Curator's Corner: Theodore Roosevelt's 1894 Winchester Lever-Action Rifle

[@SwampFoxOutdoors]

It makes me extra proud to be a American when I hear that President Roosevelt used a suppressed lever action rifle to dispatch varmints.

I gotta wonder how cool it would've been to have had a chance to go hunting with Teddy Roosevelt. Yeah, that's why I need a time machine... LOL! Having watched a number of videos about TR, Patton, and others from the good ol days, I guess custom guns were more the norm, especially if you were from the high end part of town. Both Colt and Winchester turned out some incredible pieces back then.

Teddy Roosevelt was a man I’d of loved to have met.

[@montanamountainmen6104]

I as well. He must have been larger than life.

[@WeaponsEducation]

Thank you for these videos

"not fancy" shit that was a beautiful piece and i like to see them say that about those plastic versions bc i would never trade my remington 700 30-06 walnut stock for a mattel toy gun

[@Dave-fb9mo]

That's freaking awesome!

He points out that the barrel is threaded and the silencer just screws on.

[@GeneralLee1961.3]

Roosevelt was a wise man

[@Machineguntom3]

Interupted threads. Take a standard thread pattern they mill clearances on either side of them, your suppressor will slip on and tighten with only a half turn.

[@nobeefstew4u]

Thats awesome. Could you guys make some more videos on guns from world war two? Thanks!

[@SFsc616171]

Once again, another item from what an American President SHOULD look like, to the rest of the world!

[@jbmortensen]

How is that silencer attached to the barrel?

[@charliedicanio9006]

jbmortensen the barrel is threaded which allows the silencer to screw on
