Hi all,

My names Ryan i'm a Scot originally from Glasgow now living just a smidgen across the border in Carlisle. My main hobby is 2nd World War living history and for the last 2 years have been trying to slowly build up a snipers display of sorts with my No.4 that I recently had converted to a No.4(T). I've found myself over the last couple years visiting this forum semi-regularly for popular topics on the No.4(T) to gather information and some knowledge and thought it was about time I created an account .

My wife and I own a very busy, full service, Gunsmith business in Jacksonville Florida with a focus on restorations. We are currently restoring a Krag 1898 with a new barrel, wood refinish, and bluing. We have 2 Savage 99's, Colt double barrel 12 ga, and a dozen others getting the same treatment. We are also collectors and we recently acquired a Steyr M98 8x56r that needs a barrel. That is how I got here. We have accumulated a lot of gun parts and stocks. While reading your post, I realize we might have stuff listed in wtb. It will take some time to get up to speed but I will make the effort to sort through my bins as questions arise. Feel free to message me with detailed descriptions. Mauser, Springfield 03, and Enfield parts are what we have the most of. Bolts triggers, bands, sights, etc.

I joined a while ago, but never got to posting. I’m originally from Canada and moved to the US 22 years ago. I became interested in military rifles from my Dad, I have some of his collection now. I’m partial to the LE, I have 5 No. 4 rifles and a C No. 7. Also, a two M1 rifles, 1903A4gery, Swedish Mauser Carbine.

I call myself more of a shooter than collector. I enjoy shooting in the CMP matches here in the US. I wished I had taken this up when I was younger.

Glad to be here, this forum is a wealth of knowledge. You probably won’t see many posts from me, it’s enough keeping up with two other forums I’m active on. But who knows...if you get talking Lee Enfields, I probably can’t help myself and will jump in.

Greetings,
I stopped here to review info on the Krag. I signed in as a way to show support for this forum. The free, respectful exchange of information is how we grow as individuals and as a culture. As a reveal of my character I reject using Icons and emoticons. Or perhaps I am just too old to indulge in such modes of expression.
