Hi, M1 shooter, collector, and GCA member for 14 years. Still have a lot to learn.
Hi folks, John Richardson checking in, usually I post under "Diamondtreo" - another sigh of relief for spam control. I have been hobby gunsmithing since the late 1970's after earning a degree in gunsmithing from Oregon Institute of Technology. Since then, I continued education & have worked at designing and manufacturing the toys our military flies (F-22 Raptor these days). I started collecting M1 Garands about 5 years ago & now count 10 in my safes - including my first goal, one from all 4 manufacturers. I have been fortunate enough to make one pilgramage to Port Clinton Ohio, to visit the Camp Perry North CMP facility. All of my rifles are shooters, although I have not tried M1 Garand competition yet - I shoot better with my 1903 Springfield. Six of my Garands have come from the CMP, one I pieced together from parts & the other three were private purchases.
I like the exchange of information that goes on in these forums & hope that all the guys on the Culver's page make the transaction. I sure have learned a lot from reading these postings! John
Just swam over with some of the other folks from CSP. Thanks for having us. I am 67, retired, happily married living in Idaho. Born in Xenia, Ohio, I know, where the hell is that ? Fours Navy, '60-'64. Like guns, knives, and metal detecting. Looking forward to a great sight.
There is no justice, there is just us !
Glad to be here and appreciate the opportunity. Got my first M-1 Carbine in 1959 and have loved them ever since.
Hello, been collecting carbines for close to 30 years now as well as other Military weapons. Retired from the US ARMY with over 20 years in ARMOR.
Hello all
I'm a new member,been a follower on CSP for a good while but now it is going away. Hope to gain some new friends an knowledge on this site.
Greetings all. I am a long time procurer and user of the detritus and debris of other peoples wars, to include Martini Henry, Ross, Carcano, Webley, Arisaka and Nambu in very sorry to very presentable condition. I have handloaded for all since the middle 1970's. I have been reading your wonderful threads for some time and thought it was time to contribute as well as learn.
Well, as seems to be the trend, another orphan from Culver's CSP site checking in. Looking forward to spam-free reading and new information about our beloved M1s and M14s!
