    Hey all, newbie on this forum. I wanted to take the time and put in my .02 cents on this poll. I have several M91/30's, one M91, one M24/47 mauser, and a couple Steyr M95 carbines. Not as many as some, but I have only been collecting for less than one year. Thanks for having me, I hope I can contribute.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I ticked Enfields. I live just down the road to the RSAF at Enfield Lock. Have D/A SMLE, No4 Longbranch, 2 Inglis Brens and 2X Stenguns. However my main interest is Bayonets.
    Enjoy the collecting and shooting, Lester

    Carcano Rifles

    I have noticed an increase in the number of Carcano available. I'd like to see a Carcano/Italianicon rifle forum, or at least an Other Foreign Rifle Forum like the Other Service Pistol Forum.

    Love MilSurps

    Hi All,

    I'm new to this site but I've been collecting for more than 6 years. Started out with a 1943 Lee Enfield Number 4 Mk 1* (Savage, U.S. Property). Next came Mosin Nagant's, Mauser's, Steyr's, K31icon, SKS, Ross and a Carcano. I have guns from 17 different country's involed in WW1 and WW2. I also collect hand guns from WW1 thru WW2 and early Smith and Wesson's. And I reload. I love the history, I love the workmanship that went into making them and most of all I love to shoot them.

    Thumbs up Swedes, Swiss, Lee Enfields and Mausers

At some point I'll likely focus more tightly on 3-4 countries, as long as that doesn't mean selling.
    I'm with you, Andy, but I would also throw in my Finn M-N and Frenchicon MAS36. The lack of a Swiss vote option (or did I miss it?) in the original poll seems to be a big gap.

    My "crept in" semi-autos include three M1icon Garands, a MAS49/56, Swede AG42B, and Swede/Egyptian Hakim.
    Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

    I added "Other" to me selection because most anything that catches my eye will do the trick.
    Astra 400, Star Modelo Super B, Nagant revolver, C96, Romy Tokarev clones etc. have all found a place here from time to time.
