NRA Museum at Bass Pro in Missouri

Pretty cool Bass Pro Shop.  It has a NRA Museum in it with a great collection.

 Inside the store in pretty cool.
 Like the fireplace that is big enough to walk into!

 Turtles
 One of the aquariums


 Great idea for railing supports!






 Pederson Device on a 1903 Springfield.  It was a conversion kit for a 1903 to make it a semi auto rifle.  Never issued.
 I like the door handles too.
 Jesse James gun
 John Hardin's gun


 Movie guns. Rifle John Wayne used and a Marlin Brando rifle
 Steve McQueen rifle
 Clint Eastwood used this in Outlaw Jose Wales and Kim Darby used it in True Grit
 Rifles used by John Wayne
 John Wayne pistol
 Mel Gibson as Maverick used this gun.
 James Garner as Maverick's gun
 Teddy Roosevelt guns


 Quigley down under rifle.
 Hand made bow made by Geronimo
 First working compound bow made.

 Ceiling in part of the store was made to look like you were walking underwater.  Pretty cool.



 Lots of swarms of birds.
 Saw this guy fly over.  First B-2 I've seen.
