Illinois 200th Anniversary Rifle

[PapaG]

A company called American Legacy Firearms has introduced a limited run of gold plated, engraved, embellished Henry 30-30s to commemorate the 200th year of Illinois statehood. I was looking at it and question some of the embellishments, one of which makes no sense at all. "Mason-Dixon Line". The MD line didn't touch Illinois. Al Capone, prohibition, and Mormon settlers are also featured. I would rather have seen things like Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Chicago, city of big shoulders, Illinois-Michigan Canal (which built Chicago), Carl Sandberg. I guess you have to take the negative along with the positives.
Oh well, it is kind of pretty. Wonder what the cost will be. Only 200 made. "$200 down to start".
Wish I was rich enough to buy one and take it hog hunting.

Are repeating rifles even legal in IL?

I would like to see one.

I'm sorry, but Henry is a bit retarded when it comes to "Americana." They try a little too hard IMO.

OP said it was another company doing these, not Henry itself.

I have a policy about commemoratives, none thank you.

A lot of the Winchester commemoratives booked out for years at less than a plain version of the same model.

I always wanted a 1911 with John Wayne on it.

Saw the pic of the Henry in the electric coop's magazine, "Illinois Country Living".

I would like to see one.

You might be able to go to "AmericanLegacyFirearms.com". I saw the picture in the "Illinois Country Living" magazine this month.

Lucky for you I have a picture! Illinois did force Henry to label it with the Jolly Roger (for safety’s sake).

I have only had one and that was a Buffalo Bill which I got at a garage sale as a shooter. Don't want any more.

Only in Chicago where they are used so much that the streets have to be swept free of fired cases each day so cars can drive on them. Once, they even had to delay the days shootings til the streets were cleaned.

Should be painted black. Hope it’s not high capacity

In any event, you’ll still shoot yer eye out!

This is my view of Illinois today.

I looked at several others on there website and they all look like a weird conglomeration of wikipedia facts to put on a rifle.

Oh and $2500 for a henry with Al Capone's ugly mug on the side is just bonkers.
