C-Span To Feature The NRA's National Firearms Museum On Sunday

C-Span will be running a two-part special on the NRA's National Firearms Museum as part of their American Artifacts series.

From the NRA Blog:

C-SPAN3 is airing an inside look of the NRA National Firearms Museum this Sunday, March 9, at 6:00pm. Part of the American Artifacts series, this two-part tour starts with the Robert Petersen Gallery and runs through the entire museum collection.

"It's a pleasure to welcome the cameras of C-SPAN to the National Firearms Museum," said NRA Museums Director Jim Supica. "Sharing our exhibits with the general public is part of our mission and C-SPAN is a great venue for just that."

American Artifacts airs on Sunday evenings at 6pm and 10pm with a live stream available at http://www.c-span.org/History/

The show is available online on the Monday following the broadcast. Either way you watch it, this sounds like a worthwhile show.

A teaser of what will be shown is below.

Gettysburg 150: AR-15 v. Henry Rifle

Rob Curtis, editor of the MilitaryTime Gearscout blog, discusses the differences and similarities between Civil War era weapons and modern weapons with Phil Schreirer of the NRA National Firearms Museum. The two firearms compared are the AR-15 and the Henry Rifle. It makes for an interesting comparison.
