I'm about an hour and a half away John, but it you give me advanced notice, I'll drive up just for you!   Actually they will have a Kiosk dedicated to our display that should answer most questions.  Hope you come back East to see it.

Took in the KRA display at the NRA Museum & Headquarters today.  Very nice display indeed.  As a matter of fact, I found all the NRA exhibits nicely done.  Anyone planning to be in the Washington, D.C. area should plan to see this exhibit before it's over on May 15th.  Free admission.  Open daily 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM.

Thank you for the endorsement Acorn20, I'm glad you liked it.  Because of it's popularity, we're considering extending the display for another six months, if you haven't seen it yet, it's well worth the visit.

Gentlemen and ladies.  The Kentucky Rifle Foundation display at the NRA National Firearms Museum has been extended until the end of the year at the request of the Museum. If you haven't seen it yet you still have time to visit. Regards, HIB

Consider having a book published with nice pictures and descriptions to sell as a fundraiser.

Think how hard it is to find a copy of Merrill Lindsay's "The Kentucky Rifle". I prize my copy a great deal.

How many of you have had a chance to visit the display? If you have, please give us some feedback, thanks.

I drove up to see the display a couple of months ago. Two of my friends went with me. All of us were very pleased with the display.

Neither of my two friends had seen nice antique muzzleoading rifles and both were very impressed with the appearance and workmanship of these early American rifles.

During my last trip out east I visited the museum. The Rifle display was excellent. They were prominently displayed in a place of honor. Made me drool! Kudos to all the members who lent their rifles for that display.
But I must say I was disappointed in the overall collection. The colonial gun section was fair at best with very few examples of the guns that actually started this country. They has more Gatling guns than Rev War American made guns. As I was leaving, one of the gentlemen there asked me how I liked it. So, I told him and I mentioned that I had a better collection of Rev War guns in my truck, in the parking lot, than they had on display.  He and one of the other executives came out to my truck and we had a little gun show right there in the parking lot. That was fun. They even asked me to donate some of them to the museum. Not a chance!
