Missouri Headwaters State Park to host presentation on firearms of the Montana frontier

HELENA – On Saturday, June 24, Kevin Underwood will give a presentation about the history and evolution of firearm technology in Montana through the 19th Century. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. at Missouri Headwaters State Park.

Underwood completed a rigorous three-year gunsmithing school at Yavapai College in Arizona. For the past nine years, he has been gunsmithing, specializing in 19th Century arms, and is a member of the Montana Historical Gunmakers Guild. For the past 15 years, his favorite pastime has been competing in historically based shooting events and living history encampments. Underwood has been an advisor on TV shows and currently in the process of starting his own gunsmithing shop in Three Forks.

The park is located at 1585 Trident Road in Three Forks. The presentation is free for Montana residents and $8 for all out-of-state vehicles. Camp chairs and bug spray are encouraged. S'mores will be provided. For more information call the park at 406-285-3610 or email [email protected].

Did you go to Buffalo Jump by Great Falls? Worth the drive for sure.
