Hello Guys:

I'm Campbaker An Old **** Of 71 Who Has Been Collecting For About
15 Years. I Have An Extensive Collection, That I Just Added A New(used) Adjustable Stock For My G-3 Rifle.

I Have Been At This For Some Years I Have Done Many Things , Much To My Regret, Just As I Started To Collect, I Was Injured Very Badly & The High Power Rifles Be They Bolt Or Semi, Send Me Into
Spasims Of Pain. Especially My .308 & 8mm Mauser.

But I Find Talking About My Treasures To Be A Lot Of Fun. Glad To Be Here.

new guy saying hi! i collect all c&r rifles amd related milita came across this forum while browsing the net tonight . nice place you guys have here!

Greetings gents. I was referred to this site by dek when he learned of my interest in McBrides "A Rifleman Went to War". Looks like a very nice place you've developed here. I'm a gunsmiths kid, a long time collector of milsurps , former USMC, currently nearing retirement from the New York State Police. I'm a Moderator at Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets! and run Stop Gun Control . I'm also a farmer, mechanic jack of all trades, father of 6 and my wife an I are expecting our first grandchild soon.

My most recent additions to my collection include a Krag cut down/Carbine (I'm still not sure which yet) and a Sedgley USMC marked 03 Springfield. I hope you'll all stop by my sites and find them as enjoyable as I find this one.

My husband accumulated a large number of military books of good quality. He has died and I would like to sell this wonderful collection. I live in Edmonton and have the books listed in a word document. My preference is to sell the entire lot. Several hundred hard and soft cover books covering many different aspects of the military- aircraft,tanks, ships, history,etc are included. Anyone interested can contact me for the particulars. They have a collective value of several thousand dollars that is negotiable.
Thank you

Hello Chaps

My name is Gary, and I am afflicted with milsurp rifle disease.
I have tried several cures, but I always seem to get the symptoms again.

I'm an avid collector of all things British, mainly becasue I am British, and have been living in the States for many years.

I'm a bit of a self proclaimed Bren Gun expert as I used to work on them in the before times. If you have questions about the semi's i can help you there too.

See you on the boards

Hi guy just got my first lee enfield yesterday :runaway:

Hello To All...
Seem to have developed a very keen interest in the First World War and am very proud of my Ancestry who played a significant role in the C.E.F.1914-1918
At this point I am very interested in locating a 1916 "Non Sporterized" Ross Rifle ..as close to the perfect example featured in Milsurps Feb. 2008.
My interests include all of W.W.1 but could probably be the most help with the 3rd Division and more specifically The 5th C.M.R's, and the 8th batallion.

Look forward to hearing from other subscribers and thanks in advance on any help with the Ross

i belived this forum and site will be very informative to a not so expert collector. thanks ed
