ALL NEW MEMBERS POST HERE PLEASE!

I shoot mostly bolt action military surplus rifles for hunting and for fun. As a matter of fact I seen on another forum that a fellow shot and killed an elk with a Swiss K31.

I do own a Savage Mark II-BV that I use for my small game and a Mossberg 12 GA. for turkeys. I also have a Taurus Raging Bull Model 444 .44 Mag. revolver that I carry as a backup (ever see a charging squirrel). The rest of my guns are bolt action military surplus rifles.

1- Savage made #4 MK1*

1- BSA made #4 MK1

1- Scmidt Ruben K31

2- FN made Israeli K98's in 7.62 NATO

And a sporterized Remington made M1917 that I am working on and a very very messed up (cut barrel, cut stock, bad and out of aligned sights)  #4MK1 I call my uglee Enfield that I will be turning into a beautiful hunting rifle.

And I am working on building a Isaac Haines flintlock in .54 caliber.

I work at a Honda/Yamaha dealership as a mechanic. I rent a space at a different shop to work on H-D's, BSA's, Kawasaki's etc... I hunt, excavate, prepare and sell fossils. I also tan hides (brain tan only).  

And I am a follower of Jesus of Nazareth. Married to a wonderful and beautiful woman. I have a equally beautiful (will be 2 this Nov. 16th) daughter and another child coming in March.

I spent 11 years in the U.S. Army as an Infantry Scout.

I'm just a regular guy.

White Rhino, I got the Israeli K98's from a friend. I'm not real attached to them yet but I do dig the history of them for sure. How did the critter feeding (hay) go?

allan, CR500!! no thanks, not for me, I want to live. That bike is way more burly than me. But I don't mind tooting around on a Yamaha TT500. Which is still more bike than I can use or handle but they are fun to ride.

 

Cookie Monster, Not sure why but I even like the VTX1300 over its 1800 big brother. I've got no problems with Harleys, I've owned them so I know what you mean. I prefer Kawi Z-1's, KZ900's, KZ1000's, Hon. SOHC 750's, and most 650 BSA's and Triumphs.  

 

Dukeoflawnchair, My BSA Enfield is a 1943 #4 MK1 and my 1917 is the U.S. Model 1917, that I think is sometimes called a P17 or a U.S. Enfield. As a matter of fact I was down at the local gun shop today and he just got in a nicely sporterized Eddystone made M1917. Might have to buy that one, we'll see.  

I found a Spanish Gaurdia at a flee market in Richmond hill GA.  for $60.00

my first old Rifle and then went back and found a Savage model 220A 20 gauge crack barrel hammerless. My First Mauser was a Turkish 38 rebarrel

and then a Yugo and a Bosnian, then i orded three rifles from Ammunitionstore they had a problem with my order being filled, seems they did not have on hand what i orded and i had to wait then when every thing was in order my shipment arrived and instead of the Enfield they sent me an SKS. well I called and after all the talking they said look we have only one left but it doesnt have a Magazine. would you take it if we take $30.00 off the price? i said yes! ofcoures and i ended up with a SMLE III with yellow paint on the muzzel end and shoots like a dream, then i came down with the Enfield Fever! while waiting on it i picked up a No# 4 MK1 at my local gun shop(Houma Auto Parts) and then a 3 fer deal which turned out great, supposed to have cracked stocks only one had a bad crack. and now i'm in love with the Enfield its my favorite but i collect any and all Millsurp rifles and Pistoles got 3  Russian Nagant Pistoles and 2

C Z 52s 1 in 7.62x25 and one in 9mm a C Z 50 in .32 My step Dads old 38 special S&W Police Special, and a 38 spec. Derringer from the step Dad  and various other Rifles. also got some Romanian Pellet Rifles been selling them got me a case and a half of them, think i got 5 or 6 of them left.
