Hello Everyone,
I'm a new member here. I'm a collector of antique firearms in upstate NY and I've been collecting for about 4 years now. My collection grew significantly during the covid years as I had nothing else to do basically so I bought guns in need of minor restoration and fixed them up. I have always been interested in 18th and 19th century military history, tactics, equipment and arms. I own a variety of muskets and rifles from the 18th and 19th centuries and a few WW1 and WW2 rifles, mostly British Commonwealth in origin as I find those very interesting. For the first few years I only collected them as decorative pieces as I was physically unable to fire them due to a workplace shoulder injury that I have just recently recovered enough from to actually make it out to the range. I have several repro's now that I shoot and this is an enjoyable hobby. I also collect and use early 20th century vintage large format cameras, which I find fits in well with this hobby and is quite fun to do as well. Anyway, that's about it and I am glad to be here and have access to the knowledge and community here on the forum.
Thanks,
Jmh0630
