New member introductions thread ......

Hello all!

New here, lifelong firearm owner, and in the last few years starting acquiring a couple milsurps and look to learn a lot more.

Hey guys. Just got around to joining your forum. I’m from eastern NC, retired and am a lover of old martial Colts, Smiths and Webleys. Prior to my retirement I found out about the cool Krag but since have discovered the 1903 Springfield. I like to find sporters and rebuild them back into what they were, more or less. Here’s a 1940 reblued Winchester M12 rebuilt into a trenchgun that I did a few years ago. I’ve also done a busted stock, polychoke M12 into a riot gun and am currently putting a No1 Mk3 enfield sporter back right. Fun stuff.

HI

I am a new member. I was born into the firearms business as my parents owned AR Sales Co. Currently I am an armorer in the motion picture industry.

I live in San Antonio, Texas....since birth 77 years ago. Just bought an 1891 Cavalry Carbine because I like short, full stocked rifles. I hunt mule deer in west texas on a lease where we have a tradition of using iron sighted rifles (or pistols). Researching best way to use an aperture sight on this carbine. Have a bolt peep on a Mannlicher carbine 6.5 x 54and one on a Mauser 458 lott. With old eyes much easier to get a good sight picture. A guy in Montana makes a copy of the Rigby bolt peep but I will need a much longer cocking piece for the Cavalry Carbine.
Milsurp website very interesting and helpful.

Hello everyone. I have been collecting mil-surps for about 7 years now. For a while I was collecting from various countries but recently been concentrating with US bolt actions. Krags, 1903s, 1903-A3s, and 1917 Enfields, especially the 1903 Mark 1.

Actually, I have a question about the Springfield 1903 mark 1.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Greetings, All.

As a new member, it is with mixed emotion that I advise that I didn't heed the words of caution from Mr. Terrence Evans in his book "A Guide to the Lee Enfield Rifle .303 No 1 SMLE" wherein he advises, "If you have not already purchased a Lee Enfield rifle, then my advice to you is DON'T! These rifles should come with a health warning as they are highly addictive."

Yes, I've been bitten by the Enfield bug and yes...it's a STEEP learning curve!! I look forward to leveraging the seemingly vast knowledge and experience of MILSURP.COM members to help in broadening and deepening my understanding and awareness of these magnificent rifles and others that I'm privileged to shoot and enjoy.

thanks for the addition, will be looking here occasionally for Garand stuff I need or to trade.

New member. Also on CGN, I Have been collecting for 24 years.


Take care y’all

Hello..just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I am Gary Hadley and am pretty old for a young guy. I am over 70! I have collected a few older military firearms in my time and found the forum where it looks like I can ask a few questions or maybe answer a couple, also. I am looking forward to the future.

Hello everybody. I recently acquired a restored BSA Lee Enfield No 4 Mk 1, and this site cropped as a great resource. Happy to be here.

Best, Jon
