Published 11:03 p.m. UTC Nov 19, 2016 Rice Lake – As more than 600,000 hunters strolled into the woods for the opener of the annual gun-deer season this weekend in Wisconsin, quite a few have rifles made in Wisconsin slung over their shoulders. Henry Repeating Arms manufactures several of its most popular lever action rifle models at a Rice Lake factory that initially created parts for rifles until the original factory closed in 2006.

Henry Repeating Arms is a firearms manufacturing company. As of 2013, Henry Repeating Arms ranked in the top 5 of all long gun manufacturers, and 7th overall in total firearms production, manufacturing over 300,000 firearms annually.

Henry Repeating Arms president Anthony Imperato was persuaded to purchase the 138,000 square foot building and machinery when Wright Products shut down in Rice Lake and moved its storm door parts business overseas. For Imperato, whose headquarters is based in Bayonne, N.J., it was a stressful time. The workers at Wright Products had made receivers — the metal rifle action — for Henry rifles for several years that were shipped to the factory in New Jersey. “I said, ‘OK, you can’t make my parts in China. You can’t leave me in a lurch,” Imperato said in a phone interview.
