From the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of Afghanistan, Americas servicemen and women have led the fight to preserve freedom around the world and to keep our own country standing tall. Many have given the ultimate sacrifice, all have contributed to our nation and values.
Pride doesnt begin to express how Henry Repeating Arms feels about this chance to salute our Armed Forces with an elaborately decked out tribute edition rifle. They have built on a time-honored tradition dating back to the Civil War, when ornately engraved Henry rifles were first presented to veterans as tokens of appreciation. The Military Service Tribute Edition is based on the Golden Boy and is chambered in .22 Long Rifle, .22 Long, and .22 Short, with the same adjustable sights, 20 octagonal barrel, walnut furniture, and half-cock safety notch on the hammer.From there, Henry Repeating Arms stepped up to a highly-polished nickeled receiver cover and added intricate scrollwork. The majestic American bald eagle surrounding a shield bearing the words, "IN RECOGNITION OF MILITARY SERVICE TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY," on the right side, and on the left side the Statue Of Liberty as the face of Americas democracy, opportunity, and hope next to the famed Liberty Bell that rang for a nation that, with the help of our military, will remain forever free. All images and the laurel leaf borders are selectively plated with 24K gold. The recognition, "SALUTING OUR MILITARY HEROES," is cut into the surface on both sides between the front and rear panels. The full-color Stars and Stripes are laser-etched and hand painted along with the words, "GOD BLESS AMERICA," on the stocks right side.
As a tribute to a returning military member, a graduation gift for a new boot just out of Basic, a thank y ou to a family member who served in the past, or a made it home celebration memento to yourself, this rifle can be a life-long reminder of duty calls answered, sacrifices made, and services appreciated.

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
