i am intested in sten guns and mausers

Hi,
All I can say is I'm interested a little bit in everything since I was 8 years old when I was given an 1875 Swiss Vetterli that I still have, from old western colts, smiths, winchester levers, winchester 97 riots to Spanish American War colt 1894 US army , WW1 1911's, lugers to british Jeffreys, Hollands, Lancasters. I have to include a number of fine hunting rifles. I try to pick up the leather and anything that enhances these weapons. I guess I just can't make up my mind about what the heck I like best.

My moniker is townmarshal which is my present employment. Have been shooting 52 of my 63 years, mostly rifle, including service years. Have recently had an M1917 restored and plan to use it a lot. Hope to have fun using this site.

I like to think that all military rifles are a bargain as they represent ruggedness, history, a certain simplicity and an aura of mystique as to who handled them, the action they might have participated in. Living in Northern Michigan has its advantages in that it is not too far to get to a place to shoot and no one complains about the noise. I have 140 acres with a small shooting range that I built and can reload as I shoot and try out the perfect load. My home is a few miles south of my getaway paradise.

I have quite a few gun dealers within short driving distances from my home and that really makes this area a paradise. One shop in particular is called Tony's Gun Shop located in our upper *****ula near the Soo (Sault Ste. Marie). It has an address of Dafter, Mi. These people are old fashioned knowledgeable gun people who like nother better than to wheel and deal and negotiate prices on used firearms. I have whiled away many a pleasant afternoon there always coming out with what I consider a bargain and they are happoy with what they got out of the deal. The bulk of their inventory is used firearms, reloading dies, scopes and slings.

I do all my own gunsmithing as I have picked up a couple of lathes and a couple of milling machines along with a welder and gas torches. The ultimate reward of many years of labor so my retirement is very busy creating and repairing my firearm bargains.
