Welcome aboard Brian. You've found the place. We would like to know who you are, where you live, and where you've been. We're a bunch of people who like to talk AND listen.

So go ahead

I live in Mentor, OH (about 25 miles east of Cleveland). I haven't been too many places yet since I'm *only* 24. One day I would really like to get to Normandy, and see a World Rally Championship round while I'm in Europe.

I have a small collection of WWII weapons. 3 M1's, and an 03A3 Springfield. I carry a 1911 also, but it's a new manufacture. And obviously an immense passion for WWII history.

What else do you wanna know? Ask, I could type all day sometimes.

Your IQ, blood type and typing speed.

I dunno, red, and 857408932

Okay. I just had to ask the blood type when a guy says he is packing a cannon.

Oh.....I forgot..... Welcome aboard.

I bought a Sig .380 for my concealed carry, but I couldn't get used to it. So I went back to what I learned to shoot on, a 1911.

Welcome Brian. Better late than never. Hey Chuck and Papa Art, I am hoping that Brian can become our guest sometime this year at the 101st meetings. Brian and I are trying to plan something. We've been talking behind the scenes... :lurk:

Well with a typing speed of 857408932, how could we deny you entry.

Nice having ya here. I think you will enjoy your stay.

Welcome aboard Brian, from another "gun nut" and a ww2 Inf. vet. I'm still shooting

and reloading even yet.

Ah yes, reloading is next on my list of things to pick up. I prolly have about 2000 rounds of .30 cal brass laying around in boxes.

I might have to make a trip to Camp Perry to pick up a little more before I can get into reloading.

Everytime I fire one of my M1's I wonder "where has this little guy been? Who's looked down these sights before, and WHAT were they aiming at?"

Bri:

Got this today. Right up your alley kiddo!

My birthday IS on Friday...might have to buy myself something.

I agree. I always by myself something. Go for it!

An early Happy Birthday too!

Sounds like a cool video. Nothing like shooting thru things like helmets and cars to see how powerful those guns were.

My brother bought a Spanish 8mm Mauser in the 1960s and the ammo he bought had red bands on it---steel armor piercing rounds. Boy! Did we have fun with those.

For many deer rifle, you shoot it into a oak tree and it stops---you can see the bullet in the entry hole. Fire these rounds into a 3-inch branch and it would go clean thru. I recall shooting thru a railroad tie with it.
