Kia ora
Just bought a "Fulton Regulated" LE No 4 mark 1/2 in 0.303 .

My previous 0.303 was a typical Kiwi Cut-Down that was good for shooting a horse at 6 inches distance but not at all accurate. It had a M.O.A. of about 36inches.

Quite excited to enter a few local shoots here in Taranaki to see if i can hit the target.

This forum has excellent information and advice so thanks to all the previous contributors.

Looking forward to learning more
Cheers
TJCnz

Hi, new member. I am interested in having a Bren LMG parts kit made into a semi. I was given a name of a builder and was hoping someone has used his services or knows of his reputation before I send off my parts kit? His name is Jim Kelly out of New York.

Hello All, New member here from Oklahoma. Not a collector but I recently came into about 20 military rifles and pistols that have made me appreciate that others do collect them. I am mainly interested in researching what I actually have. A couple of what I have are:
* Steyr M.95M Cavalry rifle, all matching
* Spanish model 1943 short rifle, all matching with fascist stamp on stock
* 2 German K98, BNZ42 & BNZ44 larger stamp with bayonets and 1 sling
* 2 Russian Nagant M1895 pistols with ammo and original holsters and 1 belt
* Argentine Model 1879 Remington Rolling Block, .43 Spanish
* Argentine model 1891 Engineer Carbine, all matching but stock, made in Berlin
* Portuguese model M1886 in 5 round, 6 round & 8 round lengths, 1 bayonet.
* Shiloh New model 1863 in .54 cal. sn 1597 and a beautiful rifle.
Advise on where to start would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm Akai (not my real name, of course haha). I'm surprised I never joined these forums earlier but I love milsurp guns; I've got a beat-up 1943 Izhevsk Mosin M91/30 as well as a Series 1 Nagoya Arisaka Type 99 in wonderful condition. Hope to meet good people and learn and show more of these amazing pieces of history! I think I'll head on over to the individual sub-forums for my guns ;D

Glad to be here. A someone who has recently gotten into milsurps the last coupe of years, I look forward to learning more.

My current collection -

1915 Carcano per Truppe Speciali (trench art, poor headspace, no import marks)
1916 Carcano per Truppe Speciali (partially refinished stock, no import marks)
1917 Truppe Speciali Bayonet
1949 Enfield No. 4 Mk. 1 (no import marks)
1952 Russian SKS

One question, is there somewhere on the site that shows you have replies to comments you've made?

Hi,

I'm Paco, mostly active on most FN Herstal forums.
However, i do have an amount of WW2 weapons, Vietnam, and other conflicts.

I'm both in the army and in civilian life I know, complicated). I'm co founder-boardmember of the Belgian Gun Collectors Association. Belgische Vereniging Van Wapenverzamelaars - BVVW
I do weapon and munition testing for living and also teach kids war history in civilian school. (Yes, i take the weapons with me)

I write for a Dutch and a French gunmagazine. Currently writing a book on the FN FNC rifle.
It seems to take forever.
I 'll post some reference pics on Belgian weapons asap. If you are in need for detailed pics on FN weapons, please say so. Let's say it is easy to touch unmodified and original weapons to me.

Below, some weapons in my collection.

Awesome collection!

Hi everyone! From North Alabama here. I have spent most of my days lurking around the CMP boards with the same screen name. I am more of a collector than a shooter these days. My back and legs kinda prevent me from having a nice range day. I am in to any U.S Milsurp and really anything else related to WW1 &2. But my collection is kind of all over the place! Took long enough for me to sign up here! Have a blessed day, everyone!
