Morning, it's a beatiful day in Houston, Texas. Last weekend of duck season. Bought a Henry 22 magnum rifle but the sights were bad, not adjustable except by unnatural force. I put a nice scope on it and it is one of my favorite shooters. Did anybody else have a problem with sights on Henry's? Have a great weekend. W. Lee

Delighted to become a member! I got first interested in Mauser rifles growing up in Argentina where we had to qualify (High School program in 1962 ) on the 1909 Argentine Mauser zeroed at 300 meters!

My interest is Enfields and other British small arms. Grandfather served in 12th Bn Royal Fusiliers in '15 to 18 WW1 and a great uncle flew with Bomber Command from '42 to 45 and a cousin saw active service in the Royal Marines in the 1960s, dad and my uncle both did National Service in the 1950s.
I am a lawyer, living in Royal Tunbridge Wells in south-east England.

Hi Gang! I'm happy that I stumbled across this sight. I love old weapons and accessories that go with them. I have 8 WWll weapons and would enjoy learning more about them and see what else is out there. This looks like the place to be. Bill

I am a newbe for sure. Interesting site and I appreciate the fine work done by all for everyone's benefit. Thanks Claven2 for the good pics of your Berthier carbine. Based on those and some internet research I just identified my own Berthier / Orman forestry carbine as 1916, Chatellerault, M-16 also converted 1948 with "N" Balle marking. Luckily I still have a 5 round charger and a spare 3 round charger along with an assortment of ammo ( 1935 thru 48 ) including what may be the armor piercing machine gun rounds so sought after. I even have a small package of unopened 1939 rounds in the original paper with a string around it! Motivated by your's Claven2, I also took some pics of mine but I have to get around to posting them but haven't figured out how to yet. Mine is a beauty also and dear to my heart. A gun with some interesting history for sure. This is my only gun but if I could find some more good condition Manllicher Berthier's I would consider building a collection. Mine was courtesy of an old and now gone gunsmith friend of mine. The kids got all the old shotguns and usual normal stuff but I got the prize!
