You know you're a milsurp collector when.....

When you watch any war movie and realize you have in your collection more examples of the rifles used in production than you don't. And then you take this oppourtunity to make a check list of rifles you need to add to your collection.
When you've given up collecting Long Branch No4's based on year and are now on the hunt for every serial number prefix (0L###x, 1L###, 2L###x, 3L###x......)

Milsurp collectors
When your local Militia Regiment wants to borrow weapons from you.
When you always BACK into parking spots.
When you have a dog named "Browning"
Your kids are named "Minenwerfer, Shrapnel and Tank"
All your ammo is in Military calibres.
Your off road vehicle is a Deuce-and-a-half
And the wife is referred to as the "Top Kick."

When your idea of a rifle collection is separated by Country of Origin.
When you look around you work shop or Computer area and gun parts all over the place.
When you buy CLP or and other gun cleaning solution in containers no smaller than 1 gallon.

When you would rather sleep with your rifles than your wife!
Or when you get more action from your rifles than your wife!
milsurp nut
how about when you buy parts rifles for your parts rifles.if you pick up the tv remote and find the action you lost.if you own 6 of the same model,they were a good price. when you hear bubba you think spare parts. when your brass collection out weights your wife.

- taking a picture of your collection is not feasible, because you have a secure room, not a locker or even several lockers
- your "thirds" add up to more than most people's "firsts"
- you are filling holes for years, not models or countries
- you need a lathe for routine reloading
- you just don't have time to keep up with "Monthly Purchases" threads

Heres another one for you (true story ):
You go on a trip to "get away from it all" and realize all you needed to do was "accidentally" lock yourself in your man cave with all your milsurps for the same amount of time and at a fraction of the cost.
