Hello all. Im a 1919a4 beltfeed shooter, and I reload in volume.

New member - I have a few ex-military rifles WWI German Mauser, a WWII Springfield Garand + M1 Carbine (QHMC). I am currently doing research on the M1.

Hi everyone,
I am new shooter and a new owner of a milsurp rifle. I cant wait for the snow drifts to melt so I can get out to the range.

I'm a new member and looking forward to participating. I'm especially interested in the M1 Garand.

Hello all, just signed up to the forum. Looks like a lot of great information to be had on this site.I have a modest collection of new and old handguns. I would say 18 to 20 at last count. I would have to say my two Colts, one old and one older are my pride and joy. A short limited history may be in order as not to bore you on my first post. My old Colt and I were born in the same year 1942 and not to great a distance from each other. Me in historic Boston, him in Hartford Conn. I am of Irish descent. He or she is a Colt 1911A1 who loves to be held in a hand that it seems to be mated too. My older Colt is a model 1860 .44cal. revolver. The s/n tells me the year of birth was 1862. She has a nice silver-grey patina, action works fine, serial numbers all match. I would like to know a lot more about this old Colt. I hope many in the forum will be able to fill in the blanks for such a great piece of history. Thanks for being here. Be well...Tony
