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

When most of what's in the gun safes along with the ton of specific ammo ,you refuse to --(or some, not allowed) to shoot because you're afraid to hurt the ol' girls. Could be ATT refusals are ----a blessing in disquise?;)

When the buttpad of your rifle was designed to smash teeth.

When there is no petroleum product (plastic, rubber) anywhere on your rifle.

When the action cycles smoother and faster than a 500$ Remington.

When you are told that grouping shots at 100 yards is impossible with iron sight, and you intend to prove that wrong (working on it..)
 
you ask your priest what the pennance is for bubbaing a gun

when you have never paid more than 300 for any bolt actiongun

when you have paid more for a bayonet than you have for the gun you put it on

your dress clothes were only such in 1914 and only by military standards.
 
When, after you are dead, you wife calls police, and ask them to remove and destroy all your "ugly" and unwanted guns from the house, including your $ 75.000 Colt, because she did not know the value of it and your other guns.

It happened in Summerland, British Columbia, few years ago.
 
That's truly sad. :( ^

On a happier note... you find yourself burning music of the era of your favorite milsurp rifle onto a CD to play on the way to work.

True story. :D
 
When any of your legitimate milsurp rifles made after the 1950s (ish) are prohib by name

When you look at plastic on a firearm and laugh

When the history of your firearm means more then condition and $$$ value

milsurp collector

When you look through the scrap metal pile of a Lethbridge metal dealer, sorting out 2 inch Mortar parachute rounds for ones with good tail fins so you can fire your 2 inch Mortar. (circa 1980s)

When you pull up to Customs in Fort Erie (1957) with four Lee Enfield Sniper rifles, complete, at $44.95 U.S., and a 23 mm French anti-tank gun on wheels ($149.00 U.S.) and the Customs guy says "thats neat." Then he charges you duty on the stuff, says "have a nice day", and sends you on your way.

When you have Marstar's phone number on speed dial.
