New member introductions thread ......

I am thankful to a good buddy of mine for introducing me to this site and forum. I am around 15 mos from retiring and plan to expand my collection of military rifles. The information that is consolidated here is the best I have seen.

I will be retiring to Bath, NC and will be looking for a gun club to join in that area.

My thanks to all of you who are military or retired military. It is always approriate to remember you who have served and even more so at this time of year. Independence Day is the remembrance of what started our great nation and you folks are who preserves it.

Just want to say howdy. I am new to this, I just bought a M.N. 91/30. It's been fun to shoot, and I can consistantly hit a 9"x9" square at 50 yds. I won't brag about how tight the groups are, though. But I can hit it pretty much every shot. (That's with iron sights and age-weakened eyes.) I look foreward to learning from the experience of this group.

Hi,
I represent a small manufacturing facility in Texas and we cater to a number of WWII type semi auto builds. Our latest project is of an American made FG42 and we are trying to get the word out and see what the interest is! Thanks again!

Hello everyone long time competition shooter and collector. Great site

[tmj00099]

Thought I would introduce myself since I haven't posted and have been here quite a while.
Thomas Jackson is my name, just started collecting last year. So far I have come across a nice 43 91/30mn one m-28 from SKY. The SKS is a russian 53, the best by far is my 43 Swiss k-31 short rifle. Hardly a ding in the walnut stock, still a great shooter. Think I got lucky since I picked it up for just $200 now ones in my condition go for 350 or better. Anyway glad to meet ev1.
