Description
The Marine Corps turned 250 in 2025, and Henry marked the milestone the way they know best: with a lever gun dressed for the occasion. The Spirit of the Corps 250th Anniversary 2nd Edition follows the original tribute rifle, which sold out quickly enough that Henry brought the series back with fresh artwork for everyone who missed the first run.
What Sets This Spirit of the Corps Edition Apart
The engraving work is the star of the show. Patterns are mechanically transferred from a hand-engraved master plate, so every rifle carries crisp, consistent detail, then finished with 24K gold-plated highlights that pop against the polished nickel receiver cover. The American walnut buttstock wears full-color portraits of Marines from different eras standing before the flag, while the engraved forearm carries the banner In the Air, On Land, And Sea. A nickel-plated brass buttplate and barrel band tie everything together against the deep blued 20 inch octagon barrel.
Still a Golden Boy Where It Counts
Underneath the commemorative dress, this is the same Golden Boy that has taught countless folks how to run a lever. The tubular magazine holds 16 rounds of .22 LR, and since it is chambered for .22 S/L/LR, it will happily feed Shorts and Longs too. The action cycles with that smooth, no-drama feel Henry is known for, and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight pairs with a brass bead front for proper old-school aiming. At 6.75 pounds it settles in nicely offhand, so accurate plinking and small game duty are well within its comfort zone.
Whether it ends up behind glass, over the mantle, or putting rounds downrange on the weekend, this is a tribute piece that does not have to sit still to be appreciated. Made in America, fittingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this 2nd Edition different from the original Spirit of the Corps rifle?
The first Spirit of the Corps tribute sold out and was discontinued, so Henry released this 2nd Edition with new artwork. The buttstock features full-color portraits of Marines from different eras in front of the American flag, while the forearm carries the In the Air, On Land, And Sea banner. It is a separate model number, H004MC2, with its own distinct engraving package.
Can the Spirit of the Corps Golden Boy shoot .22 Short and .22 Long?
Yes, it is chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle interchangeably through the same tube magazine. You get 16 rounds with .22 LR and even more when loading Shorts. That makes it a great quiet backyard plinker with standard velocity or short ammo.
Is this rifle just a collector's piece, or is it meant to be shot?
Both, really. Under the gold and nickel it is a standard Golden Boy, which is one of the smoothest and most popular rimfire lever actions out there. Plenty of buyers keep them displayed, but it will handle range days, plinking, and small game with no trouble at all.
Can I mount a scope on the Henry Golden Boy Spirit of the Corps?
Yes. The Golden Boy receiver accepts Henry's cantilever scope mount, so you can add glass without permanently altering the rifle. That said, most owners stick with the factory semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front to keep the classic look intact on a tribute edition like this.
