I signed up here a while back and I still haven't had the time to start pouring through the knowledge base. It's a little overwhelming, since my interests are not specific. I guess I will narrow my interests once something really catches my eye, but until then I will enjoy perusing all of it. I found this site through CGN, where my handle is the same. I really don't rack up many posts, but maybe that'll change when I find my niche...

Hello. After inheriting a heavily modified Enfield No1 Mk III, I just purchased an Enfield No4 Mk II, mummy wrapped and heavily encased in Cosmoline and marked as New. Looks like a labor of love.
I have been looking around and you guys have a great forum here.
I am looking forward to hanging around and will post photos (or links to them) as I clean it up. I like to plan first, so it may be a while before I actually get in action.
Greetings everyone.
I decided to sign up, in part because of the Canadian origins of this site. While I was born in Washington D.C., and still live within 50 miles of it, I am truly interested in the shooting sports community in Canada, as well as the USA of course. Some time ago, I used to entertain notions of visiting Canada to target shoot, and perhaps even hunt, in a foreign (to me) country that was still within automobile driving distance. Recent political developments (ie: within the last 10 years) seem to make that seem unlikely. But I can continue to hope, and pray.
Lee-Enfield rifles have always interested me. Recently, I have begn to collect and shoot straight pull M95 Steyr rifles. I will post my experiences on them after I have some more experience with cast bullets.
Take care all, and keep up the good work!

I just joined the forum. Benn shooting etc. since before Hunters Safety was required. Not that I'm old. Currently working on a 1938 Geman Mauser rebuild sporter (nor original) in 30 06.
Hi all, looked around for a Forum to join in 2009. Chose this one. Hope I made the right choice. I am an old IPSC shooter DVC #059. And my Wife sponsered me into the Maple Leaf Revolver Club 27 years ago for ISU. Became a Class A shooter in Canada and the USA (IPSC). Gave it all up about 15 years ago and sold off all my 58 handguns, rifles and full auto. Even had a Maxum 08 in my Rec. Room, what a conversation piece. Kept two old guys I bought in 1975, a 1969 Browning Auto 5 and a 1957 Marlin 39A. Just got back into firearms with my recent aquisition of a CZ858 and have a Russian SKS plus a SVT-40 on order. Arriving in the next few weeks. Looking for everything. Accessories, mil-surp ammo, Magazines etc. Like a 58 year old kid again. You ever regret selling something off? My Wife wants her Smith and Wesson Model 63 again, and I want my Colt 45 ACP. So I think we will be getting back into shooting, maybe not on the level we were at when we were young, but we are going to have a bit of fun now. Havce a PAL, but going to get the Restricted endorsement again. Talk to you all later.

My name is Tom Brown. The "Sgt" comes from being a (now retired) police sergeant. I'm in NE Ohio, USA.
Back in the late 50's, I remember racks of Enfields in hardware stores selling for $9.95 each. No5's were $15.95 and No4Mk1(T)'s were a whopping $39.95. Ah, for those days again! Try as I might, I could not get my Mom to let me buy one. When I reached adulthood, I took revenge on her by becoming an (minor) Enfield collector! I have No1's in all four calibers, a No1 grenade launcher, a No1 training cutaway, a couple No4's, a No5 and a No4Mk1(T).
While I do not re-enact myself (physical situation), I am a member of a Black Watch re-enactment group. I have done "living history" displays where the grenade launcher and sniper have engendered many questions.
Which one gets shot the most? My sweetheart, the No2 .22 conversion. What a fun rifle!

I'm a longtime collector who just found your forum. Hello to everyone.
Hello to all - I'm an active hunter and fisherman and have been shooting skeet and collecting modern arms for a long time. Recently I was introduced to military surplus and I may have been bitten by the bug. I joined this site to learn and begin collecting. As long as my wife doesn't find out, this will be a great experience.
Hello to all! Have enjoyed the use of this site, and now have jioned.

Hello,
my name is John.
I am a lover of old weapons (ww1 and ww2) and also equipment and materials on ww1 and ww2.
Hi New member have been collecting Commonwealth militaria for 25 odd years. I have 1944 No 4 T M47 will try and get some picture compare to the one on the site.
Hello Everyone
I've been collecting firearms for many years. I have many of the standard items; Enfields most models, Mauser,s from 1871's to Ker 98, Nagants etc., but working or expanding and completing. Things like cleaning rod for an Arasaka, bayonet for Lee SMLE, little things like that. I live 2 miles from a range and have one set up in my back yard so I shoot a lot of rounds in a year. Even with inexpensive mil surp ammunition it gets expensive after a while so about 15 years ago I started rolling my own, then casting lead and now have even started swaging some calibers of bullets. Seems the more one gets into this hobby the deeper it pulls. I have acumulated a little knowledge over the years which I'm always willing to share but am by no means an expert in the field. I look farward to getting to know all of you.
Hi there, Talquin from Canadian Gun Nutz
Hello All, thanks for letting me join, I am looking forward to the things that I can learn from the many experienced collectors here. I would say that I am more a shooter than a collector and just enjoy experiencing older guns in general.

