Hello, new guy checking in.
Hi Everyone and welcome to your new home. I'm from Northern Ohio about 35 miles from the North Store. I'm approaching 60 quickly and a vetern. All I have to say for now.
A CSP member who found this.. Nice place Mike Hall
Hey All!
Clicked on my Culver's link and your site came up. I've been at the Internet for years and have never noticed this site....but it looks like a good one! :dancingbanana: Now it'll take me a while to figure out all the stuff here but hopefully if it is like other gun sites, there will be boatloads of help as well as a wealth of knowledge. I just have to figure out how it all works!
Been a shooter since I was 3 1/2 (Grandpa always insisted on early education) shooting pellet rifles in his basement. Got my first .22 on my 5th Christmas (Thanks, Grandpa!)
Being a hunter and shooter since a tender young age, it goes that I'd end up a collector, too. I've been a member of the Minnesota Weapons Collectors for over 30 years (early years on and off as I could afford it) my family are all Life NRA members, I teach Firearms Safety for the Minnesota DNR (Volunteer) and am a Certified NRA Instructor (Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun, RSO) as well as a Boy Scout Shooting Merit Badge Counselor.
I also belong to the Thompson Collectors Association (Ooooh! A postal worker with machineguns!). Yep! Just another phase of the hobby!
I really have no idea exactly how many guns I own as the total keeps changing, but usually upwards....
Main projects right now are M1 Carbines (own 4 so far and am "correcting" and cleaning them up with my 19 year old son). Also have 2 Garands and shoot locally in gas gun matches.
Reload over 20 calibers as well as hunting for anything that will get me outdoors for a couple days, Love to fish, shoot prairie Dogs, Travel (so I can hit gun shows in other states, according to my Wife!)
Member of many other forums as either postal or John (real name) for as many years as I've had a computer (1994?).
I 'spose that's enough for now, but again, HELLO to all the folks on this board....you'll see me around!

Tought I lost my mind when I got here... I know it was only last week I checked that jouster page. Long time CSP member, garand shooter, and enfield shooter. It may take a while to get used to the new site but I'm glad all the old regulars are here.
Just signed up today as a new member. My interest at the moment lies in collecting the various British Lee Enfield rifles . I am looking to purchase a #5 rifle ( Jungle Carbine ) as my next project.
Hi, I collect WWII Italian (Carcano rifles & Beretta pistols) also German occupation weapons, holsters, cartridges. Some Finnish, British, U.S. and Japanese.
