Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Spending nearly every waking moment in his father's gun shop, it wasn't long before a 10-year-old John Browning would exhume the barrel of an old flintlock from the junk pile to build a rifle. With his father Jonathan away for the day, young John charged his 6-year-old brother Matt with the task of stripping the rust from the barrel while he concentrated on forming the stock from a stick of wood. John wound a piece of wire tightly around the barrel and stock and affixed a scrap of tin as a flash pan. His ignition system was simple: On his command, Matt would light the pan with an ember at the tip of a sliver of pine.
Just a few hours after beginning the project, the two barefoot boys - John carrying the rifle and Matt slinging a perforated tin can full of glowing coke - were off to test their workmanship on prairie chickens. By morning, a few locks of John's hair had been roasted, but the Browning family was dining on biscuits, and the three birds were taken with the boy's first shot - the shot that sparked a brilliant revolution in firearms. One hundred thirty-six years later, we've realized that every youngster's first shot is just as monumental as John and Matt's. That's why, every year, NRA introduces to more than 10,000 young people shooting sports through NRA Shooting Sports Camps - a program that brings together eager youngsters with the best the shooting community offers. Conducted at local gun clubs nationwide, the camps provide a tremendous opportunity for young people to learn about shooting sports and firearm safety in a hands-on environment under the guidance and supervision of highly experienced coaches and instructors.
The shooting sports camps wouldn't be possible without the generous support of NRA members and industry partners through the NRA Foundation. Browning Arms Co., the company that John Browning founded 126 years ago, recently created an endowment within the NRA Foundation to ensure the shooting sports program continues to be funded for many generations. Aptly named the John M. Browning Endowment, it is part of NRA's Marksmanship and Training Endowment. Kicking off the endowment, Browning worked with the firearm distribution firm of Davidson's to create a pair of extraordinary limited edition Buck Mark pistols in the tradition of the Partners For the Future series. The first Partners For the Future gun was the William B. Ruger Endowment Special NRA Edition Mark II pistol two years ago, and last year, three Beretta shotguns celebrated the creation of the Beretta Youth Endowment. The John M. Browning Endowment Special Edition Buck Marks are the Hi-Grade and Grade 1 Models. Production of the first of the two pistols - the Buck Mark Hi-Grade Model - is limited to 1,001 guns. This model features an anodized blue frame, a stainless steel slide, a gold trigger, and a pair of stainless barrels.
The Hi-Grade Buck Mark comes fitted with a 5 ½" slab-side barrel that is brushed on its round surfaces and polished on the flats. The spare is a 7 ¼" bull barrel that is completely polished and features and integral scope base. Both barrels sport an adjustable Pro-Target rear sight and TRUGLO/Marble's fiber optic front sight. The chambers are hand-reamed for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, and the crowns are recessed. Both barrels feature matching engraving with gold accents. The right side of each barrel is engraved with Browning's signature and likeness, while the left features the NRA logo, the Browning "Buckmark" icon, and the "PARTNERS FOR THE FUTURE" banner. The stock is laminated walnut, tastefully checkered, and features stars-and-stripes engraving on each side, combining the NRA and Browning logos.
The first 11 Buck Mark Hi-Grade Model pistols had extraordinary destinies. They received special treatment in that they were hand engraved by Baron Technology, contributing to the project. The first pistol was stamped with the serial NRA00000 and was sent to Fairfax, Va., where it will become a permanent addition to the collection of the National Firearms Museum. The NRA then offered the second pistol, numbered NRA00001, in an online auction at www.nrafoundation.org that ended during the 2006 NRA Annual Meetings in Milwaukee. Serial numbers NRA00002 through NRA00005 were awarded to four members who donated at least $5,000 to the John M. Browning Endowment of the NRA Foundation. Serial numbers NRA00006 through NRA00010 were awarded for donations of $2,500 to the John M. Browning Endowment. The next group of guns, from serial number NRA00011 through NRA00500, were offered directly to collectors who purchased a numbered William B. Ruger Endowment Special NRA Edition Mark II. Those folks were sent a letter and will have first right of refusal. Unclaimed sub-500 Hi-Grade Buck Marks were then offered to the general public for an additional $100 donation to the NRA Foundation.
