Starting A New 'Collection'

[PrinzEugen]

Have you sold up Alan? Just a sad thing to see Enfield or any Milsurp owners selling up, you will be the 6th FAC holder I know who has packed in, in the last 4 months[/url]

Oddy enough BD - in my club the opposite seems to be happening - whereas even a few years ago most people weren't interested in milsurp shooting more and more people are joining, and those that do are frequently interested in former military firearms.

The last time I went down there were tons of recently joined people, and when shooting commenced there was a long line of wooden-clad rifles... Even a couple of years ago you'd be lucky to see one!

I think it must be down to the internet - ie people can see shooters on there discussing things in a normal manner and it's losing (to a degree) the 'it must never be mentioned in polite (any) company' status.

Also people are a lot more knowledgeable. Well, in most cases, they at least know something, which is a start. Sites like this clearly help in terms of spreading the word.
