I've got family that fought and died on both fronts in WWI, and WWII, anybody got a Halifax I can park in my garage? These old rifles to some were the tools of life or death for many, and I like having the privilege of shooting the same rifles.
What do you love about Milsurps?

Not a privilege, but a right to shoot these rifles, a right paid for in Canadian blood sweat and tears.
A very nice quote supplanting this can be read in my sig.
I like the connection to my family's past, my Great Uncle (soldier of the Empire- 1919 - 1946, Afghanistan, Mesopotamia, India, China, cut off at Dunkirk, POW 1939-45 tortured for sabotage and almost executed) used to tell me stories as young boy, of the places he had been, the rifle is like a link to that.
