Good day to all,
joigning the board from France, I am a gun collector since I started ACW reenactment aged 15, which makes it 30 years too many for me to coinsider. I still have the same mental age though, and have moved slightly from black powder military guns (enfield 58 and spanish 1757) to cartridge rifles recently. I stumbled on this board searching for info on military rolling block and found out it is fully packed with excellent info and knowledgeable people.
Tnaks for letting me join you.

primary interests are in the M1 rifle, but most any militaria wind up in the collection.

Hi folks. I recently bought my first M1 Garand through the CMP. It's a SSA Special Grade (new barrel, new stock, re-parkerized - basically a brand new rifle) with a WWII serial number. I love it and can't wait to get out and shoot it but the weather has been sub-zero much of the time here lately in the People's Socialist Republic of Illinois. I'll get out soon, though.

I'm 64, a retired engineer, and a large format photographer. I'm getting back into shooting after some years. I also just purchased my first AR-15 (Colt LE6940).

I'm a NRA Life Member, and also a member of the Illinois State Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, The Second Amendment Foundation and The Heritage Foundation. I'm very active in doing whatever I can to protect the Second Amendment. In fact, I was doing that long before I even got back into shooting and I would do it even if I didn't own a firearm or shoot at all.

I'm sure I'll have some questions for the experts here.

At this point, I'm not a collector so, for my first M1, I wanted a nice shooter:

Here's my new prize.

Hi,

just registered as a new member as I've always had a great interest in anything old. Classic cars, classic motorcycles, old machinery and of course, old guns.
My main interest at present is Lee Enfield, particularly the No4 Mk1 T, as my dad used one in WWII, he was a sergeant sniper. He's 93 now and lives in BC Canada.
