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" ;)

Wow - thanks guys. I feel welcome already.

I've shot at Bisley once - and made a muppet out of myself... long story :oops: ;)

I'll share what knowledge I can - always happy to. I haven't got much "life experience" I'm 25 :lol:

But I do know me guns

25?

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

Jeans, a T-shirt and a bottle of pop. I've got singed arm hair... if that counts?
