I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm a recent college grad who's has a bad case of gun collectors syndrome . I started with a Soviet pistol and that quickly grew into four other firearms. I joined here to interact with other gun owners/collectors and hope to gain a little more knowledge in the process.

Greetings all. I am an amateur gun collector and nut from Wisconsin. I love old C&R guns, milsurps and milsurp sporters, and single-action revolvers.

I just recently joined the Swiss Forum and find it is really an informative resource. I also have a K-31 myself and am using it for cast bullet shooting. Now that I am getting more elderly and arthritic, I find shooting cast bullets doesn't tear me up so much as when younger and using military ammo

Merry Christmas,
Ed
