This is my US M1 Rifle with vintage steel tube Weaver K12 attached with no-tap scope mount by S&K. In a short period of time, I can return the sniper rifle to rack rifle dress. Nothing historic about this rig, but lots of fun to shoot with various loads.

Yes, Capt'n, I probably have too many rifles! <8^)) I began gathering a long time ago......actually acquired my first .22 rifle in 1952 at age 10. After I wanted to put a few firearms for sale in my clock shop in Hampstead, Md. I discovered that I had to have an FFL. Getting the license really did stoke the coal into the fire of my passion for rifles, because then, I could buy anywhere through the mails.
I still engage in trading, because there is always something new to get, shoot and learn about. I have begun to appreciate Vet bringback rifles that have been rechambered. One fun piece that I enjoy handloading and shooting is in the attachment. That is a Type 38 Arisaka in 6.5-257Roberts. Uses the original Arisaka bore and either 257Roberts or 7x57Mauser cases.
Now that I am retired in Florida, I have more time for range work.
My primary interest still lies in military long guns.
In what area do you collect?

I am attempting to collect one of every long rifle of WWII. I have a good collection now. I listed some pics in the Misc Millitary Rifle Forum.
