Hi,

I'm new to your forum but not to shooting and I'm really happy I found this wealth of knowledge.

I'm also looking for a place to shoot in the Kitchener area without paying $300 a year for a membership, please let me know if you have any thoughts.

Thanks,

Mike.

Well I guess this is my Hello.

In a nut shell I am a M1 Carbine and M1 Grand owner. As well as a Star Model B (from the 1936 German Military purchase contract) And I'm looking to improve my knowledge of my M1's

When I figure out how to ask I'll have some questions about replacing the stock on my Carbine which has been messed up by a previous owner.

I have had a VERY long association with the M1 Carbine in fact my Freshman speech in High School was how to field strip and clean and M1 Carbine. Boy have times changed since 1973 when dad made a phone call to the VP and got me permission to bring the carbine (in a soft case) on the bus and to keep it in my hall locker until it was needed for the class. As I remember no one even checked on it. I think I told the bus driver it had been OKed.

I got an A LOL

Anyway my other hobbies are collecting Music (LP's CD's R2R tapes and Cassettes) Vintage Stereo Gear (mostly from the 70's) Photography and camera collecting, And control line model airplanes. Oh and restoring my 48 Willys Jeep and this stupid house.

Married 27 years father of a son who is a USN Electronics tech, step dad to a Daughter who was USN corpsman for 8 years but is now mommy to two beautiful daughters. So I'm grandpa.

I drive a 105,500GVW Kenworth T-800 "Pioneer" Dump truck and pup trailer for a paving and site development co. We build and repair roads from Forest service to Interstate freeways. And do everything from huge site jobs like car dealerships and distribution centers to subdivisions. And peoples driveways.

I've done a little 2nd Amendment lobbying and had a small part in Oregon's 1989 Firearms control act which unified the states concealed carry laws and made it possible for law abiding people to carry concealed.

Hunting and fishing since I was a kid.

For a while the wife and I were real big into Blackpowder Rendevous and muzzleloaders.

I guess I best shut up now before I have to buy all of you a beer.

hope to add to the discussion when I can.

An old man NEWBIE checking in. I am looking forward to learning a lot from the other collectors here. With the passing of this last Memorial Day, and my discovery of information about my "NAMESAKE" uncle(check out link below), I am ready to add a historical gun to my collection. I decided on going the "M1" route. I used the Garand when I was in the NAVY to shoot garbage bags from the fantail of the ship, I have never shot the Carbine before. My reason for wanting a Carbine is the historical tie to my uncle(see second link).
My purpose for getting this rifle is strictly punching holes in paper up to 100yds away. Maybe an occasional "ZOMBIE" hunt.
Please let me know what your opinions are and any thing I should be on the look-out for (good/bad) while shopping for my new addition.
Thanks in advance for your information. My posting id in the provided links is; fn111557.
