You know you're a milsurp collector when..

You find 75 year olds attractive

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

When you have 6 or 8 examples of the same model, and you swap parts between them to return one to 'factory original'.

 

[burnt_servo]

When you swell with pride when you hear coalition forces fear taliban marksmen with Lee Enfields. Hope no one got hurt, but the ole girl still has it...

lmfao ......

 

[mikerock]

You have ammo that they don't make anymore

 

[BWEST]

.... a cosmolene rag accidentally gets into the laundry pile, and you spend 30 minutes scrubbing the inside of the washing machine with hot water and soap.



How do you know you're a milsurp collector?

-------- You Too !!! ???

 

[Drachenblut]

When you realise that instead of food, shelter, and water, you now own examples of ancient arms carried to war by men of the past who's blood sweat and tears stained the ground to preserve their cause and fight for what they believed was right! (Shame on you men with unissued examples. What good is a War Horse without the War? Just a Horse.)

When this is your second car !

 

[old enfields]

When you see that old beat up Enfield and cant think of a reason NOT to buy her.

Your buddy is watching you shoot your bog standard NO.4 at 300 yards and comments "If I had been a German during the war I sure would have been scared"


You see a M1 Garand on the rack with a muzzle break and think who was the AHole that did that to a Garand.

 

[BWEST]

When this is your second car !

----- O, -- That is " Sweet " !!!

 

[albayo]

When you have a choice of having ###, or fondling a new gun, and you go with the gun.

 

[cyclone]

When you watch WWI & WWII movies, pausing and rewinding to bask in the milsurp goodness of a specific scene (all while holding a milsurp as you watch) .

 

[Ar180shooter]

When the local gunsmith calls you to help ID and appraise the milsurp guns coming into the shop - LOL.

Lol

That just might be an indicator...

 

[DANCESWITHEMPTIES]

When the words "sporterized" or "Bubba'd" just make you want to puke!

 

[Beadwindow]

......when you have rifles and handguns that have been used in war by and against people of every religion, nationality and ethnicity you can think of....

 

[ArtyMan]

When you collect arms from "both sides"

When you play certain computer/xbox games because it has "your rifle" in it

 

[6167]

The only time my wife says " Are you done yet?" is when I have a cleaning rod in my hand!

 

[ArtyMan]

When bright blue patches coming out of your bore dont scare you...anymore

When your worried about buying a "fake" gun

When you watch milsurp prices change depending on what big movie is out in theatres

 

[kjohn]

...when you have to stop and think, "Do I actually have a sporting" firearm?"

[UCSPanther]

When you are stockpiling oddball cases that no one has ever heard for over 70 years at least...
