Hi FB-UK

#1 Post by Tower75 »

Hi Guys.

New to the forum, only just found it. I've been active on the US forums for quite a while but never knew there was a native one. Just wanted to say "hi".

I've been shooting for about 9 years now and have only just started reloading.

My main interest is military-surplus, anything from front-stuffing to late war era.

Currently I own:

BSA. No1 MKIII SMLE
Eddy/Reminton. P14
Spandu. G98 Mauser
Original P1853 Enfield rifle-musket
2x Pedosoli Brown Bess Musket
Pieta Colt Navy revolver.

Looking forward to chatting and making friend :wave:

Hi.

Thanks. They work really well. I can hit a standard-sized paperback book at 50 yards with one.

It was a rubbish read, so I though "why not" ;)

25?

Twenty five? Now I am confused, I thought people shooting front loaders all smoked pipes, wore corduroy and sported singed eyebrows.
