GCA Convention 2000

Tour Of the Springfield Armory

This was the highlight of the convention for many.

Springfield Armory Museum was kind enough to give everyone a chance to see what was on the second floor! They had 3000 rifles to look at all in one room. 

One thing we were told:

"Rule #1...YOU COULD NOT touch ANYTHING! 

There were a few that were advised to keep their hands in their pockets!

Please note the person with one hand out of his pocket!

Those that Forgot Rule #1

Those that Forgot Rule #1 This is what happens when one falls into bad company!

Just kidding here, but you know it was tempting to touch!

Springfield Armory did handout bibs to keep all the drool from rusting some very rare and interesting pieces of history!

M1 Garand Collectors Gather

M1 Garand Collectors Gathe It was a rare treat to meet many collectors and writers all in one place. 

You should have heard the talk when each one came from downstairs after viewing that many rifles all in one place.
