New member introductions thread ......

Just took delivery of a Remington 1903A3 from CMP. Anxious to get some shooting in, but just as anxious to learn more about this great rifle. My dad cut his teeth on these rifles in the mid-30s as a fifteen year old National Guardsman, and carried one in France and Belgium.

This forum appears to be the right place to start to learn more.

There are a series of interesting markings and cartouches on the rifle's scant wood stock that i'd like to learn more about for starters.

Anyway, glad to be here.

Greetings all,

As a newly minted M1 owner I've just started on my quest to discover exactly what I picked up at a local gun show recently. As an avid .22LR and AR's shooter, milsurps are a bit of a new area for me.

Other interests include sailing (hence the forum handle) and photography.

Hi, new guy here.

Hi guys,

Long time CMP customer, former Navy Helo pilot, retired Federal Officer. 3 M1s and 3 M44s (one with scope). Looking to get back to the range. I just joined Appleseed, and look forward to getting to the range more often.

Looks like a very nice forum with a wealth of information. First let me say I am USAF Ret and collect Savage 99 rifles. Am an avid Bowhunter and just a smidge over 60 years old. Retired back in 1989 and did a little guiding after that. Now I am officially retired but still hunt year round for Hogs as well as my annual month long archery Elk hunt in Colorado. Tom.

hello, I'm new to this site and am looking for some advice. I am interested in purchase a deactivated No.1 mk.3 lee-enfield (1917) or an M91/30 Mosin nagant rifle, intendend for drill purposes, such as parades, and military affairs. I need any bolt/ semi auto action from ww1 or ww2 era, that is legal in Canada. So far i haven't found many sites that sell these to canadians, so i figured that one of you might be able to help me. thanks a lot guys :D

Hello,
I have just started collecting surplus guns. I just retired this year from the Navy after 23 years enjoying my retirement.

I am a long time shooter and gunsmith; grew up in my fathers gunshop and can't shake the bug. Thanks for letting me be involved in the community. Looking foreward to good times.

Greetings from NH....:

I have been a shooter most of my life and have been rebuilding Browning belt-feds for a number of years...1919A4, 1919A4E1 and an M37. Recently, I bought a nice Remington 03A3 that is a nice shooter. I plan to tweak, with the forums help, for a little competition shooting. On my wish list is a US model Krag, US model 1917 and of course the M1 Garand. With a fair amount of reading and many :confused: to ask......let the fun begin.

Great site

John

Hello,

I'm a new member. My interest/hobbies have changed over time from mil weapons to mil radios. I plan to sell or trade a few M1 carbine attachments to come up with cash for the mil radio hobby. This looks to be a good place to search for a fare market value of what I have for sale so buyer and seller are both happy. After all thats what hobbys are about.
Thanks to all on the site.
