I was able to visit the Cody Firearms museum about seven years ago. It's well worth visiting. I believe there are actually 2-3 other museums there as well that are also very good.

Interesting. Mother of Pearl grips on Audie Murphy's Colt. Wouldn't have thunk it.

Interesting to see checkering on the grip frame of the bisley. What are the pros and cons of that?

One thing that kind of confused me was that old 1873 Winchester that they found in the park. When the x-rayed it, there was a cartridge like she said "embedded" in the stock. What the heck did she mean by embedded?
How did it get inside the stock? Was there a hole under the butt plate? I know that some people will drill a hole in the stock there to keep a couple of emergency rounds or maybe something else.
Anyway, thanks for the videos, they were pretty cool.
