Hi, I am just joining this Forum but am not new to collecting. Mainly early revolvers but am now moving into early rifles. My latest being a Martini Henry Mk II.

Looking forward to learning more and enjoying the Craic.

Hi all. I love running down history on my older firearms, so I thought this would be a great community to be involved with. I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan with the Army, and have a battlefield pickup Lee-Enfield that I'm working on ID'ing as my current project.

If you're an Enfield guy/gal, I'm going to put all the detail in that room. Please check it out!

Hi, I'm a new member in Seattle. I collect some of the war rifles and am member of Wash. Arms Collector. I like shooting rocks in our local gravel pit. I recently bought a 1903 03-A3 Remington made in about 1944 and had trouble loading ammo. The rounds wouldn't go down in the magazine very smoothly. I looked and noticed there is an indent in the magazine on the left side that the follower hits when trying to load it. I can move the follower to the right and it will load okay. No problem on feeding. Then I went to remove the magazine and discovered an issue with the forward screw. When I turn it left to loosen it loosens for 90 degrees and then re-tightens and won't come out. What's with that. Your efforts replying are greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks,
I wanted to take a moment to say hello and look forward to this forum.
I have been collecting military firearms for over 30 years and specialize in Mosin Nagants. But then I also love 1903, 1903A3, Garanads, Mausers....well you folks understand I am sure.

Greetings. I've been interested in old firearms for quite some time. Been living here in NC for 11 years now. Certainly makes collecting a whole lot easier than up in NY, where I spent far too many years in frozen and oppressive misery.
