Since I'm the new guy on the block, I came here to learn about Enfields, but I also have an interest in American guns. Actually, I like them all.

I personally like all Milsurps, but at the moment the focus is on Soviet firearms (up to the SKS) and Swiss firearms. After that the next priorities are Swedish, Portuguese, Japanese, Yugoslavian, and Austrian-Hungarian firearms.

Interesting - Lee Enfields almost as popular as US arms. I also have been bitten by the LE bug, but only have 4 at the moment - all in .303. Still, they are out numbered by, in order, US, Soviet Mosin Nagants, Mausers of all types.

My passion is Lee Enfield Rifles from the Boer War thru WW1. Followed by Imperial and Nazi German small arms. I persue WW1 and WW2 American, German and British small arms and combat uniforms. I belong to both a 501st of the 101st AB and 1st SS Panzer Pioneer reinacting groups. I have a 1960 Dnepr K750 Russian Motorcycle with sidecar and an original 1943 Steyr made MP40 that is a registered vet bringback.

Welcome aboard! We have a lot in common!
I spent some time at Ft Rucker so I'm familiar with the Dothan area, used to roller skate at the rink in Dothan.
I collect WW 2 German, US, Brit u. ruskie weapons u. misc items.
For WW2 reenacting I do 3/506th and Fallschirmjager. I have a couple of registered vet bring backs to include a bnz 43 MP 40, but I usualy use my MP 43 for reeenacting, I like it better.
I also have a Dnepr combi and a chicom copy. I have an MG 42 to eventually mount on the Dnepr. Have the mount, just haven't gotton around to installing it yet.

My major interests at this time are Mosins (all variations) and Mausers (again, all variations). I need more focus otherwise I'll go into debt trying to collect everything.

[read6737]

Other interests are .22 expecially misurp and others.
Reloading unusual amunition and making their cases.

my desire for a no1 mk3 lee enfield rekindled my interest in shooting, with the intention of just getting one center fire rifle, but now i want the whole "set". le, p14, ross and martini enfield... i can see a no4 mk1 in my future too...

if the laws here allowed them i'd love to add a bren and a lewis to the wish list too, plus of course an owen, but they are not even worth pipe dreaming about in Australia.

i would love to try out a whole cross section of milsurp firearms, but for now i plan to stick strictly to .303 .

if i ever go for a handgun licence the first cab off the rank will be a .445 webley mkVI (1917 dated if possible) as my grandfather bought one on the docks when he disembarked from his hospital ship in sydney in 1941. (the one he was issued went into the harbour at singapore before they left) his is now owned by my uncle and will go to his son, so one that is the same will have to do me.

I love all the old milsurp bolt actions but my focus and main collecting targets are Japanese firearms and German firearms as those are some of the hardest to find in my area in unmessed with shape. I've practically given up on finding any German k98s at shows since apparently they've become hen's teeth in my area (in four years I've only seen maybe as many k98s but three of them were show and tells and the other was so badly screwed up that I wouldn't touch it for any price) but I do have one my great uncle sent home from France in storage so I can deal with it for now. Thankfully arisakas are somewhat available but only the more common variants (type 99 short rifles and type 38 long rifles). I'm still on the hunt for a type 44 locally and any of the harder to find variants but again no real luck.
