Henry Repeating Arms is giving seven Founding Fathers the Golden Boy treatment. Its new Founding Fathers Collection pairs engraved .22-caliber lever actions with premium walnut as America celebrates 250 years of independence.
The collection honors George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton. Each edition is limited to 250 individually numbered rifles.
For collectors looking to go all in, Henry is also reserving just 10 complete matched sets. Each set carries the same number across all seven rifles.
All seven editions use the Henry Golden Boy Silver platform, chambered for .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle. They feature a 20-inch polished blued octagon barrel and a nickel-plated receiver cover.
The engraving is where each founder gets his own story. Receiver artwork depicts the featured founder alongside imagery connected to his role in American history. It also includes the years 1776 and 2026, plus “America’s Founding Fathers” and “Series of Seven” markings. Select details receive 24-karat gold highlights.
Henry says the artwork comes from a hand-cut master engraving mechanically transferred to each rifle. That process is intended to preserve the original design’s detail throughout the production run.

The stock and forend use Exhibition-Grade American Walnut, which Henry describes as its finest available wood grade. Expect distinctive grain and figuring rather than seven identical-looking stocks.
“This is, without a doubt, the most ambitious tribute series we’ve ever done,” said Henry founder and CEO Anthony Imperato. “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.”
The rifles are made entirely in the United States at Henry’s Wisconsin facilities. Each bears the marking “Henry Repeating Arms, Rice Lake, WI, Made in USA.”
Henry lists individual rifles at $1,776, a fitting number for the theme. A complete matched set costs $10,150. That’s $2,282 less than buying all seven individually.
According to Henry’s announcement, the collection is available now, exclusively factory-direct through HenryUSA.com.
