4 Iconic Guns That Made Billy the Kid a LEGEND

Back in 2024, I took a little trip to Fort Sumner, New Mexico to see the Billy the Kid Museum. 

It was a museum with plenty of historical items besides those of Billy the Kid. I highly recommend a visit.

I also visited Billy's gravesite. 

Here is a video on the guns used by Billy the Kid by Clean Caliber.  

Summary: 

Billy the Kid became more than an outlaw—he became an idea wired into metal. In a brief, violent arc through New Mexico, he moved with pistols, carbines and shotguns that together wrote the story people still read today. We’ll follow four weapons closely tied to his life, and stay to see which one sold for over $6 million.
