Before the big CGN crash of '05, I had these and more pics of the Springfield Armoury museum, in Springfield, Mass. I'll put these couple up and if wanted I can put up some more. I took these on my tour in May of this year.
The museum holds some of the most important firearms in history. This is where the US military's firearms were manufactured from approx. 1856 until 1964. The grounds today house a technical college with most of the old armoury buildings simply sitting empty and decaying. :x
Here is the front of the main building where the rifles were shipped out of to the military.
Here is the back of the same building where the main museum is.
Here is the main assembly area building.
And here is a pic of the first M1 Garand to roll of the assembly line.
