Presidential Firearms At The Cody Firearms Museum
Ashley Hlebinsky, the Robert W. Woodruff Curator at the Cody Firearms Museum, presents some of the firearms owned and presented to US presidents in this video from the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
There are a number of Winchester lever actions in the collection including an 1866 presented to LBJ, an 1894 presented to Ike, and a Model 64 presented to Ronald Reagan. There is also an engraved Winchester Model 70, serial number 500,000, that was made for John F. Kennedy. As Ms. Hlebinsky points out, JFK was a Life Member of the NRA and enjoyed shooting.

That is a great museum! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice idea actually, if the cases of gun killing remain to increase like this then they will remain in museum only since, no one is going to remain alive to use them as a safety device, that is actually a big issue that is to be dealt soon.
