We had the opportunity to meet Doug Wicklund, Senior Curator of the NRA National Firearms Museum at the NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.)
Doug showed us the Firearms Library, the Conservation Lab and the Firearms Archives. Thanks to Doug and the NRA for this opportunity to share this ‘behind the scenes’ look at the NRA Museum’s Firearms Collection
