Henry Repeating Arms Launches HUSH Series Optimized for Suppressor Use

RICE LAKE, Wis., April 25, 2025 — Henry Repeating Arms, one of America’s leading firearms manufacturers and the world leader in lever-action rifle production, is proud to introduce the HUSH Series. The new line of suppressor-optimized lever-action rifles is the debut release from the company’s Special Products Division (SPD), a new R&D initiative focused on forward-thinking innovation. This release marks a significant expansion in Henry’s modern firearm offerings with a platform purpose-built to deliver the optimal solution for suppressed shooting and hunting without compromising weight and balance.

Lever-action rifles have long been celebrated for their inherent balance, reliability, fast follow-up shots, and more recently, their innate suppressibility due to a closed action. The HUSH Series builds on those strengths by dramatically reducing the weight forward of the receiver, ensuring the rifle’s natural point of balance is preserved even with a suppressor mounted. These refinements define Henry’s Ultimate Suppressor Host (HUSH)—offering a quieter, smarter, and more capable solution for modern hunters and shooting enthusiasts.

“Suppressor use is growing rapidly, and for good reason,” said Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “It protects hearing, minimizes recoil, reduces game spooking, and improves the overall experience when out at the range. With the SPD’s HUSH Series, we deliver the best possible platform for running suppressed without compromise.

Key features across the series include:

• Match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel encased in a tension-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve, manufactured in partnership with BSF Barrels of Delavan, Wisconsin
•  Lightweight, skeletonized aluminum forearm featuring M-LOK^® accessory slots, designed in collaboration with TAPCO, The American Parts Company
• A checkered, lightweight, matte dark gray American hardwood laminate stock with a rubber recoil pad.
• Receiver-mounted forged carbon fiber Picatinny rail for optics mounting
• Threaded muzzle for suppressor use
• Matte-finished magazine tube, lever, and trigger components for a refined aesthetic

“With the HUSH Series, our engineering team started with a clean slate and a clear objective: design the ideal suppressor host from the ground up,” said Nick Chappell, Vice President of Engineering at Henry Repeating Arms. “Every design decision, from the carbon fiber tension-wrapped barrel to the aluminum forearm and forged carbon optics rail, was made to reduce weight, enhance balance, and maximize performance. This is the most technically advanced lever-action ever produced, and we’re just getting started.”

The HUSH Series is now shipping to Henry’s distribution network and will be available at Henry Dealers nationwide in five popular calibers: .45 Colt, .357 Magnum/. 38 Special, .44 Magnum/. 44 Special, .30-30 Win, and .45-70 Gov’t. The MSRP for each model is $1,999.

Each rifle is proudly built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
