Henry Repeating Arms has introduced the Founding Fathers Collection, a series of seven Tribute Edition rifles honoring the men who shaped the American republic: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Jay, and Alexander Hamilton. The series arrives as the United States of America continues to celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence.
Every rifle in the series is limited to 250 individually numbered pieces. Beyond the individual editions, Henry is reserving just 10 complete matched sets, each carrying the same number across all seven rifles, for collectors who want the full series as a single unified set.
The Founding Fathers Collection is built on the Henry Golden Boy Silver, chambered in .22 S/L/LR with a 20-inch polished blued octagon barrel. Each rifle features a nickel-plated receiver cover with engraving highlighted in 24kt gold, depicting the featured founder alongside imagery tied to his role in the nation’s history, the years 1776 and 2026, and the “America’s Founding Fathers” and “Series of Seven” markings. The receiver artwork is produced by mechanically transferring a hand-cut master engraving to each rifle, a process that preserves the sharpness and detail of the original master across the full edition.
The stock and forend of every rifle are made from Exhibition-Grade American Walnut, the finest grade of walnut Henry offers. The wood is sustainably sourced from old-growth trees, and its deep marble figure, fiddleback grain, and high-contrast mineralization are the product of a century of slow growth that cannot be rushed or replicated at scale.
“This is, without a doubt, the most ambitious tribute series we’ve ever done,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder & CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We put our finest walnut and our best engraving work into each one. I think collectors are going to understand right away why these are so special.”
Like every Henry firearm, the Founding Fathers Collection is made entirely in the United States, at the company’s facilities in Wisconsin. Each rifle is roll-marked “Henry Repeating Arms, Rice Lake, WI, Made in USA.”
The Founding Fathers Collection is available now, factory-direct, exclusively at HenryUSA.com. Individual rifles are $1,776. The complete matched sets are $10,150 while they last, priced below the cost of the seven editions purchased individually.
