While at the Visitor Center by the bridge, I picked up a brochure which I couldn't resist and I drove here:
I wanted to try a Lanchester, but unfortunately, it wasn't operational, so I had to settle for a Thompson, a BAR, an Mp. 41 and a Sten Mk. V. Great fun, but quite expensive. I was firing on an indoor rifle range and the guys next door on the pistol range, commented that it sounded like WWIII had broken out!
I had a good look at the Lanchester - quite heavy and very nicely made, but very complex. I can see why the Sten was developed.
Here is about one-quarter of the store - note the pink rifles!
Having got the aggression out of my system
, I crossed the Colorado River into California and headed west for Barstow.
