New Original Henry Rifle Kicks Off Cody Firearms Museum Collectors Series

Henry Repeating Arms, in partnership with Baron Engraving and Davidson’s Inc., just launched one seriously awesome series of rifles. The Cody Firearms Museum Collectors Series brings a one-of-a-kind, New Original Henry Rifle to market. The guns harken back to a bygone era of gunmaking.

New Original Henry Rifle

Inspired by 19th century master firearms engraver Louis D. Nimschke, the Cody guns feature ornate engraving and custom design. Borrowing from Nimschke’s style, Baron Engraving’s master hand engraver Robert Bunting adorns the brass receiver with Nimschke’s signature American scrollwork. It blends with fine European detailing. Additionally, the brass receiver comes brilliantly polished and silver-plated.

It comes with nitre-blued screws and an exhibition-grade American walnut stock. The stock comes capped with a hand-engraved, silver-plated crescent buttplate. True to the 1860 patent, the New Original Henry Rifle features a blued, one-piece octagonal barrel and magazine. A classic folding ladder rear sight and blade front sight complete the timeless package. The rifle chambers .44-50 WCF, with a 13-round capacity.

Henry’s support of the Cody Firearms Museum proves lasting. The remarkable center, located at The Buffalo Bill Center of the West, resides 50 miles from Yellowstone National Park. It provides arguably the most impressive collection of guns found anywhere. The collection includes more than 4,000 guns and 10,000 artifacts. The Cody Firearms Museum Collectors Series offers the opportunity to purchase limited-edition firearms inspired by the most prices pieces in the museum.
