I tried to see if I could coax guests to post by requiring membership in the message board to read the forum material. Much of what is here goes back 20 years and shows the progression of milsurp collecting in a timeline that isn't easily found elsewhere on the internet. Some of the information her...

From how long ago? I got busy and didn't get anything milsurp for a bit, and recently for back in to of a little. New-to-me Steyr m95 that seems to have no import stamp, and I'm gearing up to start making ammo for it.

Hi Guys, I have Mauser parts that I'm trying to identify. 1. An ejector. I'm thinking 93/95. Why wouldn't it fit an 1891 Argentine, though? (That's cosmoline, not rust.) http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o560/Smith-Sights/parts/93%2095%20Mauser%20ejector.jpg 2. Floor plate. What model? 1909? http:...

Hello, Back in late 2012 a lot was happening. I was preparing for a marriage on Jan 1, 2013, and my computer went down around that time. Needing it for work, I did a rush job bringing it back up and didn't bother going through a lot of files, including bookmarks. Several got lost and I'm still redis...

Sometimes I really wonder about people...
