Springfield Armory and others

Drove past New York City today.  You can see the Empire State Building in the distance

 Freedom tower in the distance
 Drove over some cool bridges today too
 This is what is left of the Winchester Firearm plant.  It will soon be apartments
 Mossberg Manufacturing
 Smith and Wesson.  Unfortunately their museum is closed.
 Springfield Armory.  Most of the old plant is now a college campus.
 Cool old doors in the old loading dock
 Stairs up to the clock tower




 Gun with multiple barrels.

 Cube of flintlocks!


 WWI Trench guns made to shoot over the wall of the trench without exposing yourself
 1911 prototype
 Top rifle was hit by lightning.  No report of what happened to the guy holding it.  The rifles below it were hit by other projectiles
 Original copy machine to make copies of a rifle stock.  Before that it was hand done.
 2nd generation of the copy machine for stocks
 Some of the buildings around the Armory
