In this edition of The Gun Vault, Miss Ashley Hlebinsky, Robert W. Woodruff Curator at the Cody Firearms Museum, highlights a collection of world record setting firearms used by champion shooter Tom Knapp including the firearm he used to set his first world record, the Benelli M1 Super 90. Hlebinsky also shows us Knapp’s first gun, a Daisy N0. 25 Air rifle given to him as a child.
