- We set out on a pilgrimage to Ogden Utah, the home of John Moses Browning, and took a tour of the JMB Firearms Museum at Union Station. Well, Eli was happier than a pig in mud, as he got to see actual prototypes of pistols that led up to the 1911 as well as other Browning inventions like the automatic rifle and BAR. Join Eli as Phil from the Museum, walks through a short history of JMB inventions that led to the 2 time World War champ..... the 1911.
That was worthwhile my time
this would have been around... 2002 or 2003: I was driving home to Western Washington from a trip to Texas and the route I took went through Ogden Utah. I saw the sign for this museum and HAD to go. I just happened to be wearing my John Moses Browning ball cap. I walked up to the ticket counter and the lady working inside did a double take... and let me in for FREE. She said she had never seen anyone come IN to the museum already wearing a JMB hat. It was a great museum. What a genius the man was.
My testosterone went up to critical levels watching this. The land of JMB, the museum of JMB, Eli, too much manliness!
It's like a test shot in media form.
@alchemy1911 absolutely! Just spoke to Eli, gonna get me some ACW goodness started! Yall are great people to work with
Hey Larry! Eli here! Thanks for being apart of the ACW family! @@larryblair4765

As We All Know
John Moses Browning Invented The Firearm
Shortly after Inventing The Time Machine ofocurse
Great Presentation
Just a amazing Museum of John Browning Genius , hands down. Thanks for the video.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I was literally sitting on the edge of my seat during this entire video! Thinking to myself: how could one building contain the mind of "Mr. John"? Are there rare models/ low serial number arms in steamer trunks, or even grave sites all over America? Nice touch to include Kalashnikov, as J.M.B. was his idol!
If in the San Antonio TX area, The Buckhorn Saloon & Museum and Texas Ranger Museum is a MUST. They have a large collection of firearms, many of which are customized 1911's. Tons of history and only a few blocks from the Alamo
Say less, I would love that!
Very nice place. When I went I filmed with my GoPro and was stopped by a gentleman that asked me if I am from the press because “the city doesn’t like that”. Of course I am not from the press. Putting me in the spotlight in front of people was a bit weird.
RAD BRO!
Great video, thanks. Now I have to visit this museum. The guide's historical knowledge is very impressive, as is Eli's. It was nice to see a more subdued and respectful side of Eli, too...he just gained some respect from this 'boomer.' ...not that he would care, haha.
Hey Steve, I think it's a common misconception that I don't like or respect older folks. Most of those conversations were jokes, leaning into the old v. young "thing" that follows the 1911 around. I grew up around old hot rodders, veterans, and gun guys who enjoyed jokes on the"tougher" side. I picked that up and assumed that was the way things worked elsewhere. I don't mean to be disrespectful to older guys, some of my closest friends are in their 70's.
I'm so happy you loved the video!

Great educational piece.

(thank you for great video)
Thank you!
I’m a 1911 guy but was kinda surprised that there was no mention of the Hi-Power…
Well, in all fairness, we didn't cover 90% of the guns Browning made...
What’s the best gun JMB ever made?
M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun. Still in use today. Has stacked way more bodies than a 1911. Having said that, the 1911 is the second best firearm from the great JMB
Great interview Eli (and Nick) very well done! Phil was awesome too!
The M2 is awesome.
Awesome! It’s time to start planning my pilgrimage to Ogden.
Glad you finally got to see JMB's museum. I know you would love it.
Great video.
Pretty neat look at some cool old guns.
Cool doesn't even begin to describe it. The prototype BAR was NUTS.
"Allowing Phil to talk to you all' When was it going to be that you would let Phil talk, Eli?
👍💯💪
