New member introductions thread ......

Hey, Ive recently begun collecting military surplus rifles and well

its a bit addicting....

and its no fun being an addict by yourself, Ill be posting pictures and such soon!

I first met the M1 carbine about 40 years ago, when a friend got one from the CMP (or whatever it was called in those days) for $20. I finally just got my own from the CMP a couple of weeks ago. It cost a bit more than $20, even allowing for inflation, but it is sure worth it.

I'm not into milsurp that much really, I just like the M1 a lot. Thanks for running a great website.

Very new to this, forums and typing

Hi guy's i am Bal from BC i am a new on this forum just whana say Hello

hello..new member on deck...

Hello all, it's been a long while since I visited this wonderful site. Attending a gun show this last month has got me interested in my old service rifles. My son and I share a small collection of older rifles such as Garands, carbines, and Moisin-Nagants. What brought me here today was to seek information for an Armalite AR-18 that was given to me by my father-in-law. His dad apparently knew some folks that worked in the Armalite factory in Costa Mesa in the 60's. He was a police officer in that part of California during the 60's as well.

Hello gentlemen (and any ladies that might be out there) -

Special interest in weapons and their design - simply following the idea of "form follows function" - nothing there without a reason.

Looking forward to learning from you -
