Default JM Davis Arms Museum Claremont Oklahoma

I was told about this place a few years back but just recently managed to visit it.

Billed as the largest private arms museum in the country, I can't picture anything beating it.

This building has thousands of guns ranging from blunderbusses to machine guns. Parker shotguns to Belgium knockoffs to English best mades. Some of the guns are off the wrack models you could find at your hardware store and others are collectibles. Some are even attributed or connected to western outlaws.

Cool place if you ever find yourself around Tulsa Oklahoma.

Some of the info and labeling on his parkers is misinformed or incorrect, but it was cool seeing 90 or so Parkers ranging from lifters to DHEs with hammered and hammer less variations between. Including several non factory guns. He had about as many lefever, Fox, Remington, Colt, Winchester. Browning, savage, etc side x sides and I don't know how many Belgium and English shotguns.

Found a 5 gauge which is the largest gauge I have ever personally seen. Not a parker but it was still cool.


He had a cool parker that was a sleeved in one barrel for a 38-55. That was cool. Couldn't find the serial number on it but was made in 1902 according to the label.

Evenn had a couple of superfoxes according to the labels. Nothing higher than a DHE though


This may all be old hat to some of yall but it was new to me.
