Hello everyone. I was told this is a good site for a military gun buff like myself. I have collected various military firearms over the years including the Colt 1911, Lugers, Enfields and Thompsons. The Thompson has been one of my passions since I was a boy.

Hi, I am a new member and love this forum. I love how you can hold a milsurp.rifle in your hand while watching your favorite War movie or documentary and feel a connection to the brave people of the past. Adam

Hi! I'm a VERY new member, joining to learn what I can about acquiring, if posssible, a deactivated Long Branch Sten gun. (I'm already in the process of getting a deactivated SMLE, and would really like a companion wall-hanger that would suit it.

Hello all:
I just signed up. I'm recently retired and i am picking up on my shooting hobby. I am currently interested in reloading for my Garands. I a few other rifles including 2 Enfields. One is Indian, 1948. That doesn't realyl count but it does have that great pugnacious look. Glad to be here!

Hello from NC!
At the request of my son I dug out my dads old. 303,and ss soon as I did the reality set in that I don't know squat about it. And as I researched it I ended up here. It's a 1943 Long Branch, the rear of the stock appears to be original but the front end appears to be possibly custom and a free float set up. The sights are not original (I don't think) and would like to put a scope on it. My dad killed numerous deer with this rifle and it's about the only thing I inherited when he passed. I would like to clean it up and pass it on to his grandson.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!

I am most pleased that I have just become a member of Milsurps.com and am so grateful to all the members who have posted vast amounts of information, photographs, technical diagrams and manuals etc. I am especially grateful to the member who so kindly uploaded the Hesketh-Prichard book "Sniping in France" (a subject which I am starting to find extremely fascinating since reading Martin Pegler's relatively recent book "Sniping in the Great War" which is also a very interesting book) - what an incredible mine of information I have found contained in this book written in 1919. This is a great site and I intend to regularly browse and refer to it just for the sheer enjoyment of reading anything and everything that is contained on it. Thank you very much indeed.

Hi All

I'm new to this forum but I have been lurking around CGN for awhile and seeing as I'm a volunteer with a military museum and my area of expertise is modern firearms in use by the CF, and the Lee-Enfield MK III and No4 I figured I had best get on a forum with a database and people who know more about the older firearms than myself
