Henry Repeating Arms was started by Louis Imperato and his son Anthony Imperato in Brooklyn, New York in 1996. The first model produced was the Henry H001 Lever-Action . 22 and the first shipments were made in March 1997. The original corporate motto was "Made in America and Priced Right".

The Henry repeating rifle is a lever-action tubular magazine rifle famed both for its use at the Battle of the Little Bighorn and being the basis for the iconic Winchester rifle of the American Wild West. Designed by Benjamin Tyler Henry in 1860, the original Henry was a sixteen-shot .

Henry Repeating Arms employs over 600 people and operates three manufacturing facilities totaling more than 350,000 square feet. The company headquarters is in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and the other factories are in Bayonne, New Jersey, and Ladysmith, Wisconsin.

The Henry rifle was the immediate forerunner of the famous Winchester rifles. About 14,000 Henry's were made between 1860 and 1866 by the New Haven Arms Company. The Henry rifle was developed from the Volcanic firearms system and was built around the . 44 rimfire cartridge.

As the CEO and Founder of Henry Repeating Arms, Anthony Imperato leads the company's overall strategic vision with a proven track record backed by over 40 years of personal experience in the firearms industry.

The first effective breech-loading and repeating flintlock firearms were developed in the early 1600s. One early magazine repeater has been attributed to Michele Lorenzoni, a Florentine gunmaker.

The Spencer repeating rifle was adopted by the Union Army, especially by the cavalry, during the American Civil War but did not replace the standard issue muzzle-loading rifled muskets in use at the time. Among the early users was George Armstrong Custer.

15-round A lever-action repeating rifle, the Henry's 15-round magazine holds self-contained metallic cartridges. This rifle allowed a soldier to fire 15 to 30 shots per minute, while a soldier carrying a single-shot muzzle-loading rifle-musket could fire only two to three shots per minute.

Henrys are nice rifles and can be had in all sorts of crazy customizations with different engravings inlays and such. Marlins are by far the better action though. They are smoother and the microgroove rifling many came with is inherently more accurate.

Henry's Magnum version of the Mare's Leg is a Large Loop Lever Action Pistol that holds nine rounds.

Jennings Magazine Rifle: in 1847 Walter Hunt patented in Britain a repeating rifle he called "the Volitional Repeater". He would patent it again in the United States in 1849. This rifle featured a tubular magazine beneath the barrel and a lever mechanism to raise cartridges into the chamber.

The first repeaters to be built in large quantities appear to be the 1646 Danish flintlocks that used a pair of tubular magazines, and could fire 30 shots without reloading. Like a modern lever-action rifle, the next shot was made ready by a simple two-step motion of the trigger guard.

1862 Henry Invents the Repeating Rifle 44 caliber repeating rifle, which soon demonstrated just how effective such a weapon would be on the field of battle during the Civil War. The repeating rifle quickly demonstrated its superiority to the muzzle-loaded rifle when it was rolled out onto the battlefield in 1862.

Due to its heavy projectile, the range is somewhat limited, but there are few choices better for those shots at 150 yards and under (though it will reach out further), or in thick brush.
