A million seconds is 11.57 days. In other words, a million is a lot. So it’s safe to say Henry Repeating Arms has sold a lot of .22 lever action rifles since it began production in March of 199. In Brooklyn, New York, no less. Before they moved production to Bayonne, New Jersey, would you believe it. We’re talking one million model H001s. Our good friends at gunbroker.com are auctioning-off Henry’s 1mth rifle for hunting charities. [Press release below.] Failing that, to paraphrase Woody, if you don’t have a Henry .22 lever gun, get one!
One Million Sold And Counting – Henry Repeating Arms Reaches Historic Milestone – Serial Number One-Million
Iconic firearms manufacturer announces the production of the one-millionth Henry Lever Action .22 rifle in its 20th Anniversary year
BAYONNE, NJ – December 18, 2017 – Henry Repeating Arms, one of the leading firearms manufacturers in the United States announced that it has manufactured the one-millionth Lever Action .22 rifle- known as the model H001. As with all Henry firearms and any product that bears the Henry name, it is made in America and sold in over 30 countries worldwide.
The first Henry Lever Action .22 rifles started shipping in March of 1997 from their original factory in Brooklyn, New York (above). The model was introduced with the corporate motto, “Made in America and Priced Right.” The company moved production in September of 2008 to their current 110,000 sq. ft. facility in Bayonne, New Jersey.
Over the years, several variations of the H001 were added including a youth model, a carbine with a large loop lever, octagon barreled editions, and additional calibers in .22 Magnum and .17 HMR. More than 2 million H001 series rifles have sold counting these variations. They are popular among firearms enthusiasts, in particular squirrel and varmint hunters, farmers, rimfire target shooters and “plinkers.” After 2 decades it still remains an exceptional value for consumers.
Anthony Imperato, President and owner of Henry Repeating Arms reminisces, “When I attended the SHOT Show in 1996 I displayed the prototype H001 on top of an 8-foot folding table. We didn’t have a big budget booth and it was a no-frills affair. I had no idea that it would go on to be a top seller, a staple of the firearms industry. My goal was to deliver value, quality, a smooth reliable action and of course, made in America.”
“This is the rifle that put Henry Repeating Arms on the map, energized the lever action market and resurrected the Henry name,” Imperato continues. “Hitting the one-million milestone validates that we have done something right. I couldn’t be more humbled by the incredible response and support Henry has received over the past two decades. I remain forever grateful to our customers, distributors, dealers and our employees.”
Auction will benefit organizations that support conservation, hunting, firearms safety, shooting sports programs and the 2nd Amendment
Recognizing the significance of Henry Repeating Arms’ milestone, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association of the firearms industry, selected the one-millionth H001 as the 2018 SHOT Show auction rifle.
The historic gun is being auctioned now by the Hunting Heritage Trust on GunBroker.com and will conclude on Friday, January 26, 2018, the final day of the 2018 SHOT Show. All proceeds from the auction will fund organizations that support the shooting sports, hunting, conservation, firearms safety, and those who defend the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of firearms history. And we have decided to make this one-millionth H001 ever more special and unique,” added Imperato. “This is the first-ever H001 to feature a silver-finished receiver, which distinguishes the rifle, and beautifies the custom hand-engraved scroll patterns. The rich engraving is completed with inlaid 24-carat gold and is set off exquisitely by the exhibition grade American Walnut stock.” This unique rifle was hand engraved by the artisans at Baron Engraving of Trumbull, CT.
Henry Repeating Arms is aiming to surpass the SHOT Show auction record of $136,014. This one-of-one rifle is available for sale at a public auction on Gunbroker.com. The auction will conclude on January 26, 2018.

The problem with New Jersey, is that it’s full of Jerzoids.
The movie sucks anyway.
It is important to understand the difference between legislation, and implementing regulations (regulations that put detail in the legislation is and executive branch function).
It is also import to understand that politicians want every decision and piece of legislation (and implementing regulations) to provide both the opportunity to “point with pride”, and “view with alarm.”
The executive branch has authority to expand or contract the “prohibited” person definition. (implementing regulation). In addition, states have the power and authority to determine: the threshold between felony and misdemeanor; the length of punishment for any crime. (any of this ringing any bells?)
So yes, it is possible for 2A “rights” to be tightly restricted without eliminating the second amendment. Regulated to the point that legal use of guns is only permitted in your home. And…you still have the RTKBA, but only as the government allows.
Congress will not take responsibility for limiting the executive branch authority to design and publish “implementing regulations”.
Unless you are, or once were, a federal employee you cannot fully grasp the sense of superiority and entitlement over the public a large segment of the federal bureaucracy possesses.
I left the AF at the time PC was becoming de rigueur. The politicization of the senior officer corps was no longer a guess. Have horror stories for anyone interested, but I digress.
The non-combat elements were being overlooked for promotion in favor of those officers with multiple degrees, and zero combat experience. The “planners” (program office types) were receiving the bulk of promotions “in the zone” and “below the zone”. The “operators” (combat missions) were considered the blessed recipients of the enlightened academic types (i.e. doesn’t take much brain power to pull the trigger).
In the years since my (I’m sure) most welcomed departure, the horror stories continued. There are officers walking around who would have been drummed out of service in the days before my commissioning. The theory seemed to be, wars only come around now and then, careers are to be made “playing” the promotion game.
(Note: there was a high level AF general in charge of combat forces in Desert Storm (a former combat pilot himself) who did not know the difference between “strategic” and “tactical” targets (the general thought “strategic” was associated solely with nuclear weapons, and said so in public).
Do not take senior military officers seriouly on any subject outside their education.
Ever.
I will happily trade Bibles for unwanted firearms. We will use the proceeds to send our deacons to additional security training, fix some security issues with our facility and teach interested people about the safe use of firearms.
I grew up in Chicago when the city had 1 million more residents. Chicago has lost more resident than Detroit had at its peek population. The smart sophisticated illegal immigrant loving progressive protesters depopulated the City
Every single person that reads this as well as watch things like The Military Arms Channel ,and other Gun related channels, Needs to Immediately write the ATF with a reasoned and well informed letter..
