    Museum Receives World-Class Gun Collection

    If firearms collector Robert Petersen had donated just one of his rare guns to the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, it would probably have been a big enough event to warrant its own exhibition and publicity campaign. So the fact that the California hunter and shooting sportsmen handed more than 400 firearms for display was a major coup for the local museum affiliated with the National Rifle Association, said its director Jim Supica.

    Damn, no pictures that I could find. However, as :darthvader: once said at least once: "Impressive, most impressive".

    Oh - he was that Petersen, of Petersen Publishing. Years ago, 'Guns and Ammo' and 'Hot Rod' used to be two of my fave magazines....
