I found out about this site from Roger Wadham's book on accurizing Enfields. I am British, but live in France. I shoot Lee Enfields in competitions for military rifles. I have a No4 mk1/2 in original calibre and a couple of No8 mk1's.

Have been a member for a couple of years but inactive in posting. I live in the Edmonton area, and collect old Mossbergs ( WW 2 Trainers), have a few Lee Enfields, a few Ross Rifles, and other assorted rifles and pistols. I need to do this to get full access to the site. I see a few rifles in the for sale area that I am interested in.

Just bought my first military surplus rifle - CMP Garand. Trying to learn and looking forward to learning from the experienced shooters and collectors here.

Greeting and Salutations ! In the course of rebuilding another Carbine I came upon this site. I was a long time WWII re-enactor, (Airborne, long before this Band of Brothers craze !) and long time WWII buff. I was fortunate to have had a chance to fire and own most WWII weapons . I will try to give info based on things I've read and if possible will reference the books. It's hard to dazzle the guys at work since they are not into History. I think I will be understood here !

Just what I needed, another gun forum to spend my time on! A friend & fellow forum member (Gary D) referred me to the site, & I already recognize a few other old faces here as well. I've been shooting, collecting, & reloading for close to forty years, & am presently obsessed with shooting my Martini, Snider, & other (mostly British) vintage & antique rifles, muskets, & handguns. One of my latest acquisitions, & what led me here, is a nice complete Ross Mk.II*** rifle, so I'm hoping to learn more about it & some of the other firearms I have.

Hello there! I am new here and wanted to say hello! I am very much into the curio and relic type of thing, and also AK, Romak, Dragunov, those have always been my favorite types of weapons.

Any way, nice to meet all of you!

I have been lurking here since October, 2012. I now have a rehabbed long Lee mk I*. The Ross project is stalled as the guy that has a Mk III nosecap for me is a busy man & hasn't gotten into his shop to remove the foresight to free it.

What is interesting is that a pristine Marlin model 36 in .30-30 came my way, marked with Canadian military ("C" broad arrow) stamps and provenance to a PCMR member. Are there any members interested in the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers, volunteers on the West Coast of Canada during WW II?

G'day, my name is Ron and I live in Mildura in the state of Victoria, Australia. I am a retired plumber and grapevine pruner. I have been a militaria collector for the past 50 years and thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to continue to do so for a lot more years yet. I joined this Forum to learn more about militaria items and possibly acquire a few pieces I'm chasing. In my younger days I did a few years of car racing. Kept me poor but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Played Football, Cricket, Basketball, Rowing, Squash, Table tennis, Military Rifle/Pistol Club Shooting. Tried Tennis but the net was too high and surrounding fence was too low. Tried Golf but seemed to carry more stubbies than enough spares balls to cover the lost ones. Happily married to Maree with daughter Donna and son Rick. Well that's about the best of me. Thank you.

Regards Ron
