New member introductions thread ......

Hello, I am Scott Collier, A US Army Combat Medic (ret) 91B40. My wife and battle buddy, lol, she was a 98C Intel rat in the Army. lol.

We both are firearm enthusiasts and starting to collect weapons from WWI thru now. I have a M2 Carbine that was my Fathers in WWII with a 4 digit serial number made for Inland and stamped with that plus the National Ordinance. Does anyone know were to go for records of this firearm? I would love to know more about it and others my father brought home from the war. I am his youngest and my two older brothers both have firearms that we would love to know more about. They are a precious air loom from him and will be passed down to my grand children. I am so happy I found this forum and look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you,

Scott "Doc" Collier

Hello from Tennessee.

Hello from California. I am retired i have been playing with surplus rifles for 15 years. Right now i am working on a Yugo 24/47 Mauser and a #4 mk1 Enfield. I enjoy reloading for Mosin Nagants, 1911, M95 Nagant and my Steyr M95 carbine. I have recently started casting my own bullets and have been loading them for my Moslin Nagant's and my SKS.

Thank you

I'm Kohavis from Colorado. I just arrived here and hope to learn here as well as offer help to others looking for answers.

I own an original WW2 US Army M1911A1 my dad carried as his sidearm as an officer in the European Theater. He also taught me how to shoot beginning at age 5 on the very same gun :cool:

(Dad was in the Army from 1941 - 1946 and participated in the landing at Normandy Beach on D-Day. He won the purple heart, bronze star, and numerous marksmanship medals. He was the best natural shot I've ever seen. The 1911 he carried has only the most minor holster wear.)
