I have been a long time gun nut. I started shooting and reloading in the 70's but due to military commitments I had to cut short my involvement. Now I'm back and stronger than ever. I have a mauser yugo m48,t-99 Jap shooter and several others thats not milsurp but am working on it. Hope to add a Siamese Mauser (pristine,with numbers and bayonet) in the near future. I like to reload my own ammo instead of buying. I find it more interesting than just purchasing.I've found so much information on forums that it's cut down buying so many books. I'm sure with collector wisdom on line like you that I will have less trouble making my decisions.

Hey,

I'm Clammy. I came over form CGN. I am not a collector, but I have an avid interest in military firearms, specifically of WWII vintage. Currently, in the "Milsurp" category, I own a 1943 P-08 Luger (sadly with a replaced barrel to make in non-prohibited) , a nazi Browning Hi-Power, Yugoslavian M-59 SKS, and a couple of military style rifles: VZ-58S and Colt AR-15 SP1. You see where my interest lie, hehehe... in the future, I'm hoping to add a WWII vintage Garand (preferrably Springfield Armory), a German K98 with nazi markings intact, WWII era 1911-A1 (preferrably Colt or Remington Rand), and even though it's not a real milsurp, a BD-38 (newly manufactured semi-auto only copy of the MP-38).

Cheers!

Hello all,

I live in a small, Alaskan bush village. I subsitance hunt and fish and help my wife raise our two daughters and five sons. I am the water plant operator.

Yes I am a collector. I started out just to get a beater moose hunting gun and got a nice blued Win. Model of 1917. (It REALLY likes Federal 220 gr)

Last December I got an Ishy 2A, that is still getting cleaned up, and nicely. A couple months later I got a 1943 BSA No.4Mk1, two months later I got a 1942 Maltby No4Mk1 w/a nice two groove barrel, about two months after the Maltby I got a UF55 No.4Mk2 and then two weeks ago I got a Longbranch No.4Mk1/3. I'll pass them on to my kids when thay are old enough.

I am going to concentrate on shooting and reloading now.

This site does have a wealth of valuable information and good people,

Thanks

Looking forward to many hrs of interesting reading on the forum

Whoops! I initially posted this in the wrong section. RTQ has always been a weak point with me.

Hi,
Just signed in and must say that this looks like an excellent site. While I currently own 6 different Enfields ranging from a 1915 No1 MkIII to a No5 , I have nothing to contribute here, But I do look forward to learning.

Hello
I am from Pennsylvania and have wandered north of the border to find info on the Ross Rifle. I picked up a 1905 Mk ll at a local gun show ( stock cut down but otherwise intact ) and enjoy shooting it. I would like to restore it and the search for wood begins.

I am a new member and desided to join in hopes that I can find informatiom on my Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk1 Rifle.

Specifically, does anyone know if a scope mount is make for this rifle that does not require removal of the rear site and will allow the bolt to be removed without removing the scope mount.

If so, please provide information on where I can buy it.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
