Did Lincoln own any weapons?

RE: Did Lincoln own any weapons?
I came across this recent article about a rifle supposedly owned by Abraham Lincoln:

https://www.elkvalleytimes.com/news/rifl...88e96.html

The inscription on its stock, “Abe Lincoln, 1864”, makes me think it wasn't written by Lincoln. The description of the rifle's history given in the article makes me think it was presented as a gift to a supporter of Lincoln's 1864 reelection campaign, instead of actually being owned by him. Does anybody have any more information or different opinions on the history of this rifle?
