Here's a few tidbits from the Rock Island Arsenal Museum. First off is our 1890 Model cannon. In pristine condition. This was one of the Army's first breech loading Cannons. Next up are a few of our pistols. About a quarter of our pistols are shown in this pic.
In the middle of the third pic is a Standard Vietnam era M-16A1. Unissued and unfired. It's brand new. The fourth pic is a Chinese type 56 AK in the same condition as the 16.
Pic # five is a general officer's grade pistol. The signage is self explanatory. Finally, the last pic is what the Museum floor looked like in 1904. The receiver and breech bolts for the 1903s were machined and finished in the actual room that is now the museum!!
