G-Day,new member the Koala from OZ.
Liked the site,just had to get on board.Background as fitter/armourer,
weapons officer since 1968,ex OZ army.Qualified on handgun,rifle,MG,
light and medium artillery. Heavily involved in local historical arms
manufacturing,collecting,research.
Prefer to concentrate on 1944 and later Lee Enfields,either new/unissued
or trial weapons,Lithgow tooling,hoarding of new/unused spares,stocks.
Have a brother just as dedicated,but he is fixed on early Boer War and Queensland Police issued Martini Henry,LEE Metford,Lee Enfield,Snider
rifles and revolver/pistols from 1940 and earlier back to the 1860's.
Looking forward to meeting many new fellow enthusiasts.

Went to a local gunshow and fell for a #5MK1...Yikes...Need a bigger Cabinet now!!!

Glad to be aboard!

new milsurp member - same id under various other sites, including cgn. Interested in finding out more about Lee Enfields before I lay out the cash for one. Also interested in other Milsurp like garands/ ross etc..

:wave:Hey guys, my name's Bryce, I'm 22 and I bought my first rifle Aug 2007, a Lee Enfield No 1 MK III (crudely sporterized but Im getting the parts together).
I'm glad I stumbled upon this site as it has a lot of great information I'll surely need when I expand my collection

I just joined. My Milsurps consist of:
1- Australian 1942 dated No.1 Mk111*all original and no import marks and an Australian P07 bayonet.
2-Sako Mdl 39 dated 1943,all matching
3-Russian Mdl 91 dated 1896 with Finn markings.
4-Russian Mdl 1891/59 dated 1943
5-Swede Mdl 38 short rifle dated 1942.

That's the extent of my collection for now.I'm hoping to learn a lot from this forum.

hi, Im a new member. I enjoy collecting old guns and shooting them..I hunt,fish,and spend time in the woods. My ability on the computer is limited.

Thanks Bob

Hi all I'm a new member and I was hoping to get some info on my Parker-Hale No 4 MK2 (F) dated 9/52 I recently acquired.

Hello all I am rectecranger, I am a new member introducing my self. a little about me: I am still in the military and having said that i go on Extended Vacations quite regularly, so if I dropp off the radar for a bit you can understand why. Ive been in for over 20 years so far. I also am a avid scuba diver, and military Modeler.

New member, long association with mil surp but more interested in the history and engineering than the rifles themselves.

Looks to be a site packed with information. Thanks for all the research and time put in to supply quality information to the seeker.

I'm not much of a joiner for anything so this is a big leap. Anyway, I bought my first .22 (Couey 600 )way back in 1966, ( I was 11) from a school friend for $25.00 , paper route money. I' ve been hooked on guns ever since, remember mausers in the barrel at Crown surplus, Calgary. Anyway, I'm a bit of a tinkerer
for most things involving human technology, believe we will see TEOTWAWKI before the end of my lifetime. Have studied Forestry, Ethnobotany,wilderness survival, wilderness medicine bla bla bla. I am quite a Hermit, yet would like to talk to the bigger world to clear up some of my insular misconceptions which I have developed through my long standing self imposed exile from humanity.
Thanks.
Regards,
Doug
