Hi, I'm new here. Having recently purchased an M1 Garand (finally) I've found this site helpful in many ways. A former Marine, I've alway had a love and respect for the battle rifles and look forward to learning from others along the way. Thanks

I found this site searching for information on old military rifles. I had no idea what some of the ones I had actually were and this site answered almost all my questions! I've been interested in guns all my life and love to go shooting anytime I can though here in Texas it has been horribly hot which keeps the shooting to morning hours where I have to deal with the sun directly in our eyes... but still anytime at the range is a good time! I got my FFL in 1993 but had to give it up when I began work as an nuclear independent contractor in 2003. Being the lone ranger with his gun interests in this house, I just couldn't keep the license any longer. I have all my reference material, retained my gunsmithing tools, and am beginning to get back into full swing with it again. We'll see where it goes this time!

I like to keep things original and am looking for a variety of things that are missing from my collection: slings, stripper clips, magazines etc. I have a few oddities that I hope the members of this site can help me with too.

And yes, I would certainly make any sales available to site members before taking it public!

I had started a newsletter when I was running MOAA Sports Club and found that chatting and emailing gun stuff was a favorite pass time.

Lets talk some guns here!

Hello to Everyone

I am interested in various vintage military ammo, mostly AP.
Hope to gather more info and knowledge here on this forum.

Greetings

I recently acquired a Lee Enfield No 4 MK II made in Fazackerley, Liverpool in 1955. The rifle was in pristine unused condition. All of the serial numbers matched including the bayonet and the beech wood is entirely unmarked. I have since put 20 rounds through it at the range and have been amazed at its formidable accuracy, (nothing to do with me.) I paid $250 for it, is that good or bad? Unfortunately, I am now hooked!!

Found this site while searching for some information on ammunition for my M1 Garand. This really looks like an interesting site. Glad to be here.

Hello to all Forum members. At last I have found the time in my life to pursue what has been a passion of mine for many years. Lee Enfields. I've just recently acquired a 1914 BSA SthLE Mk.111. What I know is going to be only the first of many Enfields to come. In my search for information on Enfields I discovered this Forum. So I thought I better introduce myself. I'm a Shooting, Deer Hunting, Motorcycle riding middle aged Aussie bloke. I'm blown away by the amount of information on this site, and i can see that I'll be spending a lot of time here. Regards to all.

Hi , just wanted to introduce myself. I'm an old pharmacist (say real close to retirement age!) I've had my C&R for several years now (and several credit card extensions!). Hope to learn a lot from you folks because your never too old to do that. Thanks.
