    Hello everyone. I have recently started a Meetup.com group for collectors. Historical Firearms Collectors of Austin (Austin, TX) - Meetup I'm hoping it will be a good way to get this specific subset of gun owners together. Also, I'm hoping to shoot some cool rifles I don't already own. Even if you are not a collector or even if you don't own a milsurp but just want to shoot some and learn about old rifles and history you should join too. I will use this thread to keep you all updated on upcoming events.

    Thanks for reading, and hopefully we will get to shoot some cool old rifles.

    With Hicksville coming up, I'll have to sit out of this one too. :(


    No problem. There will be more in the future. Basically, I go shooting once a month and will try to keep the events going with that regularity. If you want to suggest a date/ range that works good for you I am very open to suggestions. The group is just starting out.

    check out our group site http://www.meetup.com/Historical-Firearms-Collectors-of-Austin/
    or just keep an eye on this thread. I hope to do at least one meet a month and to keep them themed but all milsurps are welcome. You will certainly learn a lot about your rifle and any other that show up. I know that I do.
