New to the forum but not to firearms. I live in central PA, near the PSU main campus. I've been an FFL01 since 1989, started when I was in the USAF and shooting competitively. Once I retired, I opened my own gunsmithing business and got my SOT3 in 2015.

Wanted to learn more about the military firearms out there and have customers who have asked me questions that I couldn't answer so I joined here for the expertise of the forum members.

Hopefully I'll be able to add to the forum and I'll definitely ask questions when I need answers/opinions.

Glad to be here.

I paid 15.00 cdn. for my first Lee-Enfield 44 years ago. Just paid 874.00 plus tax and shipping for a Long Branch. I needed more information than was available to me at the time. Very happy to join and learn.

YZ, here. Been watching this forum for a bit and I really like what I see. Pretty impressed w/some of the knowledge I've witnessed.

Got a couple SMLE's and a Mosin. Made the mistake of selling a couple others over the years, and I'll NEVER make that mistake again. I shoot my more contemporary stuff quite a bit, but I always find myself falling back on my vintage bolt guns. I love the history behind these things. Looking forward to learning all I can in here.

As a new member to this site I would like to express a Thank You to all of you members who work to preserve military relics and firearms from extinction. As a retired cop on pension I very much would like to participate as best I can and hope to reach out to your experience and knowledge to help me on my journey.

Hi boys and girls.
This is my intro to this forum. I have viewed it quite often over time and thought it best to finally book on.
I am an avid collector of milsurps. I have racks of Enfields and a good variety of, well, other stuff. I am an x gun plumber with the Canadian army. I am old enough that I was trained on Lee Enfields. We had the LB "T"s and #7s still kicking around and even to this day the Northern Rangers still use #4s. I started restoring Enfields and just kept going on from there.
Hope to learn a lot here as I am old enough to know that I don't know as much now as I did when I was younger
