Hello.
Have been reading CSP for some time and obviously have been away for long enough that format has changed. I am a C&R licensee with interest in WWII weaponry, specifically, M1 Carbines,M1911A1s, k98ks and P.08s. Look forward to participating with like-minded collectors.

Hi, I have been collecting around thirty years as well. I specialize in prewar Colts, post war Walthers and assault weapons. I enjoy the history behind the guns and finding "oddball" collectibles. I enjoy doing research about the guns I collect and making them complete or correct.

Hi Fellow Collectors,
I have been collecting U.S. Martial weapons, namely Colt SAA Revolvers, Springfield Trapdoor Carbines, !911/1911A1 Pistols and M1 Carbines for over 30 years.

Hi all, new member here. I've been a shotgun guy all my life and just getting into learning about milsurp rifles. My first purchase is in the mail - Lee Enfield No4 MK1. Hoping to learn lots about these great firearms.

Hello everyone. It's good to be here and I know that I'll learn alot from you.

I've been collecting for 20 years and my interests change from time to time what I'm collecting. I'm currently interested in Retro AR's so hopefully I'll be able to add to this forum for others.

BTW I used to be into FAL's/AK's/US Military weapons and assorted other firearms.

I think this is the former Cast Bullet Forum (CSP) that recently went off line due to an invasion of spam. I had belonged to this forum for about a year. Just getting back into shooting cast bullets in my rifles ad milsurps. I shoot a variety of 31 cals. 303,765,3006 and 762x54 & 4570.(have't been active a yr. or more.) Been an active IDPA shooter at club level and occasionally shoot IPSC.Log time reloader and bullet caster. Present saga is my scrubbing of a M44 barrel, 762x54 that defies all solvents I have thrown at her. SS brush and lead removing cloth keep producing black patches despite barrel looking clean to my naked eye....any thoughts on type of material I am trying to remove???afish4570

After a long absence from visiting the board "I'm back". I enjoy the Garand in which I have all four correct. A nice Saginaw SG carbine. A beautiful 1898 Krag, a lovely 1903, a handsome 1873 Trapdoor along with others in the family. By the way a great sight.

I have a mark on my 7,35 rifle it looks like a Russian capture mark. Its an x however it looks like two crossed rifle's. Can I put pictures on this site so others can see what I am talking about. It was made in T.E. Terni. Also next to the date 1939 it has XVIII and SA stamped on it.

The question I have is what is the X or what appears to be Two crossed Rifles.

Can someone answer the above question thank you?
