Hi All,
New member here and soon to be proud owner of a Swiss K-31 7.5 x 55 that I will be using to compete in Military Bolt Action Rifle competitions. Look forward to being a part of the forum.
Just a short introduction. Retired, living in southern Manitoba. Like long range rifle shooting, birdhunting and Labrador Retrievers. Been shooting for 50+ years. Military rifles, odd calibres, and classic sporting rifles and shotguns turn me on.
The caption on the picture was a quote from a friend of mine, after watching one of the Labs in action. It says "I can make it to the front gate in 3.2 seconds. Can you make it in 3.1?"
Hello everyone: I am a new member, have been collecting for about 25 years I also have a C&R 03 license and enjoy WWI & WWII pistols and rifles of all types.
Hey, just came over from CGN.
"Some folks call me Jim but you can just call me... Jim."
Not really a new member, just a retread. I mainly used this site for some research I was doing and didn't participate much. Time passed unnoticed and then I got this email response telling me I needed to check in so I did and here I am.
I have been 'collecting' milsurps for about 7 years though I had a couple longer than that and have been a gun 'accumulator' since I was a kid. I'm in my 50's now.
I'm a disabled veteran and financial limitations have reduced my collection to a very few. The physical limitations inhibit my shooting so these days I focus more on scholarly research.
My main focus is Yugo Mausers. I moderate a Yugo Mauser forum on another site and I have co authored a couple articles published in the Military Rifle Journal, one of which, TRZ.5 All Roads lead to Hadzici," I understand will be picked up by Canfield for his "The Gun Report." I have been informed it will be much edited so when it comes out, I would be glad to round it out or suggest you all refer to the article published in the MRJ. Other articles on Yugo Mausers are in the works. One on the M48B I understand will appear in a future edition of the MRJ and I am fortunate to be working with a well known author on a trilogy of articles describing Yugo Police weapons of the 20th century.
I am not blowing my own horn or advertising as, so far anyway, I don't get paid or receive other compensation for these submissions. I am just providing my bonafides which I understand to be the purpose of this forum. So if this new guys posts some info, you may have some idea what he may know.
Otherwise my collection may have some Mosins, an Enfield, and a few other assorted items. By odd chance I have never acquired a German Mauser and a bent in my personality prevent me from examining in detail weapons I don't own. Consequently I know practically nothing of this cornerstone of Mauser collecting.
Being disabled also gives me some time to sit at the computer and rattle on which I see I am doing here.
nuff said.
Jim
