New member introductions thread ......

[Gyro]

Good morning all,

With winter here and snow outside I will again be inside working on my small collection of firearms of which the Lee Enfield's seem to intrigue me more than most. Maybe it is the uniqueness of them, the long history, the vast markings that tell a story of each, etc.

Take care,

Gyro

hello, i am new to your community, but not to guns. i am trying to research a colt 1911 that my grandfather gave me. he carried it in WW1 as well as WW2. he was a commander in the navy seabee's and was in the south pacific in WW2. it seems to be all original, with no armory rebuild markings. i have his 1911, 2 or 3 clips and the holster. i believe the pistol was made in 1918 and it is a colt. the finish is mostly worn, and it has bakelite grips.

Greetings All,

Would like to introduce myself to you, for my first post on the forum. I've been a long-time member (when Jouster shut down years ago), but never posted before. Since Jouster stood back up, I spend most of my time there, but a friend who's also on here recommended that I check the board out. I'm impressed by the radio function already!

I've been an M1 collector for about 10 years, but accumulator may be a better description. I do some NRA high power and CMP vintage military shooting, but have never been able to make it to Camp Perry.

Looking forward to another good place to lurk, and perhaps contribute a little. Thanks again to the Milsurps Forum for picking up the slack from Jouster when it was sorely needed!

Awesome Site!!! Great items! Does anybody have any older Pre-ban or Post Vietnam M-1 type helmets?

Hey all. Former 2111 (USMC armorer) here and currently a med student. Born and raised in Sacramento, CA but moved to beautiful Missouri after I got out of the Marine Corps. Definitely not new to milsurps, just new to the forum.

Hello All,

I'm Jim Oliver. All I am trying to do right now is find out if there is any market for an original set of battle orders from the 82nd Infantry Division, World War I.

It is dated October 1918. My wife's grandfather served as a 2nd Lt in the 321st Machine Gun Battalion.

I seem to be getting batted all over the web in my quest for a simple answer.

Can anyone give me an answer?
