Gentlemen,  If you ever wondered where the earned revenue from the Kentucky Rifle Foundation product offerings go you have a good opportunity to inspect the gun cases designed, built and owned by the Foundation used in this display.

Since the KRF is a volunteer operation all revenues earned are turned back into projects designed to educate the general public about the importance of the American 'Kentucky Rifle' in the development of our country. When you buy a KRF educational book or CD the realized profit drops to the bottom line and supports the Foundation's efforts of 'Preserving the Heritage of the Kentucky Rifle'.

The KRF/NRA-NFM display currently open to the public is the third in a series of major museum displays. There are several more in the works. Stay tuned. Regards, HIB

     A quality display that is well illuminated and tastefully done.  Thank you and the volunteers of the foundation for your hard work and vision.

The KRF puts out some really nice items.  When I visited Ron (Lucky R A) in his shop last month, he put me on to a book they offer, Dave Hansen's An Intimate Look at The American Longrifle It's Art and Evolution.  I ordered one when I got back home in Florida and it's some of the best money I've spent in a long time.  I've already used one of the outstanding digital photos in it to make a copy of a Verner sideplate.  I see myself getting some more of the KRF's excellent offerings very soon.

Looks like Celeste and I could plan on coming through there on the way back from the KRA. We are going by the Reading display and were planning to pass through Charleston so I think I could add that as a stop in the trip plan. Darn just another place I have to stop to look at some really great long rifles, man life is tuff!

The National Firearms Museum (located in the NRA Headquarters building) is located at the intersection of Rt 66 and Rt 50, about 4 miles from the Washington Beltway. It's well worth the visit Bama.
