45th Annual Tennessee Kentucky Rifle Show: Walter Cline Photography and Chunk Guns Exhibit


At the 45th Tennessee Kentucky Rifle Show there will be an exhibit of Walter Cline photography as well as some Chunk guns from his collection.

Walter Matson Cline (1873-1941) was a Chattanooga, TN, photographer and preeminent historian and collector of muzzle loading firearms. His book "the Muzzle-Loading Rifle Then and Now" became the authority on the history of black powder firearms when it was published in 1942, shortly after his death. The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association, of which Cline was an early member, is headquartered in Friendship, IN, and is home to the Walter Cline shooting range.
