New member introductions thread ......

Hey Guys I'm new & am looking to sell a few things

New to forum and looking forward to information and wisdom available here. I have a Garand, M1 carbine, Mosin 91/30, Sako M39, and Yugo M48. All are shooters, not much of a collector.

I am an avid collector of English Enfield Rifles and whilst I am lucky enough to have the 4T and L42a1 in my collection funds limit other items I would like to get.

I have recently turned my attention to Winchester Rifles. I obviously need to aquore a Winchester P14 to go with the rest of my Enfields but I a interested in a 1992 lever action rifle. I am shocked at the current price for oringinal examples. I am considering an original example of a copy namely the El Tigre. Any thoughts?

Hi there.
Have browsed the site a number of times & never got around to registering and now that I have, I see that I am expected to say a few words by way of introduction. So; hello to you all out there, herewith a brief potted history on my background and interests.
As the user name suggests I am an ex-REME Armourer having joined in 1960 and left in 1984.
Apprenticeship at Carlisle, did the normal rounds of BAOR, Far East and a 6 month stint in Libya when Gaddafi was only a Captain. Finished my time with a 5 year stint at RSAF Enfield, so I started with the No. 4 & L1A1 Rifles and finished with the lamented SA80 and Hughes Chain Gun.
Lifelong shooter of just about everything, albeit I packed in service and target rifle shooting some years ago. I have been a member of a game shooting syndicate now for around 30 years and shoot most Saturdays throughout the season. I have 3 English Springers, 1 retired and 2 still working. I use these for my own game shooting, plus I pick-up on a commercial shoot once a week. I work 3 days a week for a firm producing mounts for MGs mainly for vehicle and boat fitting. If you have seen `Mastiff` or the L/Rover WMIK on TV, thats one of our mounts. We also specialise in fitting day & night vision equipment to just about every weapon that is in service world-wide. Anyway, before you all doze off, here endeth the lecture. Look forward to joining the discussions when I have something deep and meaningful to add. Cheers. REMEWalla.

I am a retired US Army SFC and then retired from 16 years as a Army Civilian employee, makes me a double dipper I guess. I spent about 16 years overseas, mostly in the Far East, with 5 years in Germany. The first 10 years I was in tank units and life was pretty rough. then I went into Logistics and learned a skill that I used till I retired from Civil Service. I have been collecting
C&R's for about 20 years. I like old Mauser mainly sm ring, some Finns, some rarity's in the Nagant series. I also have some nice BPCR original and replica. I still have problems explaining the value of buying a collectible at 300 and later selling at 600. She can grasp investments in any other form except guns. I also live in the SW about 50 miles north of the Mexican border and am as far a conservative on the right as Glenn Beck, maybe more on the right.

Hi ,I have joined a little while ago but have lurked up to now,I have 7 Enfields and a kar 98 which I shoot as often as possible.I also have some sporting rifles of various vintages with which I control deer and vermin.I hope to continue to improve my knowledge especially re. P14 "Enfields" as I own a very clean and tidy one.
As they say ,thats all for now.

My milsurps run the gamut.
I specialize in Galils.
My current favorite is a Knights - SR25 20" .308.
Pistols are good, too, especially 1911's.
1911's in .10mm are even better.
Revolvers in .41 mag rule.

Always remember:
"If your extraction is not eminent you cannot have too much ammo!
Fire and fall back, regroup and counter attack."

reddhawk, out.

Hi - just registered today after finding this site by accident, I'm not sure why I had never found it before either, but I'm glad I have.

I've been collecting military items since well back into childhood and milsurp guns since I was legal to own a gun.

I look forward to participating on this site.

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie to this forum. Looks lik ethis will be one of my favoriate stops as I've been collecting and shooting Milsurps for 30+ years. I'm hopeful that I can contribute as well as learn!

Thanks!

Hello everyone I am SFClgh211. I live in North Carolina and a SFC in the US Army. I found your site while looking for information on how to make elevation changes to a MK3 Enfield/Jungle Rifle clone. I own a M1 Garand, the Enfield a FR8 Spanish Mauser and a Mosin-Nagant. I enjoy shooting and researching information about Milsurplus Weapons and shooting them. I will have plenty more questions than answers so bear with me. Thanks.
