Hi, I'm new to the site but have been collecting milsurps for some years. I have 4 Mosin-Nagants, a K98, 2 Carcanos, a Steyr-Mannlicher carbine, a Swiss Vetterli, and a Norinco model 54-1. I also reload several calibers and own other guns as well.

I hope to share and learn here.

Hello all,

I've been an avid collector of post WW2 military surplus firearms. As it is, in my neck of the woods, getting quite difficult to find them (an heartfelt "up yours" to the European Union) I switched over to WW2 US firearms. So far I laid my hands on an M1928 A1, a Garand and an M1 Carbine.

Cheers

Tom

I found this site while trying to research my Parker-Hale Custom .303 which I've had since I was a teenager. It was my first hunting rifle. I got it on my 18th birthday in '76. It's still in mint condition in the safe.

Looking around a bit. Checking out the site...

Hello all,

I'm a FNG to this site. Just wondering if anyone knows who made the "original" C stocks for the 1903 A3. I'm aware of American Bowling and Billards, Keystone and Springfield, but does anyone know if Smith Corona made them? Northridge International Inc, claims they have NOS type 13's made by SC (?) that's a new one on me. They say there are no marks or stamps on them due to never being issued and I can see that being correct. Anyway, I want to upgrade from my "OG Utah arsenal redone" stamped scant, and I've heard good things about Northridge, but not sure about this one. Anyway, thanks for any info.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and have an interest in many old rifles. I'm not a collector so much as an accumulator. Very informative site.
