New member introductions thread ......

Hi all, another CGN member

[Dupond de France]

Hi everybody. I join this forum with great pleasure to share my own experience and to learn from others ( certainly the most important ). I am a long time target shooter, mainly with Mauser's rifles BUT a few years ago I came by a 1917 BSA SMLE and now I am completely addicted to British rifles. Few weeks ago I bought a 1942 Long Branch N°4 mk1* in pretty good shape, with brand new barrel and was like a kid with Christmas present. Unfortunately this rifle have an hidden issue and I am a bit disappointed . Hope to cure the problem.
Also hope you will forgive my poor English ..........
Fred

Hi everybody, My name is Jason and I'm a gunaholic.
I caught the milsurp bug in high school with first a Mosin, then a Mauser, and a dozen or so rifles later, here we are.
I found this forum while looking for info on an oddly marked smle I recently picked up, and so far I like what I see.

Hello from NW Miss. ...50yrs. shooting M1 carbines, Garands & M14's

[masterPsmith]

Just thought I'd jump in an introduce myself. I'm Jim, am almost 62, retired LEO and semi retired gunsmith of over 45 years. Still love gunsmithing, re-loading, shooting, off roading and hunting when I can. I also love shooting my M1 Rifle and M1 Carbine, probably more than anything else I have. I have years of experience smithing the M1 Rifle, M1A Rifle and of course the M1 Carbine. I am hoping to contribute what I can, when I can. There are probably a few of you out there that know me from a few other forums. I always use the same user name.

Hi Ya'll, glad to be here!

I live in Georgia and have been an avid hunter all my life.

Just getting into the milsurp arena. Got my first SKS yesterday along with a rifle that I can't identify (got these at an estate sale cheap I attached a couple photos below (I think I did this right)
If you can help me identify this rifle I would be very grateful. Basically it's a semi-auto, box-fed (no mag came with gun) rifle with only a few numbers on the receiver and the butt stock. The action is funky - you slide the triangular shaped receiver cover forward and them back to drop the bolt...

Anyway, looking forward to learning from all of you and having fun.

Been collecting a few other milsurps but just recently picked up my first LE, a '52 No4, MkII, in darn nice condition.
