Bookman here. Just found this interesting site. I used to be heavy into the surplus business years ago, but have been engaged in other "activities" since. I'm just starting up a web based business, mostly books (military, hunting, weapons, etc...) but will be handling some OUT-OF-THE-ORDINARY type surplus and mil-spec items. I'm presently in the Middle East trying to drum up some unusual items. I attempt to add to my inventory as soon as new items become available. Anyone interested can check my website at Alpine Books- Military related books and survival gear.
Thanks, and I look forward to being a part of this community!

Good evening all from the UK.
I found this excellent site recently when searching for information on the L1A1.
I'm a member of the Lee Enfield Rifle Association, and have seen post from one forum member I know, Hi Peter.
I'm an ex-MOD cartographer, so I have a strong interest in maps, charts and navigation generally. I hope to be posting something about Prismatic Compasses on an existing thread, if I can figure out how to upload some pictures.
Good to know you,
Charlie

Hello to all readers. I'm a BC boy who had two uncles and my dad go through WW II. and make in back. They never said too much about it. I quite understand after doing much reading . Now, I acquired a somewhat sporterised 303 Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk 2 many years ago and have been poking around trying to correctly identify it and learn more about all the markings and history of it. There is a "T" mark om it, but does not look like it ever had a scope attached. I'm curious aboit that. I came across this site and dound it to be one of the better ones, good job !. More later.

Hello

I am a Milsurp collector who is mainly interested in US martial arms. I do dabble in many other country military arms with several examples of Finnish and British rifles. I do enjoy restoring many of the rifles as well as shooting them.

I have also spent a great deal of time in Civil War target shooting and hope to do more in the future.

Hello to everyone. I'm really just getting started in the collecting field. My collection Spans from a 1864 colt rifle to a Springfield M1A. So I hope get some info on what I have in my collection and hopefully be able to help you. Thanks

I just found your site and love it! I am new to surplus rifles and am soaking up info like a sponge. I have had a Mosin for about 10 years and hunt with it every year.
I just bought a Chinese SKS with a triangle mark I beleve is a 13. Can anyone help me figure out where it was manufactured? Serial # is in the 2,000,000. It also has a pinned barrel so I am thinking it was made somewhere around 1980. Any help would be great.
Thanks guys for the great site!
