Henry Rifle Forums

I’m curious, which models does Henry make in Wisconsin?

Not real sure, however, my SGC is stamped Bayonne, NJ and my BBS 357 came from Rice Lake, WI.
Based on that...maybe rim fires are made in NJ and center fires are made in WI. Don't know if that applies to all calibers and models though...just my 2 cents.

As I understand it, currently all centerfire rifles (and the shotguns) are made in Rice Lake, as well as some of the parts for the rimfire line. Apparently the Rice Lake facility was making parts for Henry prior to their acquiring that plant, which Henry did when the previous company moved its other operations off shore. There were some centerfires made in Bayonne prior to that, though; I happen to have a Bayonne made 30-30, with the standard ghost ring peep of that model.

It seems like you never hear about problems with the NJ guns?

FWIW, recently got my SGC back from there for warranty work.

There is an older brief topic somewhere on this here. I remember that the brass centerfire are made in NJ. I don't remember what else. My Long Ranger was made in Rice Lake.

Just looked: BBS .45 Colt made in Rice Lake, .357 BBB, made in Bayonne,NJ.

Fortunately, given the great CS and warranty from Henry, I really don't care where which is made. Just keep making them period.

I have a 22, and a 44 BBB that were both made in Brooklyn NY, and my 41 BBS was made in Rice lake.
Not sure when the 22 was made, but 44 made Oct. of '07.

History
"The physical plant in Rice Lake... had produced parts for Henry Repeating Arms ( HRA ) that were then shipped to the parent operation in New Jersey. When the Rice Lake (a non-gun) factory went in other directions of manufacturing, Henry Repeating Arms in 2007 acquired the plant to continue producing the needed parts. This eventually morphed into greater parts production, leading in 2014 to the manufacturing of completed rifles at Henry Wisconsin." https://www.ammoland.com/2015/12/henry- ... z3vrkbALBA

After checking, I seem to have rifles made at all three locations.

My H001 (.22 Classic), H004 (.22 Golden Boy), and H001TM (.22 mag Frontier) were all made at Brooklyn, NY

My H006 (.44 Big Boy Brass) was made at Bayonne, NJ

My H012M (.357 BBS) and H010 (.45-70 BBS) were made in Rice Lake, WI

The only rifle I had problems with was the .45-70 (mag tube problem on early models). Henry upgraded mine with the new design mag tube and I have had no more problems.

I wasn't aware of the existence of the Brooklyn plant, has it since closed and moved everything to Bayonne? What years was Brooklyn in production? ANybody know?

Evan, I think that was their original assembly plant, not sure what happened to it.
Like I posted earlier in the tread, my H001 and 44 Mag BBB were produced there.
I was told by HRA that my 44 was made on Oct. of '07.

There are some brief comments about the Brooklyn location in this Imperato interview:

my BBS 30/30 was born in NJ and my BBS, 41mag in Rice Lake. I can;t remember where my 22 was born. All 3 are just about perfect.

Imperato: "We moved to Bayonne in October 2008. We resurrected the Henry name in 1996. We were previously in Brooklyn,NY and we outgrew that space. We couldn’t find what we needed in Brooklyn, or the city, so we looked in NJ..."

I remember reading that the employees of the Brooklyn plant would get there breakfast cooked for them everyday at that plant. Dont hear of anything like that anymore.
