Hi all,

New member here from Ottawa Canada. I recently bought my first milsurp rifle and now must expand my collection. Discovered these forums through a member of CGN (not trying to promote another group) who was advertising a gun sale and posted his email ending with milsurp.com. So here I am and I wish I had discovered these forums first since there is so much info on milsurps.

I am using joe.grey on CGN in case some of you need to check my feedback from past sales/purchases.

[old tanker]

I am a new member from Kentucky. I retired from the Army some years ago having spent my time as a tanker, and yes, it's the best job I ever had. I have a modest accumulation of castoffs from various armies and I enjoy the history. It is enjoyable and enlightening to use the tools of the trade, from friend and foe, alike.

Hello...new member here from Massachusetts. Got addicted to this hobby a couple years ago when I bought a "luck of the draw" M1 Garand from CMP. To date I've acquired two Garands, two M1 Carbines, including an M1A1, and a Remington 03A3. I enjoy shooting them all. I hope to participate and learn from this forum.

Hi folks,

Wayne Johnson here - some of you may recognize my "Goose52" user name from other boards. I'm the guy that wrote the book "The FN-49 - The Last Elegant Old-World Military Rifle" back in 2004.

I registered on this board back in 2007 but just realized that I had never posted in all that time - hence, the purpose of this post.

Cheers

Pogi from Oregon here. A long time AK guy that is branching out and picked up a M1 Carbine from CMP last year so I am doing some research on Inland and SEY mags. Thank you to all that have shared their info.

Hello all.
An old geezer here.
I know I will spend many hours reading and learning here...

But the MAIN reason I joined:

My father grew up during the depression, was in the Army Air Corps during WWII.
When he died a few years back I inherited A LOT OF STUFF.
Included: a fair amount of militaria.

So... I'm going to be posting in the "APPRAISALS, fakery, disputes... etc." forum
- one item at a time I guess
- seeking information, proper terminology, etc. for what I have
- AND appraisal VALUE, I hope, so I will know what to ask for various items

I have two goals:
1- I'm not looking to get rich off these items, but I would like to get "fair value" for them
2- equally important... to get these items into the hands of someone who will appreciate them

Thanks.

Happy to be here.

Hope it is a successful path for me to accomplish something.

Just a long time lurker here that finally made an account. I hope to learn plenty and continue the addiction of milsurp rifle collecting.

Greetings to the forum!
