Ader Development Center

The Henry Supreme was just named 2025 Guns & Ammo Rifle of the Year.
Designed by ADC founder Geoff Ader during his time at Henry Repeating Arms, the rifle has lived up to everything he hoped it could be.
Its rotating-bolt, free-floated architecture gives it bolt-action precision inside a classic lever-action form — a complete re-engineering of the platform reflected in eight published patents.
After Geoff’s tenure, Henry’s engineering team put the finishing touches on the design and brought it to market, where it’s now earning the recognition it deserves.
Congratulations to Henry Repeating Arms on this milestone — and to everyone who believes innovation and tradition can coexist.

Our first SHOT Show as Ader Development Center was a success! We connected with current clients and sparked exciting conversations with future ones.

A highlight was the buzz around our pistol brace design at the Bond Arms booth. A video by Guns.com about the design gained an incredible 4.3 million views in just two days!

We typically work discreetly behind the scenes, prioritizing our clients’ privacy, but this project was a unique situation— where we were the co-inventors. We partnered with another engineer to develop and patent this design, and Bond Arms graciously showcased it on their product.

As co-owners of the IP, we look forward to exploring opportunities to sell or license this innovative concept.

This short, but exciting project could be a game-changer in the industry. We love bringing bold ideas to life and seeing them recognized as first-in-class.
