Hello everyone new to this forum, but I hope to get an appraisal on a sniper scope

Hi, my name is pricedo & I'm a gunoholic.

My claims to fame are a Polish State Arsenal, Mosin-Nagant 7.62 x 54mm bought new & unfired with folding bayonette attached & a Smith & Wesson 45 Hand Ejector Model 1917 revolver that shoots .45 ACP (with half moon clips) or .45 Rimmed. The revolver still shoots like a dream & was bought from an old lady who found it while cleaning out her attic for $20. She was going to turn it in to the police.

Well hi all! Been floating around for awhile on various forums, but have been collecting surplus military arms since I picked up a 1873 (mfg 1877) Springfield Trapdoor round about thirty five years ago. Besides the pre-1899 stuff, the current inventory has a few k98 Mausers(pre WWII, early war, late war), five or six Mosins in 91/30, M44, and M39, a couple of Arisaka's (mid war and last ditch), a couple of Enfield's MkIII#1 and a MkIV, along with the regular US firearms from WWI thru WWII (M1a Carbine, M1, 1903). I guess there are probably about a hundred total of all rifles including a bunch of old time levers and muzzle stuffers.

Here are a few:

G'Day All!

Great looking site you have here.

For those that haven't been unfortunate enough to have met me, I'm another ratbag Aussie that collects Lee Enfields and in particular, Lithgows.

Been lurking around the fringes for a while and thought I'd better do the right thing and sign up.

Now to see if I can post a pic.

Good morning,
I am a new member. My intresets are in US battle rifles. I currently own an M1 Garand (w/bayonet), a 1917 Enfield (with bayonet), a P14 Enfield(looking for bayonet), an Enfiled Mk4 (looking for bayonet) and a WWII K98 (with bayonet).
I am also interested in original tools for the above, especially bore reflectors for the Garand.
Thank you!!
Steve

I've just purchased my 1st old timer....a Lee-Enfield Pattern 14 .22LR trainer.

I can'nt wait for delivery and a chance to get it out to the range. I live in Northeastern Ontario in the New Liskeard area and got into shooting through my 15 year old son who is an avide Marsman with Cadets and has infected me with the bug as well. Put that together with a love of Military History and its a good thing my Mrs is understanding and supportive !

Hello,
I'm a new member with no experience in this milsurp collecting game and what a game it is. I'm in my mid 40's with no firearms background and I've learned real quickly that if you don't do your homework you may not get what you think your getting.
looking forward to getting some good advise!

Hi Guys,
I've been a collector and shooter since frontal attacks went out of fashion. Started off with army service with the SMLE MK III, then got into competitive rifle shooting in 1957. From then, been right through the .303 era, including 7.62. Nowadays I like to shoot my 303 1915 Enfield (Lithgow rebuild 1950) for fun, together with my 1896 Boer War Krag-Jorgensen rifle in 6.5x55. Got a great collection of every pattern 577/450 Martini-Henry service rifle issued from the 1869 trials rifle through to the Enfield-Martini 402, and I shoot 'em all. I believe in the philosophy that if it was made to shoot, then shoot it (with care of course) !
Now please don't take the above as.."Gee, look what I've got "...It's having been in the right place at the right time over a 50 year period. So if I can be of help to anyone looking for loads, etc on the above, just ask.
