If you were to purchase an engraved Big Boy, would you want a magazine's name on it? That just doesn't work for me at all.
It'd be interesting to find out how many of these are sold.

Re: I don't get this at all
It certainly wouldn't be on my shopping list, no matter how good it looks.

I agree. However if it had the company's name on it I worked for and it was given to me as a years of service or retirement award, then it would be special.

Re: I don't get this at all
Yeah, I'd buy one with the Marine Corps Emblem, State Police Logo, or something similar... even the NRA Life Member logo, but not Mad Magazine, Shooting Times, etc. But I agree, If I won a contest sponsored by one of those magazines and the prize was a Henry with their logo... I'd take it, and build a display case for it.
I'd LOVE to have a Henry with the Marine Corps Emblem and My Aircrew Wings either mounted or engraved on it.
That would look really nice in the Presentation/Display case I made to see if I could, but don't really use right now. I think the Carbine would look really nice with a Marine Corps Challenge Coin inlaid in the stock and the aircrew wings inlaid in the forearm. They would have to be done by someone who is well above MY skill level.

I've never cared for commemorative rifles.

Re: I don't get this at all
I agree with you on that one SH, in all my collection, I don't currently own one. I have had a shot or two at acquiring a few, but passed. I like to shoot what I own. Lol. Why invest in what you can't shoot. This late in life, a Henry with a challenge coin and my AC wings would be more like custom grips. I could display it, AND shoot it.

Re: I don't get this at all
That rifle is not my cup of tea. The engraving looks nice, but no need for the advertising at that price.
As far as commemorative rifles, I have a Winchester 9422 Boy Scout model I got after seeing it at one of the Jamborees. I'd probably like a Henry Eagle Scout rifle some day.

Marine that case and gun look just fine like they are as a matter of fact they look great. Just get a Marine Flag and put it in that case and you will have the best of both worlds.BrokenolMarine wrote:Yeah, I'd buy one with the Marine Corps Emblem, State Police Logo, or something similar... even the NRA Life Member logo, but not Mad Magazine, Shooting Times, etc. But I agree, If I won a contest sponsored by one of those magazines and the prize was a Henry with their logo...

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Possibly Field and Stream, but I've never even heard of that magazine.
