Scuba Steve SigI can't wait to go there. Last time I went was about 15yrs ago. So many amazing firearms in one place. As someone commented on the YouTube video though, it's disappointing the Wall of Guns is no longer there evidently. Plus now you have to go through all the Civilian screening at the visitor center from Illinois when before you could drive in from Iowa.

It's gone, the focus is now the mission and products of RIA. The museum does have an exhibit on the RIA-developed Brenton bump, which we know as the AR case deflector.
