Howdy All!!!

Howdy ya'all,

Greetings from Southwest Missouri. I stumbled upon this forum while looking
for a particular gun pic, then browsed around a little. I guess I liked what I
saw cause here I am!

I have enjoyed guns and shooting since I got my first pellet gun as a lad and
became proficient with it and moved on to a single shot bolt action Springfield .22. Been a long time since that and now own several different types of firearms and became a C&R licensee about a year and a half ago so the collection is still growing.

Like everyone I have my favorites and those that sit and collect a little dust, never have enough time to shoot, and I drool over what I can't have.

Oh well such is life,
That's enough wind outa me!

hi iceman! im a c&r kinda guy myself. ive had mine for about 1 1/2 years also. any particular type as a favorite? im partial to the enfields but i have quite a few different flavors in the safe.

ICEMAN 357 · 06-12-2007, 08:14 PM

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed me thus far!

Billy, to answer your question, my hands down favorite of the C&R variety
has to be my Schmidt Rubin K-31. Although not the prettiest rifle by far, I
love the silky smooth straight-pull bolt action and the accuracy with iron sights is dead on. I plan on getting another one before they completely dry
up, just hope I can find one with a little nicer stock. I believe the common
description for them is "beaver chewed".

I confess I don't have an Enfield but have been looking at them as well as
the Steyr's and others. My most recent C&R purchase was a CZ-82 pistol,
and no I haven't got to shoot it yet.

Welcome. Sounds like we have similar taste in C&R. K-31's are great.

Hello ICEMAN...Yeah, it's a pretty good place. However, there are some on here that are tilted just a little out of plumb. One in particular to watch out for is an inbred cuzin of mine called ArkansasHunter. Keep your hand on your pocketbook when dealing with him. Have a good time, glad you're here.
