No Lowballers, Podcast, Videos

As summer winds down and back-to-school season creeps in, the No Lowballers crew invites you to squeeze in one last adventure—an all-American firearms museum road trip. Logan Metesh of High Caliber History and Allen Forkner of GunBroker.com map out the ultimate coast-to-coast journey to some of the best gun museums in the country. Whether you’re into antique arms, military firearms, presidential history or Hollywood guns, this itinerary has something for everyone.

From the historic halls of Springfield Armory to the cutting-edge Cody Firearms Museum, the duo guides listeners through collections, must-see displays, and the stories behind the guns. Bonus stops, bourbon tastings and Buc-ee’s bathrooms included.

Episode Highlights:

  • Why Springfield Armory is ground zero for M1 Garand fans
  • The Blanchard lathe and how it changed firearm production forever
  • A stop in D.C. to see Lincoln’s engraved Henry rifle at the Smithsonian
  • Inside the NRA National Firearms Museum: Hollywood guns, WWI dioramas, and the $4.2 million Parker Invincibles
  • Teddy Roosevelt’s safari rifle and the George Washington mystery musket at the Frazier History Museum
  • Kansas City’s WWI Museum: From Chauchat to trench warfare immersion
  • Exploring the NRA National Sporting Arms Museum inside Bass Pro Shops HQ
  • A prototype Winchester with a radio in the buttstock (yes, really)
  • Frank Hamer’s guns, TR’s bedside FN 1900, and presidential pieces
  • The Cody Firearms Museum’s Winchester connection, Glock evolution, and Teddy’s pajama patch gun rag
  • Bonus pit stops: Hastings’ Kool-Aid and cutaway Garand, J.M. Davis Museum, Daisy BB Gun Museum, National WWII Museum, and the USS Midway
  • Why every great road trip should include museums, kids, firearms, and questionable gas station snacks
