Salutations from Idaho
HI! Coming in from Nampa, Idaho. Very novice about collecting shooting mil-surp guns I find it quite fascinating. I am dabbling in trying to put some back together to make shooters out of them, current projects are M91/30 Mosin, M38 Carcano Finn Short Rifle, VZ58, PPS43. I seem to have decent luck finding lightly sporterized and even barreled actions of some. Past projects where an SKS, AK, and an 30-40 Krag. I am a bit also into picking bits here and there of mil-surp gear to go along with some of these fine guns.

Hello I'm a new member to not only this group, but to collecting military surplus arms. My previous experience is in 1860's weaponry so I am just getting started. I appreciate all the articles and the knowledge this website has to offer.
thank you

Thank you.
Thank you for adding me to your ranks. I am interested in finding information on my 30 Caliber M1 Carbine. It was my Grandfathers and he left it to me at his death. It is supposed to have been in WWII but it is in like new condition so I have my doubts. It is a Winchester Ser. number 6580xxx. At the front top of the receiver is marked "US Carbine Cal 30 M1". At the front of the barrel on the left side if "Blue Sky/Arlington VA" the only other mark is a M with a line on the mag release. Can anyone help me learn anything about my gun? Thanks

New member here.
Good day to all. Names Jason here and i joined to do some research on an Enfield I just recently purchased. It's a No4 Mk1 and I am interested in learning its history. I am a current serving member in the US Army and I know all about the modern realm of weaponry, but the historic service rifles have always caught my eye. I am going to throw up a few pictures of the markings as I am sure there are far more experienced people on here that know way more about these things than I do. I have been doing some research on the web, but some of them are hard to decode when looking at them. Cheers to all.
Jason

Hello all, I have dabbled in WWI and WWII Pistols for ten years or so. While I know a little, I want to learn more, so I found my way here.
I am a retired Civil Engineer, an U.S. Navy Veteran and a Vietnam Veteran. I love my P08, 1911 and P38 Pistols. I now need Battle Rifles.
I like Battle Rifles hanging on my walls better than I like Wall Paper.

Hello fron central California
I've been collecting battlefield rifles for about 15 years. I love researching the history of these old rifles and how they were developed. Plus anything you can attach a knife (bayonet) to is very cool. I started with an 1891 Carcano I found in a barrel and covered in grease. The gun shop owner didn't want to touch it so he sold it to me for $50. Now lets just say my friends and family thinks I'm preparing for a war. I enjoy reading the posts on these great rifles.
