Gun collection has a new home!

Last November I posted a thread discussing this gentleman and his amazing collection. I am pleased to hear that he has found a home for his collection.

If you are ever close to South Carolina you should drop in. I have seen his personal collection in it's entirety and spent the afternoon with Mr. Beard and can assure you it is awesome.

I lived in South Carolina for several years and knew Ross Beard. He once introduced me to Carbine Williams at a gun show in Columbia back about 1962. Ross is a gentleman if I ever knew one.

That he is -- and a living, breathing history book. It's one thing to see his collection, but quite another to have Mr. Beard give the history behind each piece.

Thanks for the link. I'm about two hours from Camden, and I've never heard of this museum. I'm going to take my son tomorrow. It looks well worth taking the two hour trip to get there.

If you have the time stop in and check out the S.C. Military History Museum in Columbia. A portion of Mr. Beard's collection is housed there.

It is in fact free admission.
