from sub-sonic and match ammunition at lower velocities to lighter bullets at higher velocities, all the way to a 30-grain bullet at 1700 feet per second. With low report, almost no recoil, and superb accuracy the 22 Long Rifle has no equal for short-range target shooting, plinking, and training in both rifle and pistol; and with high velocity hollow-point ammunition is extremely effective for small game and pests out to perhaps 75 yards. Virtually all manufacturers offer 22 Long Rifle, with choices in both rifles and handguns in all action types. — Craig Boddington
