Quest Related

 * The player can also sell this to Leroy Walker, who occupies Lincoln Memorial and will destroy it to erase Lincoln's legacy. Otherwise, Hannibal Hamlin will buy it (in mint condition) at the Temple of the Union for 150 caps, or 300 caps if a speech check is passed, after receiving the Head of State quest; he will enshrine it. Besides these two, the player can sell it to Abraham Washington in Rivet City. Note that the price may be a lot less than its specified value (which is dependent on condition).

Location
Lincoln's Repeater is located, in perfect condition, inside of a display case in the top floor of the Museum of American History offices. Because it takes some effort to find, below are step-by-step directions. Of course, there is a lot more loot to be had along the way, Ghouls to kill, terminals to hack, etc. This is simply concise directions to the Repeater.


 * Enter the door of the Museum, go around the desk, and into the main chamber of the Museum.
 * Turn left/west past a burning barrel to another barrel by two wooden doors.
 * Go up the stairs and through the center doors.
 * Go to the door to the Offices in the back-left corner of the room.
 * Go up more stairs to a hallway and turn left and then right.
 * Go through the room with bars on it to a large, 2-story room with a staircase.
 * Turn right and go up the stairs.
 * Turn left and go through the hole in the wall into a room.
 * Cross the room to the doorway with the clock on the wall to the right.
 * To the left, just before the door, is the display case up against the left wall.

Now back to the previously written, more verbose directions:


 * The door to the Lower Levels is located to the left of the door to Underworld in the great chamber of the Museum of American History. Fawkes can be found waiting here if the player has progressed far enough in the main quest and has not recruited him yet.


 * The player should head up the stairs to the upper level upon entering the Lower Levels. The ground floor consists only of a cafeteria. The area is inhabited by Feral Ghouls and Feral Ghoul Roamers, even Glowing Ones depending on the player's level and difficulty level. It is worth noting that there is a turret located in a room adjacent to the top of the stairs on the right that will fire upon the player almost immediately. It can be controlled using a nearby terminal. The door to the Museum of History Offices is against the back wall of the upper level, past all the shattered display cases.


 * The Museum of History Offices are also prowled by Feral Ghouls. A player can expect heavy close quarters combat and room-to-room fighting in the area. Various memorabilia relating to Abraham Lincoln can be found in this area; see the article for their exact locations. Through a lightly-locked door of steel bars, there will be an open chamber with a high ceiling: the remains of a library or archives. A ceiling-mounted turret is located in the center of this room, usually occupied by firing on the Feral Ghouls around it. The player can opt to let the turret finish its work before destroying it, but it usually takes quite a while to fell its targets (and the player won't recieve experience). Either way, the staircase in this chamber leads to an upper floor of similar layout to the area below. The Feral Ghouls up here may be wounded or dead due to the turret's attacks, which makes this floor easier to secure. The office in the center of this floor contains the display case that houses Lincoln's Repeater. It is surrounded by Feral Ghouls, so one can expect a fight. The chance to encounter a Glowing One is high, but if the player has already encountered a few on the Lower Levels, there usually won't be another here. Lincoln's Repeater is in the display case at the end of the central room farthest away from the staircase. There is a dead Raider by the display case, which suggests that the player was not the first one to try to retrieve the rifle.

Trivia

 * This weapon is based on the Henry Rifle, firing a .44 caliber black powder rimfire cartridge (known as a .44 Henry round), although the rifle in the game has a wooden handguard on the forend, very similar to a Winchester Model 1866, which the actual Henry 1860 did not have. Though the .44 Magnum round is very similar in dimensions to the .44 Henry, the pressure from the modern cartridge would be far too much for the firing chamber to handle, unless it were loaded with a greatly reduced propellant charge; also, the rifle's bolt and firing pin would have to be replaced to accommodate the newer centerfire round.  The specific example referenced in the game, with its engraved gold mounting and serial number 6, was given to President Lincoln by the New Haven Arms Company (the manufacturer of the Henry) in hopes that it would influence the purchase of the rifles for use in the Civil War.