Howdy.
I am new to this forum having just discovered it, but not new to military firearms and artifacts. I have been collecting (acccumulating), restoring, and using,military firearms since my first P-14 acquired somewhere around 1950. Since then I have filled the house with just about one example of all infantry small arms including a Vickers Mk I. (Sorry, the Vickers and Bren are deactivated :-))
Always interested in parts, pieces, manuals, literature, and other historical firearm info sources. Looking forward to using this site and hopefully contributing.
hello all, new to this forum but seems like a knowledgeable bunch. Glad to be aboard.
Mike
I Have a couple Milsurps and get a kick out of getting the old guns in working order again. I am a student so money Impedes my collecting. I'm a Member on CGN as Turkeyslayer1300.
Am a newbie to military surplus but am oldie to collecting.
I like military history and have items from a Roman sword (gladius) and helmets to M14, LE, Mosin Nagant, Garand, M1 30 cal., etc.
My nickname (not my choosing) came when 3 deer came out to me on the same run during the Fall hunt several years ago. Yes, all three with a pump shotgun. sorry peta.:surrender:

:thup: Hi the board,
been registered for a long time, but never got round to posting. Now that another board I have been on, even from before it was taken over by another name and then another, how the years pass by:-( Sadly this has been wasted by spam due to technology or rather lack of it. Not jumping ship just getting in before the rush. I see this is going to be a challenge getting used to working out how to post pics and so on, been trying since January:-))) So will start hopefully adding my interests & get info from the longer standing members here.
British rifles and carbines plus militaria in particular fifes and drums & bugles are the hobbies, now all dwindling, but have a few still needing retoration.& still enough wind to sound the cookhouse call. Never too old to learn about how to do it better & easier etc. Got to go, chow's on the table. Cheers Neil.
Hi, new member in Ohio, interested in Military Surplus firearms. I currently have an Enfield #4, MK 1, a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 and a Romanian WSSR-0
Consider myself a collector of opportunity. When a "rare opportunity" arises I tell the wife I couldn't resist. I have a couple of Enfields, A three some of Mausers, a couple of Mosin-Nagants and an SKS. Nice to be among kindred spirits.
I had a collection once upon a time and then went through the "D" word, needless to say I have started again and am enjoying the fellowship of fellow milsurp owners. I currently have a 1940 Mosin-Nagant (Tula), A Chinese T53, a 1970 Yugo SKS, and a 1918 BSA MkIII. :beerchug:
Hello, I'm new here and new to computers in general. But, I'm not new to firearms. I like to shoot hipower and small bore. Sometimes I shoot bulls eye. Old eyes have slowed me down but, I still enjoy it! Best regards, CALUSMC
Hi everyone from BC:madsmile:
New member. Enjoy the posts. I have several Enfields and a couple of Ross rifles.
hello...new member...very nice site..noble7 3 enfields no.1 mk3*lithgow.. no.4 mk1/3..longbranch.. no.5 mk.1 faz. swiss k-31..mg 91/30..steyr m95/34..
I am a new collector, after 40 yrs of looking, who has a Golden State Jungle Carbine with a missing screw for the L sight that GS used. It fired nice groupings at 200 yrs. I enjoyed that funny little gun for shooting and hunting in the brush.
If only Golden State used a common screw, I would still be using it.
Since retiring, I’ve acquired a Mitchell Mauser and Mosin M38. These are added to the 98K bcd 1943 Mauser with all matching numbers. I had this rifle since 1968. It cast $79.95.
Hi! everybody, I'm a new member, just bought my first Lee Enfield no 1 MKIII a few days ago, can't wait to receive it and try it, it's a full wood, all matching numbers. Might let you see some pics later....

I think [I] will like it here
Great site, new member and fairly new to milsurp collecting. Interested in Enfields as well as US martial arms.
Hello everyone. I collect semi-auto pistols and some semi-auto rifles. I appreciate the information I recieved about my Pedersen rifle.
Many thanks,

Hello all,
I am a 20 year vet and I like to collect old military weapons as well as the newest thing smokin. Looking forward to meeting you all.
first time user ,large interesting site ,looking for people interested in m1's as I AM
Hi all, Hope this site is as good as the last one.
I am a retired chemist/engineer and live in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley.
Interests include military firearms, horses, and hunting.
I do most of my own gunsmithing. Repair, restoration and shooting are more my speed than collecting museum quality firearms.
I like the new format. Hope the spam will cease. I have been following the posts on the 1903 Springfield for some time. I have been an avid shooter of Military rifles for some time. I am a practicing Gunsmith and Bench Rest Shooter.
:yikes: Hope this works, AZ ED trying new forum. Thanks, AZ ED out.Quote:

We were refered by the CSP Forum. I sure hope the rest of the gang will come on over.
Looking forward to continued conversations.

