Greetings! I live in Virginia, USA. I'm a collector of firearms, especially those that have connections with important events in the history of a specific country or the world. Because of this interest, most of my collection are Mil. Surp. or police/government agency guns. I'm especially fond of firearms from the Americas, and am going through a Mauser phase at the moment ... but I tend to pick up anything that interests me and/or seems to be a good investment. My education, training, and background is quite varied, but includes History, Historic Preservation, History of Technology, and Public Policy. I like to use a given firearm, or set of related firearms, as a springboard to understand what was going on in that country at the time that the guns were designed, manufactured, contracted for purchase, used, etc. There's always plenty to learn.

Looking forward to conversing with you all.

New member.... I have a 1917 Remington Enfield, built in June of 1918. I took it into a gunsmith today to have him look it over. Can't wait to shoot it. I'm here to learn all I can about this rifle. I'd appreciate any guidance you all can give me.

I came across this site while researching an Arisaka I found this weekend and I must say, I'm impressed. The wife and I go to alot of garage sales in the SW Wisconsin area and are always looking for vintage military surplus weapons. I'll post some pictures of some of my collection within the next few days.

I have been collecting about 20 years with a few additions before. I started on the CRRFL board many year ago. I am really interested in the science, technology and history behind military firearms and have 31 countries represented in my collection. I am working on an issue of a M1 Carbine shooting very much to the right even after moving the rear sight all the way to the left. I will be searching for some answers in previous posts. Thanks

Happy to have found the forum. I'm an NRA Patron member, Life member DAV and American Legion member.

I look forward to many discussions and knowledge sharing on the forums. My favorite WWII rifle is the good 'ol War Baby M1 carbine!

Hello, everyone.

I am a researcher that happened to stumble upon this forum while I was doing a Google Search for archive images of Malaysian army Sarawak Rangers.

Hi all,

Greetings from the UK

I have recently purchased an Enfield 1942 No4 Mk1* Longbranch.

Currently in the process of disassembly to clean away the patchy cosmolene

Managing to find most of the meanings of the proof marks and stamps that are on the various parts, which is very interesting to my geeky side.

A couple of markings that I have noticed seem to indicate that the rifle ended up under the ownership of the South African Government - a capital U with an arrow in it and what looks like a crossed rifle and arrow/spear with the letters S and A either side of it.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to ask but in the meantime I will immerse myself in the very informative articles on this site
