Hello - I've been collecting for about six years. I have eight Mosin Nagants (two Russian M44's, a Russian M38, a Russian 91/30 sniper, two Finned M91's, and two Finn M39 Sako's), three Yugo Mausers (a M48, a M48A, and a M98/48), one RC German K98 (Semi-Kriegsmodel), one Turk M38 (reworked GEW 98), one Chech VZ24, four SKS's (a Chinese Norinco, an Albanian, a Yugo M59, and a Yugo M59/66), and one Romanian AK 47.
Just wanted to say hallo to all before I started to wander around. Just started into recreational shooting and milsurp collecting. Hopefully I will be able to expand my knowledge here.
Cheers

Welcome guys, hope you enjoy the site.:thup:
A big hello to everyone.
I'm a newbie to this forum and look forward to learning a lot more about military surplus weapons and accessories from all you contributors. My main interests at the moment are leaning towards the Swiss Afk55's and the K31's. I am on the hunt for a K31 as I reckon I'd have to sell the house to get a Afk55. I suppose I wouldn't need a house anyway as a divorce would probably quickly follow the purchase of an Afk55.:)
Hope to connect with some of you soon
All the best from 'Bonnie Scotland'

New member checking in. On another far less formal/structured forum under the same name and milsurpshooter.net as Marius4747.
I got into collecting milsurp after college, but was interested in it for years earlier, mostly helping a few people I knew research rifles they bought. Right now I've got a growing collection of 13 rifles, ranging from a dime-a-dozen Soviet m91/30 to a very nice m28 in a ski stock. No real emphasis yet (I'm trying to build the breadth of my collection and get representative pieces of the major arms), although I'm a major fan of Swiss and American arms in general.
I'm also currently enrolled in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a graduate student studying modern German history. (Milsurp. . . history nerd. . . notice a pattern here?) In fact, I'm typing this post while waiting at a gate for a flight out there for a history conference I'm attending.
I can read and speak German so I'm available if anyone has anything interesting to translate - like many grad students I have more time than sense and find even the most mundane paperwork interesting to translate.
Edit: I almost forgot. You people seem to be mostly Canadians, judging by the references to CDN and the provincial flags that were the default avatars. I'm an American and an Oregonian by birth. I feel for your less than stellar firearms laws, I really do, but I also deeply envy your relatively inexpensive SVT-40s.
Greetings all. I am also a CGNer with exactly two milsurps. My first was a No5 Mk1, the latest is No4 (something) that I saved from "Bubba." She's missing her bolt and 3/4 of her furniture but was spared the saw.
Look for me to be asking lots of questions about her identity and how to get her back looking as good as she did when she was young.

Welcome all, I've only been collecting milsurp a few years, Its more than just a hobbie, it's a way of thinking-SDH
Have been hanging out here for a while, but not posted. Into hunting and shooting, interested in Milsurps, but only own one Long Branch so far. This is a valuable resource board for milsurp collectors, hope to learn lots of good info.
Howdy Y'all,
I've been collecting, or rather "accumulating" guns for about 50 years, and just recently got around to looking at military surplus. So far I've acquired a CZ 52 and an SKS. I'm primarily interested in pistols and revolvers but I don't turn down anything that shoots. I'm here to learn.

Milsurps.com is a Canadian based site, though I do believe our server is in the US. As you noticed, most of our membership is Canadian, though we do have members from all over the world. As we grow, I'm sure our membership will become more diverse.
Did I mention I bought a Finn-marked SVT for $275?;)
