Sixty seconds in the National Firearms Museum

Have you been to the National Firearms Museum?

The gun that carried a tune: A prototype Winchester Model 70, with an AM transistor radio built in.Our friends over at NRA Hunters Rights have a video posted from Senior Curator Doug Wicklund. Mr. Wicklund describes one of the museum's most unusual guns, a Winchester Model 70 -- with a transistor radio built into the stock.

Doug was recently part of a special on the History Channel called Extreme Marksman. He talked about well-known figures in exhibition shooting. I pulled this from the History Channel's website:

What these EXTREME MARKSMEN can do with a gun (or bow) is simply stunning. In this amazing sequel to the hugely popular Sharp Shooters program, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® has brought together some of the most accomplished shooters in the world to demonstrate their awesome talents.

It was a very cool program.
