The Kentucky Rifle Foundation has arranged for twenty original 'Kentuckies' to be on display for one year at the NRA National Firearms Museum, Fairfax, Va.  The KRF display opens May 15th of this year.

These 20 examples of Early American Functional Art have been gathered together from the best collections in the country by KRF president Mac Spencer and KRF board members Frank Kobilis, Tim Hodges and Steve Hench.

I believe those visiting the NRA's museum will be rewarded with an exceptional display of rifles from across all regions. It will consist of : the earliest known J.P. Beck along with important rifles by Graeff, Dickert, Haga, Eyster, Armstrong, Schroyer, Lauck, the PA rifle, J. Wilson, Frazier, Christian Huffman, Wiley Higgins's “Gamecock” rifle, Clark, and Kettering and Barnhart. Their is always the added benefit of seeing the rest of the NRA museum as well.

For those who haven't visited this museum before, it's got something for everybody. They have a very nice collection of Kentucky Rifles and fowlers. They also have guns from movies, an original shooting gallery from around 1900 as well as several of Teddy Roosevelt's personal guns. Our display is just the icing on the cake.

Gentlemen and Ladies,  The Kentucky Rifle Foundation has gathered a number of the greatest examples of the American Longrifle for this display. It is the hope of every KRF board member that you set aside the dates and plan to attend the display if you live or travel to the DC area this summer. I think Fairfax Va. is still considered a suburb of the Washington area, however. they may have changed their mind recently.

Regardless, The NRA FIREARMS MUSEUM and the Kentucky Rifle Foundation display is worthy of your visit and appreciation.  Regards, HIB
