Title: Some museums have bad examples
Post by butlersrangers on May 18th, 2020 at 8:42pm
Looking at several museum sites today for arms connected with Theodore Roosevelt, I noticed several Krag carbines that are very poor examples.

At quick glance they appear nice, but, careful scrutiny reveals them to be outright total 'mix-masters' or at least to have incorrect rifle rear-sights.

I don't want to come across as 'bitchy' or arrogant. It would just be good to identify museum mistakes and in time, maybe through endowments and donations, improve museum collections.

I have not been to the NRA museum in Virginia. They appear to have awesome displays and it is definitely on my list to see it.

Their U.S. model 1899 carbine is a 'mix-master'. (Nice parts, but, wrong).
