So the Ill melting point law states that it can't have a meeting point of less then 800⁰ this pistol is made of Steel with a case hardened finish, which i couldn't find the melting point for. But the Ill specifically lists heritage arms as not compliant. So no unfortunately it is not legal in Illinois "Prohibited: Any handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver that has a die casting of zinc alloy or any other nonhomogenous metal, which will melt or deform at a temperature of 800 degrees F or less. ●Prohibited: Cobra, Phoenix Arms, Heritage Arms, Walther rimfire pistols, GSG rimfire pistols, Hi-Point pistols and Jimenez Arms."
James, no Sir, it has an Alloy Frame (Simulated Case Hardened) and will not pass muster in IL. Only the Steel Framed models will pass in IL : https://heritagemfg.com/small-bore/6-shot-rough-rider/82-4-75-rough-rider-22-lr-22-wmr-steel-frame-black-satin-camo-laminate
