PLEASE! ......You MUST do the following 3 (simple) things,
or you will run afoul of our requirements.
If you fail to do any of these, don't bitch at us if your account is removed.
If your account has been removed (or deleted) 3 times, then you will be blocked from the forms.
1) You must make at least one post in the first 5 days, or your account will be deactivated. 
Please post something relevant, and more then "I'm here". (short intros like this will get deleted)
You may re-register the same name and start over if you screw up and fail to post. But if you re-register more then 3 times, you will find that you are not allowed back on the forums with that name (the name will be blocked because this is not a game and you don't get to waste my time over and over).
2) First Posts Are Moderated!!! You will be in the "New Users" group until you get 3 posts. Those post will be approved before anyone can see them. After the 3 posts are made (+ or -) the restrictions will be lifted.
3) Please Read The Rules!!!! (Don't just skip over them!!!) Preservation Forum Rules:
We do not advocate or encourage altering any military surplus firearms.We are a Preservation board.
"Reversible" changes that are made are considered OK as long as they are 100% reversible and no altering of the firearm has been made.
Original parts should be kept to return the firearm to "original" later.
Items such as scout mount that removes the rear sights and adds a mount for a scout scope are considered OK as long as the items causes no permanent damage or alterations.
Replacing damaged parts to return the firearm to working condition is acceptable and should be kept to a minimum.
Swapping out parts to make the rifle "more correct" is not acceptable nor is conversation about doing it.
Drilling and tapping, refinishing of metal parts, or refinishing stocks are not considered preservation and discussing how to do this is not acceptable discussion on these forums.
Do not ask how to alter a military surplus firearm here, or post altered military surplus firearms on the Preservation Forums.
If you are thinking of altering a military surplus rifle, we don't want to hear about it here. It may be your rifle to do as you wish to it, but this is our house and we don't want them posted here.
There are other forums you can take them to.
If you have come in possession of a alter surplus rifle and you are considering
Trying to repair that damage, you may post it in the Restoration Forum or Sportster Forum .
If it is going to be left in that condition it may be shown in the Sportsters Forum .
It will be up to the Administrators to decide if it is allowed to remain or not.
No posting or discussions of reproduction snipers or re-snipered ex-snipers.
Discussions on reproductions and re-snipered sniper rifles almost always start an argument and negative discussions.
We have chosen to cut off discussion of these rifles. Please don't ask if it is OK to drill and tap anything. It's not.
Not all policies can be written down (too long and you wouldn't read them anyway).
Policies are set by the Administrators with the help of many of the long time forum members.
