My interests are in all guns from antique blackpowder all the way to modern guns.

So far i've only touched the surplus military guns and some modern guns. I will expand my interests a little at a time. CZY

Hi All

Enfield are my interest- The SMLE and Lee Speed variants particularly.

Also interested in military scopes since the 1914/18 war to the Scout Regiment ones.

The site has been particularly helpful and the knowledge Peter Laidlaw shares so freely in the Forums relative to my particular interests has been absolutely fantastic.

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Very interesting poll. As many have stated I will purchase any Milsurp if the price is right. I do not buy for resale. There is somthing special about holding / shooting a piece of history. I am a bit surprised at the low score for the Finns as they have a very diverse and interesting history.

My favorite rifles are USGI milsurp rifles, but I also enjoy Japanese rifles quite a bit.

My first milsurp is a CETME, butchered, er made legal for US by Century. That was three years ago. This past December, I picked up an SMLE. That's when the bug really bit me. This month, I picked up a CZ54/91 and a Vene FN-49. I'm currently looking for a VZ54/57 and a 1917 Enfield Rifle. Yes, I'm a shooter. I currently compete in 3-Gun and IDPA, and I want to use the 1917 for CMP matches, and the two VZs in vintage sniper matches.

I do have an affinity to Cold War guns. I'd love to run a 3-Gun match with a Lux FN-49, a 1911, and a vintage Ithaca shotgun.

I really like Swiss firearms and would really like to see a discussion forum on Swiss firearms.

Strange results, Down in this area there is a huge Jap following. I don't share this, I'm somewhat of a less forgiving nature. SDH

A Great Man once told me of his life on board CV-6, USS Enterprise in WWII. "He was also the less forgiving kind". I understood why after the things he told me, I understood more when read all of the info here: USS Enterprise CV-6
That's not predjudice, Herman said, thats part of the price for freedom. He could look a hole right through you when he said it. No doubt it was true.
