Description
Henry has been building tribute rifles in the spirit of the ornately engraved Henrys presented to Civil War veterans, and the Military Service Tribute 2nd Edition might be the most meaningful of the bunch. The right side of the polished nickel receiver cover carries a bald eagle wrapped around a shield reading IN RECOGNITION OF MILITARY SERVICE TO OUR GREAT COUNTRY, while the left side features the Statue of Liberty beside the Liberty Bell. Every image and the laurel leaf borders around them are selectively plated in 24K gold, and SALUTING OUR MILITARY HEROES is cut into both sides between the panels. Flip the rifle over to the right side of the American walnut buttstock and you'll find a full color, laser etched and hand painted Stars and Stripes with GOD BLESS AMERICA above it. It makes a fitting gift for a returning service member, a new graduate fresh out of Basic, or a veteran in the family who deserves a thank you that lasts.
More Than a Wall Hanger
Underneath the artwork sits a genuine Golden Boy, and that matters. The 20 inch blued octagon barrel, brass bead front sight, and fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with reversible white diamond insert are the same setup that has made this platform a favorite for decades. The tubular magazine holds 16 rounds of .22 LR or 21 rounds of .22 Short, and the action cycles Shorts, Longs, and Long Rifle without complaint. The traditional half-cock hammer notch keeps things simple and familiar. At 6.75 pounds with a 38.5 inch overall length, it balances nicely and swings like a rifle should, so plinking sessions and small game hunts are very much on the table if you choose to shoot it.
Golden Boy Military Service Tribute Details Worth Noting
Like every Henry, this one is made in the USA and backed by the company's well earned reputation for standing behind their rifles. Whether it ends up above the mantle, in the safe as a family heirloom, or at the range on weekends, this is a rifle built to carry a story for generations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Henry Military Service Tribute 2nd Edition safe to shoot, or is it display only?
It's a fully functional Golden Boy, so it shoots as well as it looks. The 20 inch octagon barrel, adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, and smooth lever action make it a genuinely fun rimfire at the range. That said, many owners keep them unfired to preserve collector value, so it comes down to what you want out of it.
What ammunition does the Golden Boy Military Service Tribute accept?
The tubular magazine feeds .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably. Capacity is 16 rounds of .22 LR or up to 21 rounds of .22 Short. That flexibility is one of the classic perks of a tube fed lever action rimfire.
How is this different from the standard Henry Golden Boy?
Mechanically they're the same rifle. The Tribute 2nd Edition swaps the standard Brasslite receiver for a polished nickel cover with engraved scrollwork, a bald eagle and shield, the Statue of Liberty, and the Liberty Bell, all selectively plated in 24K gold. The walnut stock also gets a laser etched, hand painted American flag with GOD BLESS AMERICA on the right side.
Does the Henry Military Service Tribute make a good gift for a veteran?
That's exactly what it was built for. Henry designed this edition in the tradition of engraved rifles presented to veterans going back to the Civil War, and it's a popular choice for retirements, homecomings, and thank you gifts. It's an American made heirloom that can be passed down for generations.
