I am new to this forum and am very interested to participate. I do travel quite a bit, so it is likely my responses will be delayed. I have a major interest in US WW II Field gear, weapons, and Personal items. This extends to all major Allies and Axis belligerants as well - infantry - where wars are one and lost.

User name is Horrido. Real name is Marshall Vernon. I live in Simi Valley, California, USA.
I am new to this forum. I was looking for a No. 32 scope. Eventually I plan on putting together a No. 4 MKI (t) Rifle (originals are a bit pricey). My collection is modest, both long guns and hand guns. fixed ammunition and black powder. my interest is mainly military firearms, although I have non-military. Some hard to find, others common. Right now I have collected a few sniper rifles: m41B Swedish Mauser, original M1D (DCM), M1C (not original, athough scope is), M1D, mount and scope orginal and Mosin Nagants; Pu and PE scoped versions, etc. I could go on, but don't want to bore you. Anyway, ran across this site and decided to join. Looks very interesting. Thank you for your time.

Hi guys (gals?)

I have collected 300+ rifles, shotguns and handguns. I have only a general understanding of the oldies and look forward to learning a lot more about them on this forum.

My oldest gun is a Tower musket. It is like a Tower rifle, but has no rifling. maybe a trade gun?

My nicest piece is a German double barrel rifle made in the 1920s. A 8x60R toped with a Zeis scope in a claw mount.

My heaviest piece is Lithgow Bren MkII.

My funnest shooter is a Garand. I like the sights.

My problem at the moment is a PPSh41 that won't burp. I suspect a mag problem or an ammo problem. Have both mags and Have not tried one of them.

I have delveloped loads for many of my guns and have kept good records. I have some expertise in the loading business. At one time I was buying bullets by the one ton skid (about 40,000 bullets) and buying powder by the pickup truck load (1,300 pounds).
