New member introductions thread ......

[Stephen25]

Hi guys.... Just want to introduce myself. My name is Steve and I am an addict. A firearms addict. I can't walk into a gun shop without wanting to buy something. It started with a .22 rifle for target. It then progressed to shotguns for Trap shooting (my real passion). I went in for the hard stuff and hand guns grabbed me. Now I've fallen into Milsurp. Mosin was my first and now I have a Swedish Mauser too. I think I need rehab.

I'm surprised I have never seen this forum before. I am real enjoying the Radio!

Howdy All,

I'm a new member and a lucky one. I managed to be buying "surplus" rifles when they were plentiful and cheap....and I knew enough to leave them alone and to keep them the way they arrived.

I was also lucky, I picked up stuff because I thought it was "neat"...and it turns out I was lucky (and it turns out have a poor memory for what I bought years ago.). It's nice to go into the "military stuff" safe and find I had 3 Mausers vs. the 1 I thought I had, or 4 SKS rifles when I remembered having 2. I wonder if the stuff breeds in there?

Anyway, an interesting looking forum, hope to find I was even luckier than I thought. Turns out one of my SMLEs was a 1922 "V" trials rifle. I just thought it was a nice rifle, nice to find out it was a rarity. Nice when that happens.

Hey guys I'm glad to be joining this forum. Looks like their is a lot of experienced folks here. I'm new to milsurp collecting. I started this hobby April 14th 2012, so if I seem stupid at times be easy on me! I have several questions already regarding a 1935 Peruvian mauser and a type 38 Arisaka if anyone can help. Thanks

Hi all.

I'm former Marine, living in SE Wisconsin. I'm a long time gun nut, with mostly new guns, and some mil-surp. Now that I have most of the modern stuff that I want, I'm now re-focusing on growing my mil-surp collection.
