Mechanics: The action functions correctly however, the bolt is tight which makes the lever difficult to articulate when the hammer is down. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.

Our Assessment: The Abraham Lincoln Limited Edition Henry Repeating Rifle by The American Historical Foundation is a beautiful replica of the Henry 1860 made by Uberti. Fully functional and chambered in .44-40 Winchester, this rifle is a reminder of one of the few presentation-grade Henry's ever made that was presented to Abraham Lincoln, which is now a priceless part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.. The American Historical Foundation commissioned a total of 250 all with the prefix "AL" for Abraham Lincoln. With so few available, this is a rare opportunity for your collection. Don't let it get away!
