FNG (Friendly New Guy) here,
I am by no means a professional collector or shooter but I try and learn a bit each day. I have a small C&R collection of mostly shooter grade rifles, a few modern firearms and a long list of each that I think I need. Always looking for advice or ideas and have exceptionally thick skin. My latest acquisition was today in the form of an 1871 Swiss Vetterli that needs some work.

I have been collecting for 20+ years and trying to find out some info on what I have. I just found this sight trying to find out some information on a Springfield 1903 Sporter I got from a good friend who passed away a year ago. I look forward to what I can learn form this sight. Thanks

Hello All,

Been reading this site for some time now and finally decided to register. I've been impressed with the quality of posts... you all know what I mean.

I fell in love with a sporterized No. 1 Mk. 3* Lee Enfield that I was given to me when my grandfather (who took a bullet in Belgium during WW II) passed away. Since that time I have suffered the sickness of all things Enfield and have collected a few 'originals' as time, budget, and my wife have allowed (she is a good woman... thus far she has TOLD me to buy a motorcycle and a few rifles... she's a keeper).

My most recent acquisition has been a No. 2 Mk 4* 22LR that is currently in the mail... I can't wait to get that package (I'm hoping to source the correct Cooey sight, hint, hint).

My current project is a Faz FTR'd (49) No. 4 Mk 1* restoration. I'm learning a bunch in the process.

I look forward to learning, sharing and being a member in this community.

Regards,

Drift

I have a 1903 Springfield built by Remington in 1943. I understand that there weren't enough Garands to issue to all infantrymen at the beginning of WWII, but why were they still manufacturing '03s so late in the war?

Hi everybody, I'm new to this sight and looking for some info on a 1915 bsa no1 mk3 that was given to my father as collateral for a loan 40 something years ago, needless to say the debt wasn't repaid. My dad had no need for a gun in the city so it was given to my uncle in northern Alberta who used it for many seasons of moose hunting. I recently asked if if he still had it and if he didn't use it if I could have it so now it is in my collection. I vaguely remember shooting it when I was about 8, my dad told me they had to prop me up against the barn so the recoil didn't knock me over. Anyway.. from lots of reading here it seems that this is where the experts are, if anybody can tell me more about this rifle and some of the markings it would be appreciated, I'm thinking of restoring it to military configuration.
