    NRA National Firearm Museum

    I'm glad you enjoyed it Hokie, and delighted you're coming back. fpgt, we agree with you that the info delivery system in the Museum is not what it should be. One of our big projects right now is to replace the electronic kiosk system with old fashioned physical signs and labels, so you know...

    NRA National Firearms Museum

    Thanks to all for the kind comments! And JColdIron, I'm painfully aware that signage is not up to snuff in much of the Museum. Correcting that, along with freshening the exhibits, is at the top of our TO DO list for the next year or so. We were tied up for the last couple years designing...

    NRA Guns & Gold season 2 debuts tonight

    9 pm Eastern on Sportsman Channel. Phil Schreier and I get to take a look at some great old guns that folks bring in to the Tulsa Show and the NRA Annual Meeting, tell a little bit about them, and guesstimate their values. If that might be your cup of tea, please take a look! Jim Supica

    New National Firearms Museum website

    Thanks Prof, that type of detailed feedback is really helpful. I have to say that my initial response to the proposal for the website layout was very similar to yours, but as this has developed I've come to love it, primarily because this redesign will eventually allow us to get substantial...

    NRA Annual Meeting, Phoenix, this weekend

    Not official, here's my best understanding: The meeting and exhibit hall are free to NRA members. I'm pretty sure you can join or have your membership verified at the door if you don't have your card with you. I *THINK* non-members may be able to get in for a charge ($10?), but don't hold...

    I'd encourage any THR members who can possibly make it to come to the NRA Annual Meeting in Phoenix this weekend. If you've never been, the display hall is like being at the SHOT Show, except you don't have to be dealer to get in. All the major firearms manufacturers will have hands-on...
