Hello all
I've been lurking and learning for a month now. Introduced to the site by a painter in MI.
Thanks Charlie!
 I've been collecting and shooting 20 years now, trying to keep my collection from the Krags to 20th century milsurps. Especially U.S. with some foreign sprinkled in.
The carbines have been a bit intimidating so far, with all the prime and subcontractors markings. But time to man up and learn these somewhat.
My placeholder is an IBM purchased back in the day, and shot occasionally. However it's in cold Storage up north at the moment. So will inspect it closer and present here this summer.
 Got the bug and purchased a CMP Bavarian last week, not arrived yet but I have sellers pics which I will 
resize and post up in the general discussion forum tomorrow. I have notes on it from the excellent Bavarian sub forum. What a great site this is as I dive in, even has Bill Ricca articles!
 I follow every day new posts, and have been way back on older posts too. A lot to absorb, so look for some dumb questions, But Charlie told me no such thing!
Looking forward to participating.
Brad

Welcome to the forum. And Charlie is wrong. There is a dumb question. Its the one you are afraid to ask because you think its a dumb question. Everyone has or has had that question. Better to ask and get the answer that you (and probably others) need. Nobody is going to laugh unless they are laughing with you. Exception to that rule: we laugh at Painter frequently. *snicker*
