Henry Repeating Arms is a firearms manufacturing company, one of the top five long gun manufacturers in the United States and the leading lever action manufacturer. == History ==
Henry Repeating Arms adopted its name from Benjamin Tyler Henry, the inventor who patented the first lever action, repeating rifle in 1860. The Henry Repeating Arms Company has no actual association with either the New Haven Arms Company, which manufactured the original Henry rifles and was later renamed the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1866, or to Benjamin Tyler Henry, its inventor. However, some critics contend that HRA's advertising and marketing is misleading and encourages many potential buyers into believing that some historical connection to B.T. Henry's original rifle exists where it clearly does not. The company does own the rights to its own, similar name, its trademark and copyrights to the name Henry. The company resurrected the Henry name in 1996〔''American Rifleman'' p. 26〕 and started manufacturing the H001, a .22 caliber, lever action rifle in Brooklyn, New York. This first rifle was essentially an American made copy of a rifle previously made in Germany by Erma, imported into the US by Ithaca and called the model 72 saddle gun. In September 2008 the company moved its headquarters to a facility in Bayonne, New Jersey and presently employs 250 people. The company also owns a facility in Rice Lake, Wisconsin which employs 175 people. It is where they cast and machine the receivers for the Henry rifles as well as supplying other gun parts.
