One-of-a-Kind Henry Rifle Heads to Auction for Shadow Warriors Project

Proceeds to Support Private Military Security Contractors Returning from Battle in the World’s Most Dangerous Locations

RICE LAKE, Wis. – Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearm manufacturers, is proud to announce its latest Guns For Great Causes campaign with the donation of a one-of-a-kind New Original Henry Rifle to benefit the Shadow Warriors Project, co-founded by speaker, best-selling author, and former private military security contractor, Mark “Oz” Geist. The ornately engraved firearm is currently up for auction on Gunbroker.com, with 100% of the proceeds from the winning bid going directly to funding Shadow Warrior Project’s endeavors. Early estimates suggest the auction could exceed $50,000.

Mark Geist served in the United States Marine Corps for 12 years before deciding to extend his service to the country as a special operative contractor, where he became part of an elite security team for a CIA outpost in Benghazi, Libya. This facility would become the target of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia on September 11, 2012, and Geist is credited with saving the lives of 25 Americans during the siege. The actions of Geist and the rest of his team are depicted in the New York Times best-seller, 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi, and a feature film titled “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.” Read more

Greeley, PA: The M1 Carbine has a storied legacy of service, in the hands of American soldiers who carried these rifles into harm’s way. During WWII, the M1 Carbine proved its worth on battlefields from Europe to the Pacific. Millions of light, handy M1 Carbines were used by American forces to achieve victory. For many Americans, ownership of these rifles became a family tradition, symbolizing service in the defense of liberty, and the American way of life. Auto-Ordnance is proud to continue this heritage with its line of high quality, American made, reproduction M1 Carbines. Owning one truly represents the opportunity to own a piece of American history. Auto-Ordnance collaborated with the talented team at Offensive Marketing Group (OMG), to produce our cinematic short “The M1 Carbine: A Legacy of Service”. Filmed on location in Scottsdale, and Sedona, Arizona, this video highlights the role of the M1 Carbine and its legacy of service in the hands of American soldiers. Jodi DePorter, Director of Marketing for Kahr Firearms Group, stated that “the partnership between OMG and Kahr has been enormously rewarding. This latest video about the legacy of the M1 Carbine really illustrates the pride taken by Auto-Ordnance in producing a firearm that served an essential role in preserving American freedom.”

Bentonville, AR ( HatsanUSA, the exclusive U.S. distributor of Hatsan airguns and Escort Shotguns, is proud to announce a new, more powerful version of its popular SpeedFire multi-shot break barrel air rifle to the U.S. market. The SpeedFire Magnum 1250 truly earns its magnum designation by having the power to launch .177 caliber lead pellets at 1250 FPS and .22 pellets at 1000 FPS from its 14-inch precision rifled steel barrel, yielding approximately 24 and 28 FPE, respectively. If using lead-free pellets, the SpeedFire Magnum 1250 will throw .177 calibers down range at an astonishing 1340 FPS and .22 calibers at 1250 FPS. This air rifle sets a new level for others to try and follow.

The SpeedFire line gets its name from the increased rate of fire not seen with regular break barrel air rifles. Typically, break barrels are single-shot, and the SpeedFires are fed by a rotary Rapid Performance Magazine (RPM), two of which are included with the air rifle. Once loaded with a full RPM (12 rounds in .177 and ten rounds in .22) and with the EZ Load Action System, each cocking stroke of the rifle automatically loads a pellet. This eliminates the tedious task of fiddling with individual pellets and makes follow-up shots extremely fast. A green fiber optic rear sight is also incorporated into the EZ Load Action System and is micro-adjustable for windage and elevation. A front red fiber optic sight flips down when not needed.
