Milsurp Interests Poll

[JW251]

Hi all,
I've had an interest in military history all my life. My grandfather and father both served in WW2 - one in the RAF and one in the Army so as a child among my playthings were bits of kit they brought back. For example, my paddling pool was an RAF survival dinghy filled with water! These days I collect antique rifles and edged weapons in the date range 1850-1890.

Great idea! The results are really interesting. Thank you for doing this!

I have a bunch of surplus guns in my collection. I’ve always had a problem with focus when it comes to collecting so I’ve got guns from over 20 different countries.
I’ve always liked Turkish rifles for some reason and have 40 or so in my collection.
I kind of like Enfields and have 21 of them.
When it comes to Mosins I really like M91’s and have around 10 of them. My 1916 Remington is my favorite.

The poll results show about equal interest - LE 62%, Mosin 55%, Mauser 73%, and US 63%, when you add the %. Indicates the number of firearms most produced, used and widespread, which are/were easily available in private hands. Only Mauser rifles seemed to have been made just about anywhere.
