Figured I might as well make my first post now that my collection is somewhat decently-sized. I'm fairly new to firearms collecting, and as you can see my interests right now tend towards World War I era infantry rifles (with a couple older pieces). However, assuming (hoping) AWB 2.0 doesn't pass, I'd certainly like to get some newer guns as well.
Pic of my collection as it stands:
From top:
-Southpaw flintlock Virginia Fowler, 20 gauge smoothbore, modern repro by M. Avance
-Springfield Model 1868 trapdoor, .50-70 Government, breechblock dated 1870 and lock plate dated 1863
-Mle. 1886 M93 Lebel, 8x50mmR Lebel, Tulle, barrel dated 1891, Balle N marked
-1891 Carcano, 6.5x52mm Carcano, Turin, barrel dated 1897
-Arisaka Type 38, 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka, Koishikawa no series with serial # in the 1.8 million range
