Hi all, New here, started collecting about 35 years ago with an old Carcano.
New to this site, looking for a good to excellent 1917 stock to replace the broken one on my rifle, not really interested in aftermarket ones.
Anyone have any expierience with the bullpup stock for a M1A? Considering one to put on a Fed Ord M1A I picked up, think they look pretty slick. Could also use a couple of spare mags as well.
Thanks to all who have served!!!

Hi, all. This is my first post on what looks like a really interesting site.
I have been collecting and shooting various military weapons, on and off, for nearly forty years. I have gotten a lot more serious about it in the last twenty or so.
I started out with Mausers and soon realized there were just too many of them so narowed it to carbines and short rifles. A couple of the favorites, among the ones I have, are a KAR 71 and a Peruvian Model of 1935.
I also collect S&W revolvers and other single shot military rifles.
Looking forward to being more involved in my hobbies now that I am retired. Been in the world of collecting WWII weapons for 20 years and enjoy collecting M-1 Carbines, M-3's, M-4's, 1911-A1's, M-1 Garand's, and 1903-A3's. Will be setting up a small display of M-1 Carbine's at the Alabama Gun Collector's Association March 26th and 27th in Birmingham, Alabama. Tommy Phillips and Jim Brandt will also be displaying some of their Carbines. This show will be the AGCA's Militaria show with plenty of things to see.
Collect to preserve,

Hello,
New member here. Have a 1943 M1 Carbine, 1898 Krag "Rifle/Carbine", and a 1920 Commercial DWM Alphabet Luger which I am doing research on. Inherited them from my Dad and now learning more about them.
Joined yesterday. Have an Enfield #5 "Jungle" Carbine purchased in 1964 as new surplus, fired it less than 100 rds since. Also an M1903 Springfield, a "low" numbered Rock Island that was given to me, likely not to be fired. Currently one month into my wait for a CMP Springfield Garand. U.S.A.F. 1966-70.
Hello everyone, Just checking in on the forum. Look forward to learning from you all.
Hi:
While I've been watching this forum for awhile, I've never posted before & found that I have to post a message in order to send a pm to other members. Well, here is my first post.
Although I haven't collected milsurps for about 30 years (my passion is now commercial Lee Speed sporters), I do have a Bonehill conversion Martini that I need to locate a few parts for.
Greetings from snow covered Ottawa, Ontario.
Have just registed to this site as I need to increase my technical knowledge on the 'toys' that I own.
Am soon to retire so can dedicate more time to my hobbies (once the kids are thru University), which are military vehicle restoration, WWII arms and uniforms, and of course target shooting - when in the military, I had the pleasure of neing and RSO and a SA coach, mind you the Howitzers were not something we laid down next to and spotted the shot.
Am looking forward to being a member.
Regards
