Small arms and weapons history
Hi,
I'm a guide at the AWM here in Canberra.
I will be asking for info about history of weapons.
TIA
Joined seeking knowledge on various guns in my collection
Afternoon gents,
I happened to come across the forum while trying to figure out the few milsurps I have in my collection and let me say, you have quite the collection of information! I'm looking forward to learning more about what I have and what I might purchase in the future. Right now I'm focused on this 1903a3 that my grandfather has given me, hopefully I can get some answers through the experts on here!
Thanks,
Kyle

I'm new to vintage military rifles, but not to firearms in general. I recently purchased a M38 Swedish Mauser in 6.5X55(1942), and am using it in area vintage military rifle matches. I'm loading my own rounds, and placed third in a local match yesterday(ten rounds at 100 & 200 yards.)
