Greetings All,

I've been at the collecting game for 50+ years now (started at 10). It is more of an accumulating hobby nowadays. I have diversified interests and found this site while searching for information on a project. After using it for awhile, I am impressed with the information available and believe it will be a useful tool. Greetings to all from New Mexico. My user name is my first name.

Greetings to everyone on the forum. I have been interested in various surplus rifles for a while. Have had quite a few Enfields, and a smattering of others. Currently getting interested in the Czech VZ-58, and wondering if anyone is currently selling the forged receivers.

Hi everyone,

Retired so now have some time to look on the computer. Lots of useful information that would be impossible to find in rural location.

Hi all

I'm an Englishman living in Texas. Still finding it somewhat bizarre that it's easier for me to own British service weapons here than it was in England, but I'm taking full advantage of that fact.

I found this site through google. It lead me to an 03a3 post by Badger.
I have a sporterized Smith Corona 03a3 with a weaver scope that has been in my family since 1951. My grandad passed it down to me for Christmas!
I am also in the process of purchasing an m1 carbine and possibly a garand.
I just love WWII history!

I am looking for a place to gather information and find out more about my current rifle.

Glad I found this site!
David
