Ridiculous ad for rifle in Baton Rouge Advocate

[killdee]

Did anyone notice the insert in the Saturday (9/8/12) Advocate for the "Baton Rouge Heritage Rifle" from American Legacy Firearms.

Here's the ad:

This "Baton Rouge Rifle" is engraved with the "U.S.S. Kid", when the ship is actually the U.S.S. Kidd.

It is also engraved with picture and a caption that reads" Sen. Huey "Kingfisher" Long". Kingfisher?????

Another engraving is a picture and the words, "Home of Confederate Memorial Hall", and that museum is actually located in New Orleans, not Baton Rouge.

Those engravings are on the receiver. The stock is engraved with "Home of Mardi Gras Country" and a collection of mardi gras masks. I'm not sure what mardi gras "country" is, but I don't BR is the home of it.

What is wrong with this company? Did they even look up Baton Rouge on wikipedia before they designed this rifle?

But its a fully functional 30-30 Mossberg

That and the historic engraving must mean it's way out of my price range anyway. I actually looked at their website and they have dozens of similar offerings. I wonder how many errors are on the other ones?

"French fitted rifle case" Does that mean it gives up pretty easy??

Nope, it means it's hairy and smelly.

For those who didn't receive or notice the ad, here's the back of the ad with more information about this fine collector's piece. Notice that "the American Birch stock sports a high gloss finish, which enhances each intricately engraved detail".

If anyone wants a REALLY funny and inexpensive rifle, if they made many I predict they will end up at CDNN...

I can see the ad copy now..."Rare" and "We bought them ALL!"

DUH - thay is $200 down and $100 a month. Just keep sending the $100 per month 'till they tell you to stop and that's the price.

Chad, I thought you only bought guns that went up in price.. You are making a BIG mistake.. lol

Has anyone noticed the wild and crazy thing's Mossberg has been building in the last year or so...
Must be good tote...lol

 

[CEHollier]

Their fact checker screwed that one up big time. Even if someone is a collector who would want a "rare" rifle with those mistakes?

It has Huey Long on it, and is 24 kt gold, looks like a win win to me!

I saw in the issue of "First Freedom" they were talking about that company and their NRA 1911 and state rifles. Assuming the prices are comparable the price for the rifle in a "French fitted case" is two grand. That was for a Mossberg 4x4 rifle so however this one compares I don't know. Presumably they don't have to kick back any money to Baton Rouge like they do to the NRA on these.

That's because it's on Camp Street in New Orleans, near the D-Day Museum.
