Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) Inc. 9
and unique Australian and foreign weapons to be made
available as a public museum. In 1994, the collection was
made available on loan to the town and from this was born
the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum Inc. In 1996 the
entire collection was signed over to the museum and given
that it's situated on the original factory site and houses its
history, this museum truly contains one of Australia's best and
most culturally significant collections that must be protected
into the future.
The museum has approximately 7,000 visitors per annum
including dedicated researchers from around the world.
It's open 5 days per week (7 days during school holidays)
and continues to be manned and managed by a dedicated
group of volunteers. I highly recommend it for every sporting
shooter and look forward to hearing about your own visits
to the Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum in the future.
