rodent.22 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Me & the bride stayed in Lexington, Va this weekend for our 40th anniversary. I saw a sign at the visitors center about the VMI Museum firearms display, donated by an alumni of the school. It is one of the largest collections of cased Patterson Colts in the country. Numerous cased Revolving rifles are also in the collection. This is WORTH seeing if you are within travelling distance. SORRY cell phone pictures.....

asmurff Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Now all we need is for more training for my wife in DC, I'd drive that far to look a VMI and their collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 yeah Smurff it's an hour and a half south of D.C. on I-81 in Lexington, Va. Well between the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody, Wy and this VMI museum, the NRA museum near D.C. is next. I've seen so many great and unique firearms in the last year my head is still spinning....LOL :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longitude Zero Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Excellent museum. If you are ever out here in the Sooner Nation (OK) make a trip to the largest private firearms museum in the world in Claremore OK. The J.M. Davis Museum.
