Henry Salutes The American Legion With New Tribute Edition Rifles

Well known for their special edition rifles Henry have introduced a new series of rifles celebrating The American Legion. The series includes three rifles, a .22 Golden Boy, a .44 Big Boy and a .357 Mag/.38 Spl Big Boy X. The first two rifles feature engravings with the American Legion’s four pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Youth. Henry say they will be donating a portion of every sale of the rifles to The American Legion. The Big Boy X has ‘American Legion’ embossed on its stock.

There is also a Gunbroker auction for the collection of serial number 1s of each of the three limited run rifles.

Here’s what Henry have to say about the new American Legion Tribute Edition rifles:

“Henry Repeating Arms, the world’s leading lever-action firearm manufacturer, is pleased to announce a new collection of tribute edition rifles to support The American Legion, its members, and their mission to enhance the well-being of America’s veterans, their families, America’s military, and communities through mutual helpfulness. The rifles are now available to American Legion members at discounted factory-direct pricing. Henry Repeating Arms donates a portion of every sale back to The American Legion.

To further support the partnership, Henry Repeating Arms is auctioning a collector’s set containing serial number one of each rifle in the series and donating all proceeds to The American Legion. The auction concludes on July 24 at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Chartered by Congress in 1919, The American Legion has more than 1.6 million members, making it the nation’s largest veterans service organization. The organization is largely responsible for the G.I. Bill, which made higher education, home ownership, and job training accessible to millions of World War II veterans and millions more veterans after that. American Legion members volunteer their time to mentor children and youth, including the Junior Shooting Sports Program. In fact, program alumni have gone on to win Olympic medals in the sport.

The American Legion Tribute Edition rifles are available in three unique models based on some of Henry’s most popular rifles. The Golden Boy American Legion Tribute Edition is chambered for .22 S/L/LR and features an engraved nickel-plated receiver cover with 24kt gold plated highlights. This rifle’s genuine American walnut forearm is engraved with the American Legion’s four pillars: Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Youth. The Big Boy Brass American Legion Tribute Edition steps up the firepower with a rifle chambered in .44 Magnum and .44 Special featuring an engraved receiver machined from a solid piece of hardened brass, an iconic octagon barrel, and genuine American walnut stocks. The third rifle in the collection, the Big Boy X Model American Legion Tribute Edition, offers maximum versatility and usability with durable synthetic furniture, fiber optic sights, and a threaded barrel, and it is chambered for the ubiquitous .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges. The buttstock is laser engraved with the American Legion logo.

“We are immensely grateful to America’s veterans and the organizations dedicated to supporting them and their families,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We build these rifles to honor their sacrifices and celebrate the driving spirit of The American Legion, which stands as a beacon of hope and progress for those who have served this country.””
