Hello, this looks to be interesting... ! Hopefully, I'll be able to help someone, as will some may help me.
I'm into Edged Weapons; as well as Firearms, and Helmets. I am especially interested in Trench Knives, Fighting Knives, & Bayonets of World War 1, (and Two), but really, the earlier stuff is cooler....! So, I'm looking for all that stuff, go ahead & break it out ! Even if its not for sale..!
Oh yeah, anybody heard of a pocket-sized knife made by Case (I think)
& issued to (at least, some) of our troops, & it was a "Butterfly" knife ?!
I have seen one such knife; a single-edged one made by "Case", I believe.
85 year old ww2 vet,rides Harley-Davidson m.c.more guns than i need,and have a few bayonets and few rifles.Quote:

I enjoy the old stuff much more, its always fun to take a out a old wood stock rifle and go shooting 100 yards with the iron sights. I am also starting a collection within the collection of SKS rifles, so far i have 2 Russians1951,1953, and Two yugos. a M59, and a 59/66. I am going to try and collect as many variants as i can within reason. I find these old guns fascinating and joined here as im sure i can learn more from you guys and the other boards i belong to. I always to try go after the quality items, i dont mind paying a few dollars more when i need to but i am also enjoying the hunt when looking for a great cond rifle at a steal of a price. :D .
Hi 50 + years of shooting and gun collecting experience. A genuine Springfield 03 Nut.
Hi folks, just an old coot here who is trying to pick up some info that seems to have fallen thru the cracks of my memory over the years. I have owned all the U.S. Mil. rifles from the trapdoor to the ar 15 with the excepion of the Krag, also owned some Brits. and German. I presently have a couple of p14 actions and am thinking of building a .416 rigby. I'll be lurking mostly.

I'm Not Sure About Using Those P-17 Actions To Build A Big Magnum, Like The .416 Rigby. I've Heard Stories; About The Recievers' Splitting Around The Locking Lugs... In A "ring" Around It. With At Least Some Of The Mfg.'s (singer, Rock-o-la) And Some Years; 1944, 1945, 1946 That Good Steel Really Was'nt Available.
Whats up folks.
I just signed up and figured I'd say hello.
I've been into firearms for most of my life and somehow have always gravitated to military surplus type rifles for some reason.
I used to own several Lee Enfields (long since sold ) and am presently on a Swedish Mauser kick.
Later

hi everybody.I am renewing my interest in firearms as my kids grow older and are showing interest.just comparing sks to m 14 right now as one or the other will be my next purchase...later
I was a soldier once (reduced afterward, but I was a soldier once) and I am a niche collector; I collect the small-arms of America and America's allies for the first 10 years of the Cold War, 1946 - 1956 (roughly Greek and Chinese Civil wars to the Hungarian Rising and Suez. I have M-1s Garand and carbine, No. 4 Lee-Enfield, MAS 36 and Brazilian contract S&W .45 now, others as finances permit. I want well-used but functioning weapons with the post-WW II modifications.Quote:
