New member introductions thread ......

riverm,
Thank you for your service to our country in the Navy and also as a LEO. I am a new M1 Garand owner and can't find info fast enough. Look forward to reading your posts as I'm sure you have many interesting stories.

Hi,
I suppose to introduce myself... Hi!
I got interested in Brens and ended up on this site and found a lot of interesting things! Looks like there are a lot of knowledgeable folks here, and thanks for helping make this site possible.:dancingbanana:

Hello to all.

Steve from the Atlanta GA area.

I collect Garand, M1 Carbine, Vintage bolt and shoot all in the CMP matches.

Also shoot high power and bullseye pistol. Looks like there is a lot here to spend my $$$ on!

Hello group! I found my way over here after having been on the old Culver's site quite some time ago. Seems I had gotten lost since then somehow, so I guess I'll start over again as "the new guy". :wave:

Former C&R holder and been collecting for a number of years. No new additions to the collection though since that pretty much ended when my employment did. But I can still enjoy what I do have..... :D

So -- what's the latest in the milsurp world? How is everyone? Well I hope.

Wam, my names initials. Thought i posted a hello, a while back. Also, i am not shouting with capitals. I find it easier to read caps on screen. Someone told me caps was shouting. Also, have rheumatoid arthritis, typing difficult. I enjoyed going over the site the amount i did. Last night i happened apon the"lewis and clark air gun". Remarkable! In the 60's i always wanted a .177 seridan blue streak. Looks like i can modify the .22 crossman c02 i got for christmas, instead of the sheridan. I am 59 yrs. Old. Got my first rabbit when i was 12 or 13. Used iver johnson 12 ga. Single. Bagged it about 150 ft. From here in 1963. I am in the city now, damned immenint domain laws of nc. Unconstitutional. Cannot shot these days. Can lift a small calibre pistol, barely. Brought up out in the country, piedmont north carolina. Used to be pretty handy, with firearms, recurve bow and throwing knife. No fun anymore. The reason i searched on line about firearms was to find out the history and monetary value of a 1903-a3 camp perry match model. I purchased it from a ww11 army col. In 1968-9. Thats what he said it was. It was manufactured by remington. It has a lyman peep site. Had an impressive grouping at 2 and a half power line towers. Do not know actual distance. Did not fire it allot. Good ammo was to expensive and more affordable military surplus nato, was steel jacketed and not good for barrel, i was told. So with rheum. Arth. And being on disability i have to consider selling it. Someone told me the nra could provide the history of the 03 from its serial #. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Arms are giving out now. Going to soak in cool water. Posting......wam

Looks like CAP. letters are programed out of posts....WAM

Great to be here at this great forum.
I want to learn more about Military Firearms and I see a lot of other stuff that interest me.
So that's why I'm here.
