Hello,

I am new to this site and came apon it while doing some research on a bayonet the I pick up the the other day. Hopeing to get some answer here about it's authenticity.

I have been collecting Lee Enfields/ Martini's and US WWI rifles for about the past 15 years now. I have about dozen or so Lee Enfields and bayonets and accessories.

Thanks,

Therno

Hello Collectors,
I have been collecting S.M.L.E. rifles and other later varients for the last 20 years. I just picked up my first Canadian Ross last week and came upon this site while doing research on it. I'm always hoping to learn more.

Hi I'm a new member. I found this site while looking on google to find what an WW2 german scope is worth. My Father passed away years ago, and now I'm trying to find out what some of his old military items that he collected are worth! I'm disabled and in a wheelchair so trying to go to a gun show is out of the question as the are always mobbed. So I am going to try and figure out how to post questions regarding what some of the items are worth. I will appreciate any and all the help I can get.
Thank You Herman

Greetings all!

New guy here.............OK, not really new, just haven't posted yet. I'm new to mil-surp collecting and shooting. I've been a hunter and target shooter since I bought my first pellet gun 43 years ago.

I'm from central BC in Canada.
So far my mil-surp firearms are 1 SKS, 2 Norinco M-14's, the required (in Canada) Lee-Enfield, and a prime example of a Spanish FR-7. I have a 1895 Spanish Cavalry carbine that Bubba got to. It's going to be the basis of a short truck gun for me.

I've found a lot of good info here and hope to be able to contribute in some small way.

I've had an account for some time but have not used the site due to other commitments. Shooting and collecting interests vary. Look forward to learning more. Cheers.

Hello to all!! I found milsurps while looking for information on what I believe to be a M1 Rock-ola stock. It was wrapped around an Inland receiver and barrel circa '44. I bought the rifle for my Father who set it in a synthetic stock (long arms and bad shoulders). I do not need the stock and was wondering who may be looking for one. 523 9110 stamped on stock as well as SG in a square, crossed cannons next to it, 5 3 E and Q-RMC in a rectangle in the sling well. (Rock-ola for Quality Hardware?). Not very pretty-has a good share of dings. I am looking forward to being "learned" by fellow collectors! Thanks much
