New member introductions thread ......

just started collecting refurb mosin nagant 91/30 low cost but very interesting at some point will expand alittle but for now enjoying the mosins

Hi, I am not a collector I just have one old gun left of several that I aquired some 40 years ago that I wish to sell.
It is an 8mm Berthier type rifle made by Chatellerault Mle 1907-15, MA C1916.
It has matching numbers on the stock, barrel, bolt and trigger plate.
I also have the brass handled kintting needle type bayonet for that rifle.

Hi everyone,
Just a quick intro. I'm now living in Oklahoma, USA. And I'm an "import Okie", or "displaced Dutchman"...:D
Love Milsurps. Owned guns while living in Europe, and own guns now. ALL Milsurps ofcourse :)
Always looking for oddball K98k stuff.....

Greetings. I am new to carbines. I bought one without prior knowledge, and made a mistake. It is a Universal. Now I am trying to educate myself enough to get a good one. There is so much to know. All I am sure of is they are great fun to shoot.

Greetings fellow gun enthusiasts. My son is a member of the PPCLI and is now laying in bed with cancer and is wanting a Lee Enfield sniper rifle. It is part of his bucket list and I was doing some searching for him on the net and discovered this site. I saw some incredible photos and info about the Lee Enfield and the converted models, like the 7.62mm L42A1 Sniper, and was wondering how to go about getting him one. We live on Vancouver Island and if anyone know someone who can assist I would really appreciate the help.

Hello one and all and thanks for a great site.
I have been visting this site for a few years now and it has provided hours of interesting reading and much useful information. I am especially interested in Lee Enfield Rifles and although the ones I now own have become a source of significant frustration and confusion, I find that I am spending more and more time and money trying to find out whether the ones I have obtained are safe to use.
I suppose that is in fact a large part of collecting old Milsurps. It's certainly keeping me occupied.
I had been warned!.

Hi Chaps,
New to centrefire rifle shooting in general. Decided a 303 enfield would be a good starting point!. Actually always wanted one in original trim, but ended up getting a sportered version. Still it was cheap so maybe I can afford another with more wood....
Great site, looks like I'm going to be a regular.
Matt

I am new here so thanks for including me. I come across odd military items sometimes when I am searching flea markets or yard sales and would like to inquire what certain things are to educate myself, thanks again, Paul

Hello,

This is new member introduction, from an older ex military member, that has gotten an interest in acquiring & accurizing CMP & surplus .22lr trainers. I recently acquired an H&R Model 12. After getting a Ken Viani mount, having a friend bed the stock with Devcon, & another friend got the trigger pull adjusted to 6-8 ounces, I have it shooting fairly well with Wolf Match Extra ammunition. My first ARA match with the gun I shot a 1750, & I would like to make it shoot more consistently.....

Any suggestions for futher improvement?


Thanks.....
