Morning, it's a beatiful day in Houston, Texas. Last weekend of duck season. Bought a Henry 22 magnum rifle but the sights were bad, not adjustable except by unnatural force. I put a nice scope on it and it is one of my favorite shooters. Did anybody else have a problem with sights on Henry's? Have a great weekend. W. Lee
Delighted to become a member! I got first interested in Mauser rifles growing up in Argentina where we had to qualify (High School program in 1962 ) on the 1909 Argentine Mauser zeroed at 300 meters!
My interest is Enfields and other British small arms. Grandfather served in 12th Bn Royal Fusiliers in '15 to 18 WW1 and a great uncle flew with Bomber Command from '42 to 45 and a cousin saw active service in the Royal Marines in the 1960s, dad and my uncle both did National Service in the 1950s.
I am a lawyer, living in Royal Tunbridge Wells in south-east England.
New to the site, but not to the hobby. Love to buy, sell & trade military items & firearms.
Like to shoot guns both new and old. Hope rub elbows with some of you soon.

Hi Gang! I'm happy that I stumbled across this sight. I love old weapons and accessories that go with them. I have 8 WWll weapons and would enjoy learning more about them and see what else is out there. This looks like the place to be. Bill
Hi All, New to the site, interested in WW2 and Vietnam Era weapons and items. Have a great day all.
I am a newbe for sure. Interesting site and I appreciate the fine work done by all for everyone's benefit. Thanks Claven2 for the good pics of your Berthier carbine. Based on those and some internet research I just identified my own Berthier / Orman forestry carbine as 1916, Chatellerault, M-16 also converted 1948 with "N" Balle marking. Luckily I still have a 5 round charger and a spare 3 round charger along with an assortment of ammo ( 1935 thru 48 ) including what may be the armor piercing machine gun rounds so sought after. ;) I even have a small package of unopened 1939 rounds in the original paper with a string around it! Motivated by your's Claven2, I also took some pics of mine but I have to get around to posting them but haven't figured out how to yet. Mine is a beauty also and dear to my heart. A gun with some interesting history for sure. This is my only gun but if I could find some more good condition Manllicher Berthier's I would consider building a collection. Mine was courtesy of an old and now gone gunsmith friend of mine. The kids got all the old shotguns and usual normal stuff but I got the prize!
Love milsurp weapons, own too many but still not enough.
New guy here!
