   Hi all,
New member to the forum but long time Enfield collector. I have a particular love for cavalry carbines, but generally collect just about anything Enfield/Metford with dalliances into other British military rifles, revolvers, and machine guns back through the Martini. 

I'm a U.S. Navy surface warfare officer, so I get the pleasure of shlepping all my rifles across the country every couple years. Happy to be here and looking forward to being a contributing member to the forum.
