I tried to attach the PDF to the banned weapons guide for Illinois I found online. Here is the LINK to download the PDF. It has a flow chart at the bottom to walk you through the process.

@Taylor: That's a great link. Thanks. According to the flow chart, my 22 LR, Remington 597 is now an assault rifle because it has a boyds, barracuda, thumbhole stock.

I grew up in the southern part of Illinois curing the 50's and 60's. It was a great place then. Now, I won't even go back to visit.

The Izhmash Saiga AK-47 Sporter looks like it would pass the flowchart test. Its a semi-auto 7.62x39 with a 10 round magazine and won't take regular AK-47 magazines. The Sporter version of the original AK-47 rifle is marketed for hunting and civilian use. No pistol grip, no protruding grip on the stock, no flash suppressor, no muzzle brake, no barrel shroud.

How about a bolt action that takes AR (5.56 or 7.62) magazines. Like a Ruger American Predator.

Mini-14 is the go to recommendation for a gun with all the capabilities of an Ar-15 without the scariness

Kel-Tec Survival. No pistol grip, no bayonet lug, isn't named on the list I could find. Ugly as sin and I want one.

First, get the new Marlin/Ruger 44 manum/Special and be happy for it. Second, consider moving to a place you might like better. Maybe reinvent yourself in the process.

Not to rain on your parade, but keep in mind that law has a provision that allows the ISP to add firearms to the 'banned' list 'in the future' without legislative review or approval.

In other words, they can (and undoubtedly will) incrementally ban anything that comes to their attention that seems scary in any way. I would expect the usual 'work-around' guns to get whacked pretty quickly based on who's running IL right now.
