TR's F grade

Perhaps this is old news but I just read that Theo. Roosevelt's famous F Grade Fox is now on display at the Cody Firearms Museum along with TR's Winchester Model 1895. nice. Glad that I got to handle it when I did.

Glad to hear it, Tom. I like it when "famous" guns like these end up in museums where all can enjoy seeing them.

I know exactly how you feel about being able to handle it. The hour and a half I spent with Bo Whoop in Savannah, before it was sent to Julia's, was an experience I will never forget. I often wonder why I was enabled to do so. I don't believe in luck . I will always be grateful for the opportunity.
