New Guy to Milsurps

[Roadkingtrax]

Hi Everyone,

Coming over here from the CMP boards. I am getting to my limit for the attitudes of some there and the buggy working forum.

Hope to see others I recognize, and still new people who enjoy Garands, 1903, Mausers and the like.

Looking for common interests, knowledge and fun conversations. (Sounds like a singles ad)

Welcome, I migrated this way awhile back. I completely understand what you mean. A few dominating, troll personalities seem to dominate that forum. The part I don't like is that if you don't agree with the CMP Elites, they attack you. Therefore, honest discussion and debate is stifled.

But to get back on topic, I like the broad spectrum of knowledge on this forum, I'm primarily a Garand and carbine fan, I have been interested in Carcano's and hope to one day get a 1903A3.. Again, welcome.

I enjoy the CMP forum, primarily because there are a lot of posts and a lot of interesting information being discussed, but I have to agree about the CMP elites. I don't know that calling them elites is really the right term though. CMP enthusiasts seems to me to be a better description. Most are good guys but they don't like to see any criticism of the CMP. There are a few who are obnoxious, but you will find that on any forum. The thing I don't like about the CMP forum is it's lack of dependability. I see it is down again tonight. This has been going on for a couple of years now and there does not seem to be any attempt to fix it. Obviously the forum is not high on the list of CMP priorities, and I can understand that since thier main interest is selling products and the forum is kind of an afterthought. I wish more of the people who are genuinely interested in the history, functioning, and accurizing of these WWII weapons would find this forum. It has been around a long time and is well run. I just wish it was a little busier with more active members. I am a little surprised that more people have not gravitated to this, and some of the other forums.
