Just joined up and glad I did. As a long time M1 Carbine enthusiast and general military rifle collector I found this forum after a web search and jumped at the chance to interact with fellow collectors in Godzone.
I've been lucky enough to visit NZ twice now and have friends on both islands, most of whom are also shooters and collectors. One of my Kiwi mates is a former captain in the NZDF and is a dedicated shooter-- and he tells some great stories!
I do hope to get back to NZ soon, and in the meantime should any of you get a chance to visit the western USA, there are some terrific gun shows here! Feel free to email me at embosanATgmail.com
Cheers and good collecting~!
