New member introductions thread ......

Hi, I'm new here but not to shooting/loading/collecting.

The local gun club here in Macon, GA is hosting a WWI Centennial Match and I thought members here may be interested. I don't see a Match notification or Competitive shooting section. Is there such a thing and are members allowed to post such?

Thanks!

I have a signal lamp M-283 that I know nothing about. It looks to be aluminum. I have attached a photo. Any information would help. Thank you.

Just introducing myself and researching information on # 4 mk1 rifles after just picking one up from a life of sitting in a basement not being used.

The name I have chosen is the name of the Guatemalan SF. I went through their course back in 96. It was grueling as can be imagined. I also graduated from their Airborne program in 92. I am a US citizen and former US Marine.
I have been a collector for many years and have had the opportunity of owning many unique and wonderful pieces of US and Foreign gear, although most pieces have now been sold or traded off.
If my experience may be of value to any one of you then I offer it.

Regards and Semper Fi

Hi everybody,
I have just joined the forum. I am from sunny South Africa and it is a honour for me to be part of the discussion group.
I own a 1914 BSA mk 3. SMLE. It has been in my family for 70 years. Shot a Blesbok this weekend on a hunting trip. Grouping still 10mm (3/8").
It is no longer original as I have made it a sporting rifle. If I knew how to post you a picture I would love to.

Hello to everyone ! I have been lurking on this forum on and off trying to gather information regarding the M1 Garand. I finally got my M1 recently from CMP but unfortunately I am here in Saudi Arabia and can't caress my baby until next year when I go home on leave. Glad to be here and hopefully will learn more about maintaining the battle rifle , feeding it with cast bullets.

Hello everyone,

What a great site website !!! I am a former soldier and have been a collector for over 35 yrs. I am interested in US military items and firearms. I am most proud of my M1 Garands and 1903A3 Springfield. One thing I have notice is there is some very knowledgeable folks on the forums ! Thanks to all for allowing me to be a member of this group.

Hello all,
This is my first forum message.
As an Enfield fan i have enjoyed this site for its information. My rifle is a Parker Hale regulated one to issue spec incl a AGP Ball Burnished barrel, shoots very well indeed!

Hello, I'm Jeff from WV, waiting on my M1, which I ordered last week. Had the opportunity to shoot this weekend at a club in Ohio. It was a Garand clinic, got to shoot (the clubs m1) from all the positions and found it to be very challenging @ 200 yards. First time ever shooting anything like that and I'm looking forward to have more opportunities to doing it more. Just wanted to say Hello, and appreciate all the good information here.
