Theodore Roosevelt's 1894 Winchester lever-action rifle is examined on this Curator's Corner with John Popp and Phil Schreier of the NRA National Firearms Museum. The rifle is part of the new exhibit on loan from the NPS Sagamore Hill Historic Site, called Theodore Roosevelt- Trappings of an Icon: The Oval Office of the Summer White House 1902-1908. This particular firearm, designed by John Browning, was used to clear the estate of varmints at Sagamore Hill. While his rifle may not seen unusual or fancy, it does have a little something extra...a threaded barrel. The rifle has its very own suppressor, so as to not disturb the neighbors (the Duponts, the Tiffanys, etc.) he exhibit, Theodore Roosevelt - Trappings of an Icon: The Oval Office of the Summer White House 1902-1908, is currently open to the public at the NRA National Firearms Museum.
