My name is Clay, I have an unhealthy obsession with German rifles and have collected them since I was 12. About the most I ever chase are hogs out here but love reading stories from Africa and have found myself on this site many times over the years so I figured I would join. Thanks for having me.
 
Welcome to AH glad to have you as part of the AH community!
My best, Jaco
 
Great to have you Clay!! This certainly is a wonderful site to read about adventures!!
 
Welcome to AH! Post pics of rifles please!
 
Welcome Clay, does that include double rifles?

Welcome to AH, and I think you will find this to be a wonderful, fun, and very helpful community. I've already met and collab'd with several awesome members of this forum, including a few in-person meetups. Probably much like yourself, I was brought here by my love for Mauser-based bolt rifles, particularly those with a classic Safari look to them; whether they be German, Belgian, Finnish, or classic Americana (a passion for these rifles that I inherited from my father). I hope you enjoy your time here and get alot out of it.

BTW, in what part of Texas are you located? Myself and several other members are located in North Texas (e.g. Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex or nearby).

Welcome to the site Clay! You have certainly come to the right place to hear great stories and talk about rifles. Enjoy!
 
Giday Clay and welcome to the A H forums
 
Thank you everyone! I grew up in both South Central TX as well as AK, but I’m now in DFW as well. I split my time between east and west, if you happen to be in Cash then we are very close, at least for part of the week ha!

I have always had a strong affinity for Mausers, but I also love a variety of combination guns. I love German DR’s and am searching for more but I actually only have one at the moment, a prewar Kessler. Thanks again for the welcome!

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