One other point, I'm over 60, a veteran and have reloaded for over 50 years! Being referred to as a junior member is an insult in my book!
I have been collecting since WWII and have a house full. Love carbines have a bunch and hundreds of parts that I hoard.
I haven't been on for a long time due to some electronic problems. Good to be back and hope to be around for a spell.

Well Lads,
I cmae over from the CSP. I do not consider myself a collector, more of a military histroian. I do enjoy shooting my firearms from the British Victorian era, and my US arms from the early 1900's through Pershing's little romp down into Mexico.

Hi all, glad to be here, have been a member of Jouster boards for some time, Life Member NRA since 1969, USArmy vet 1954-1956.
Hi guys
Whats going on?
I am a new member here, just registered. However, I have been a member of Culvers Shooting Page for over a dozen years. I am grateful to the Culvers for the many enjoyable years I have had on the CSP and looking foreward to many enjoyable years here. griffith
:beerchug:
I am new to this CSP forum, but, have been posting on the the old Jouster website for 7 years. My interests include collecting military long arms, especially the M1 Garand. Also, vintage Corvettes, advanced model making and drag racing.
Hi all, just made the jump from CSP. Thanks for helping the Culvers out.
I have been shooting and collecting since I was about 8. Interest lies in 1903s, Krags, Trapdoors, and Springfield 1922s as well as early smallbore target rifles.
I have always had an interest in the US Cavalry and have multiple McClellans. I was just recently offered the chance to play with a 10lb Parrot rifle by a friend. What a kick !
My other interest is Warbirds, I work with Collings Foundation-Houston aircraft. Was the Project Manager on our TA-4 Skyhawk and work with F-4 and UH-1E. Yes, they are all flyers !
Hello to all
Just switched over.Badger was a great help. Best wishes to the Culvers

Folks this is not me and sorry the children are out again. They are also posting under StockDoc. Shame and hopefully the admins will stop this quickly. Rick BQuote:

Howdy All!
My name is Doc and I am a refugee from Jouster.com and I hope this site can carry on with the same fervor of information and gun lore that I experienced on Jouster.com .
About me;
I retired four years past now and just turned sixty two years young last month. I enjoy guns, hunting, fishing, and camping which I do with my wife of 40 plus years and our Daughter and Son who bring along our five Grand Kids. We all live within seven miles of each other right here on the Front Range of the Great Colorado Rocky Mountains.
I am in the process of becoming a certified Gunsmith to which I find great enjoyment in so doing. My thirty seven years of machining and processing prototype products will help me achieve quality in building and repairing guns.
Wife, Kids Grandkids, Hunting and guns! Not necessarily in that order. (grin)
My Motto....Something good can be found in everything, it's all about how you perceive things.
I'm looking forward to learning from others and when possible, passing on knowledge and lore to same.
Regards,
Doc
CSP has been an old friend for a long time. I sincerely appreciate Gloria's and Dick's work on the original site that supports a family of shooters and historians.
I hope that in the future Gloria will be able to find a new home that mimics the style of the original CSP, because in my opinion, it is one of the best and easiest to use boards on the Internet. The colors and style of threads are very easy to use and to recognize new postings and how threads work.
My thanks to Milsurps.com for hosting the new CSP for the time being. Unfortunately, the Milsurps board is not to my taste as it has a relatively ugly and clunky interface and is not nearly as cheerful as CSP.
Let hope the future brings more joy. :cheers:

Glad to still have a place to go. Thanks for having us...
Gee, this is going to take some getting used to. Us old guys aren't as quick as we used to be. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends at this new address.
Fresh from the "CSP"
So glad the loyal remnant of the CSP community has found a new home!
Hi, I'm new. Kinda got me off guard, looking for a quick CSP fix don't ya know. But it looks interesting...
I was a forum member of CSP for 4 years and I look forward to this shift. I have the "bug" bad and I need my daily fixes for it!Quote:

Not really new to the forum. It is one of several I read. Today I am transferring from the CSP forum. I am happily retired from law enforcement and have a lot of interest in Milsurp type firearms. Over the years have had many great guns but finances being what they are many were traded for different ones. I still have several M1 Carbines, M1 Rifles, British 303's and at least one Yugo, Carcano, Jap, Swede, AR, several shotguns (never very interested) bunch of pistols Colt and Smith & Wesson. Like .22 Target rifles and I have a couple of 03's converted to sporters by not Bubba but by name gunsmiths.
Been collecting for a while. I have a K-31 1943, 1939 K98, 1945 M1 Garand SA, two Inland 1943 M1 Carbine, and last but never least SC 1903A3 original 1943.
I shoot all of them, as I have no safe queens. The K98, and 1903A3 compete for the most accurate. I probably need to work ith the K-31 more.
